Anytime you need to quit something, replace it with something positive!

I've never been addicted to substances, but I have been guilty of buying stuff (guitar gear being one of the main culprits) to forget or DELAY my problems since the age of the internets made it so easy. I have so much stuff that it's obscene, and really need to sell some and replace that urge with another goal. For me, it's been fitness. For most of my life, I've equated fitness with maintaining strength in familiar areas, but that's only part of the picture. It's also a healthy diet, cardio, flexibility, working the heavy bag, and quality SLEEP.

When your body is sound, your mind is sure to follow. You see things from a different perspective. You have disciprine and endurance! 🥋

Smoking increases the chances of stroke and infarc during detox, same with unmanaged blood glucose.

If you’re a fairly heavy drinker (of Bourbon) don’t just stop. You have to ween off alcohol especially if you’re older. Alcohol and benzo’s are two categories of depressants that can actually kill you if you go cold turkey. Do you know your blood sugar and do you smoke?
I’m a former nurse…so.

Haha now you scared me. Not sure if you read the entire post.....did I ween down in a safe manner? Sleep patterns have improved drastically! Was not good at first.

I think so. You’re still here. Tapering allows your body to adjust to less ethanol until the dependency snaps. I’ve seen a lot of people die.

Jerk is 1000000% correct. Two of my best friends and ex-bandmates died from cold turkey in the last few years.

My buddy David (who played bass in the Fartz and filled in for Klaus in DK for a couple shows) tried to cold turkey benzos and had a stroke. It lowers your seizure threshold. He was 54.

My friend Brad got high blood pressure and shit with his DTs and had a heart attack. He was my age (41)

I'm super stoked on your progress @Tone Monster and glad to hear you are weaning yourself down - this shit is dangerous.
 
Friday check-in, what's good @Tone Monster ?

Hope all is well. I'm tied up with gigs till sunday...heading out in a few. Be good bro!!!
 
I've got no advice tonight, but I've got some Jager.........and some chilled glasses......:rock:

Great thing about Jager is that it doesn't take much to reach your destination.....moderation, Daniel-san.
