The “hi, I’m ___ and I’m an alcoholic/addict” thing.

I’m quitting (since Thursday) because of medical reasons. The meds I’m on do not work effectively if I drink/harmful interactions. Also because over the past year I’ve experienced my first bout of blackouts,severe episodes of binge drinking. These things do not come without some pretty serious repercussions in my personal life. I’ve noticed alcohol has been the common denominator to most of the low points I’ve had over the past year. I went to my first meeting yesterday

I don’t crave alcohol. I don’t like drinking alone. I don’t think about it when I am sad/trying to cope, nor do I use it to cope. It’s just in social situations I find myself having issues. If I don’t stop at 1-2 drinks, drunk me only wants to drink as much as possible.

Basically in my mind it’s like when someone is sad because of a life issue and starts going around telling everyone they have depression, when they don’t. Like yes you are struggling, but not to the degree you are describing yourself to fit the label.

Not trying to disrespect anyone if I am. Genuinely just looking for answers. Thank you.

I’d say since March I’ve been consistently eating (give or take but almost every day) 25+ grams of fiber. To my understanding, that is a normal amount. I have had non stop gas since then, which seems odd. I was super into these stevia drinks, so I cut those out thinking it was causing it. Nope. I’m 5’9 and 126 lbs.

Like the gas itself is worst at night, smells so rotten. My bowel movements also have this like odd sweet(not super sweet just like, sweet in general seems odd to me). Is this just like the way it is for a few months?

Just wondering if it’s like an issue of the type of fiber I’m getting? I love fruit. I eat whole grain mostly, minus rice and pasta I like the “unhealthier” version. I love beans and salads. Just generally try to get the higher fiber choice so I can stay fuller for longer. I am not super into animal protein, I eat it a few times a week but mostly tofu. I am completely dairy free for cosmetic reasons(acne). I noticed this started more last month when I was eating chia pudding in the mornings. I have stopped but the sweet smell is still around. Is my body just like yearning for the no fiber lifestyle😭

So the office I work at people usually don’t knock to be let in unless they are meeting someone here. With that in mind, I let the two girls in (they have iPads). They ask to see my manager(not here) and I told them I would not be able to get a hold of the manager today but I would send and email (I am not).

They told me they were reporting on the cell towers nearby or something, and that if I was within the certain network I could get a free upgrade (T-mobile..ATt.. etc). I tell them I am covered on a plan already. I go back to my front desk (I’m a secretary kind of basically) and they’re just standing there. I’m like can I help you? In my head but I just pretend to do make an email so they’d leave.

Maybe it is some charitable thing or something but is this not soliciting? There’s a no solicitation sign outside by the door. I guess I’m just confused if I’m being paranoid or this is a scam people do. Thanks!

So confused I’ve never had this happen. I’m very excited about my package so I am literally watching out the window the last hr cause that’s when they usually come by.

However, I saw nothing! And the tracking is not updated either.

Am I going crazy? I saw them pass the house neighboring us on the opposite side hrs ago.

I remember it like it was 5 minutes ago, because that’s when it happened for me. I was doing a dissertation on a thesis when it came to me. After getting my 5th phd in economics I decided it was time for me to accept my fate❤️❤️

my teachers assistant I keep around so I have someone to always listen to my monologues gasped. It was so magical to feel enlightenment. He was so happy to hear I must go and never come back, I know everyone else will be so excited too. I want to hear some story’s about your conception❤️

(I think). 21F 125lbs 5’9.I started working out again over past few weeks. Went on a run when I was feeling upset and didn’t realize how good working out makes me feel. I mean generic advice but so true.

Anywaaays, I get excited. Last year i consistently was doing squats, crunches, those sideways leg lift things, plank, mountain climber, calf raises, leg raises(?? Idk what it’s called). Discovered farmers carry from this sub so did that yesterday 30lbs in each hand.

I don’t know if it’s from me holding 30lbs while doing squats but my butt is so sore! Like the lowest part, if that makes sense? I’ve never felt sore there in my life so I wonder if that means my form is bad and I should chill out. TMI but earlier I was flexing my butt(idk why okay lmao) and it started hurting so bad I got this radiating sudden pain in the sorest part on my left side. It’s subsided now but that had me worried, pain wasn’t unbearable but wasn’t normal either. Like 5/6 out of 10?

Never had this issue before. Like my calves and glutes are so sore. Also my arms are painful by the joints so i definitely overdid it with that. At my work I am carrying 45lbs as well (I have wet noodle arms) so I think maybe I over did it this week?

How do I know when to stop? Or when pain is not normal? Based on the routine I have so far (very rough/basic) what should I change/add if anything?

Thanks!! Sorry if I sound like an idiot I just want to learn to be safe/healthy.

21F, 125lbs. I’m very much skinny-fat. I recently have started working out again over the past few weeks. Yesterday I added some weights to my routine and my body hurts… anyways. I’m working out mostly for health reasons. Vanity is not my goal.

I noticed with weights I’ve always enjoyed carrying heavy stuff and walking it to another location? If that makes sense? Like 40-50lbs (I have like no muscle💔) walk around until I can’t anymore? This to me is a lot more enjoyable. I just don’t know if it’s actually a good workout? In regard to building some muscle on my arms?

I know this is an odd question. Kind of just overthinking it I guess. Any answer is appreciated !

TLDR: is carrying a heavy object around until i can’t anymore a valid way to gain some muscle?

I think it will not be here by the guaranteed time as I am quite literally in the US. Question is will the service still have expedited benefits? I was expecting at least 2ish weeks. Confused and can’t find answers on the World Wide Web. Thanks!
