Way to be optimistic best wishes with everything/one!

Complete abstinence is the only way for me I feel too many painful trials and errors or erroneous trials but I tried to do it how I know the responsible users say to even experts I cannot why should I keep trying to intoxicate lol if only I can sell that idea to the fiendish cunning/conniving subpersonality/ies that keep me going back out to the races...

I told a guy at a meeting last night nicotine makes me want to drink he gave me a funny look but didn't give me a hard time about it at least. Grateful I beat the withdrawal recently.

Ermm unique just noticed a possible relation bt you and birdup? The uppity up family/club?
well done on quitting the cigs!! it took me 10 years from first desiring to quit to actually getting there. now i'm having concerns about my lung function i'm so glad i've quit.

a lot of people in early recovery at meetings smoke. most of the people in later recovery have quit. or that's what i've noticed anyway. and yeah there's def associations between different substances.

going a bit mad right now cos one of my cats is super stressed and he's weeing inside. the storm we're having isn't helping. tbh i think one of the neighbours might have really scared him cos he got trapped in their garden (they'd put something to block the route the cats were taking in, while he was in their garden ffs!!!) on wednesday morning, i needed to free him. and that's when this started. he's afraid of the sound of a paper bag rustling. i've booked him in at the vets so hoping they can help but i just wish i could reassure my little man. and i know he'll pick up on me being stressed, and that won't be helping.

Sending love to your furbaby. Felines do absolutely hate getting trapped. They panic and can actually hurt themselves.

Animals absolutely look to us to determine how they feel and behave.

I always thought it was crazy how much people smoke in rehab. There is definitely a huge connection between smoking and drinking. They're hard to separate. It used to be dangerous territory for me, when I was trying to get sober. I haven't smoked tobacco for about four years. I'm pretty certain I never will again.

Vaping as of late I was hooked on. Quit cigs at 19 minus when I booze and have some but you know that story?

Smoking and vaping at meetings doesn't trigger nor bother me.

Thanks Godspeed in your endeavors

i get it. i'm not defending it, but its the only thing i had left. i wasn't allowed sugar or caffeine. i reckon the only reason we were allowed nicotine was so we didn't walk, leave bad reviews, and hurt their business. at meetings i stuffed my face with biscuits and stole real tea bags. so i'm sympathetic to their decision to limit those substances, they clearly had a strong pull for me and many others.

thank you! to get to a point where it doesn't trigger you is truly amazing. i hope you know that and give yourself a pat on the back.
 
is all dandy because i haven't had fever not now when i am on course nor when it first bursted a few months ago and god bless ketonal man, it let me sleep in moment of thunderbolts.. in the head of infection because that's when i was gettin the first box of augmentin, i took one slept 1hr during that morning ( 8am) my wife came back with the box by 9am
 
I dunno, who'm I spoke with took augmentin also 875 for pneumonia and he told me that after 3 boxes it was gone, so i have high hopes for this. If not then I don't like it but i I NEED TO SAY IT, I WILL make some investigations, maybe those machines u bring in convo are some but i am and still will be skeptical regarding ''robotical'' intervetions on human beings as medicine.
 
Yeah I don't have cancer, inflictions aren't the same and my nose is still semi stuffed, now the left canal later the right one it walks me through.. anyhow i have two more pills of the initial box and then i go to the second stage which i've entitled as ''cleaning''
 
Royal Raymond Rife cured all cancers by targeting the cancer cells with it's exact own frequency.
what does that even mean?

you do realise that every single cancer is unique, right. there are certain mutations that arise in most cancers eventually (like those promoting the epithelial to mesenchymal transition in cancers targeting epithelial cells), and that start cancers off, but a small cell lung cancer in one patient will be very different to a small cell lung cancer in another patient.

what is a cancer's frequency?

and how, in the 1930s, were they able to identify the precise frquency of every cancer cell, given that they are not even homogenous within a single tumour.

please don't spout this sort of pseudoscience in the recovery thread. recommending people snake oil cures is the opposite of promoting health and recovery and thus not suitable for this sub forum.

also- f the e coli that causes serious disease can't resist targeted electrical current, how can the beneficial e coli in your gut, which only differ genomically from the pathogenic version by a few oligonucleotides, survive it?

if this electro stuff worked. doctors would use it.

In rehab they smoke a lot.true.chainsmoking.Same in the madhouse
 
@AutoTripper please just stop, we hadn't even been able to culture cancer cells until henrietta lacks. so there is no way he 'isolated their frequency' or whatever the fuck that means in the 1930s.

any more off topic and factually incorrect posts of this nature will be removed.

just been to a meeting that was in a much bigger room and fewer people, so less stressful. i love the fellowship in this town.
 
@chinup

I know the guy talks discomombulated, he's a Lounger so he tends to you know be different from many other users who visit the website for informations purpose.


Anyway.. today was a big day
for me as i was able to wash my teeth! i was able to wash you hear.. and i've clean a bit of the diclofenac that i've had, cuz i at the time i couldn't take anymore and i bought this useless gel and it still a bit left but until both glands go away i will stay away from washin head area, a wet napkin does the job but it seems that the wound area is impregnated and i need proper warm water and i can't bare it even now with it almost gone.

i'd have died in rehab if i couldn't have smoked.

in one of my IP stints for anorexia i was locked in my room and had to 'earn' priviledges, including the right to smoke, they gave me a fucking nicotine path ffs. was horrendous. i discharged myself once i got my bmi up to 15 cos it was fucking torture.

the other you had to be accompanied by a nurse for the first 2 days, and then were allowed out on your own to smoke. the nurses were always busy so it was a pain in the ass. then they accused me of walking too much while smoking so i lost my priviledge of going out unaccompanied. i woulda just smoked in my room but the girl in the room next to me did that and she got sent to a place that was way harsher- like they used it as a threat to keep you in line.

so, ime, the madhouse doesn't let you chainsmoke if you're on a locked ward/room. they fucking should though.

@Shady's Fox i'm glad you're making progress. those small steps add up eventually.
