Hang in there skiJ. You seem like good people even if your writing format is a little um, unconventional.

I'm 6 months away from 50. I certainly wish I had the fire,piss and vinegar I had when I was 35. I need to lose 30lbs. Can't stop eating ice cream.

Overall though, life is good. I'm sober. I was a drunk mess 4yrs ago.

I def need to have a fit and healthy 50s to set myself up for my 60s and beyond.

Hope things are good buzz.

So you traded 1 addiction for another? Put down the spoon, you're hurting your family!

[Cono Este]

Sorry to hear buzz, my depression has been almost fatal before and being tested right now. Cruel world.

I’m taking care of a gal friend, she’s stage 4-5 alcoholic, runs in family, already killed her sister. Parents are done with her, a family friend called me and told me she will die. I realized that Friday seeing her crashed out. After a month long bender.

What’s killing her is her kids. She can’t see them. Probably the worst thing I’ve realized a person could be cursed with, a mother, and alcoholic. The one thing she needs to save her, kept from her. I took her to court house to see them Sunday and she slipped a drink behind my back, and was denied. She got all dressed up, etc.. fucking beyond sad. A gorgeous gal, educated, once was a nanny, so a great mother too. I used to chase her, get jealous etc. the other assholes are all gone, and now I’ve finally realized her true loss, pain, etc..

In a month I’ve got to get the balls to move your way, probably best for me, but I’ll never be the same, never have another drink, and will count my blessings skiing this winter after 20 yrs without a full season.

Like goes on, it always does.

Hardly. I go on and off sugar. Generally not a big sugar guy but recently seem to be in it. Id rather be fat and sober than drunk and lean.

[riser4]

Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

[XXX-er]

Fat drunk and stupid with elevated blood sugar is no way to go thru life, son

I quit sugar and cut portions > 10 yrs ago, the more sugar you use the more sugar you wana use, it is arguably addictive

I think it was mostly the cutting portions but I lost 15 lbs in 4 months which has mostly stayed off

Thank You, Harry, for your kindness -

I , too, have a Midwest Families Pass.

I believe this thread addresses an important matter - for more than just ( / only) Buzz-


hang IN, magg.s -

I might even try to get Dj to Lost Trail next year !


Thank you. skiJ

( below ( shrug) )


' ( gonna) bump this thread with a short - I hope - anecdote :

I took two runs in March - first time since 2018 or absolutely the first time since pre-covid 2020 -

so,,, wanting more, I went to CO in May ;

Loveland was closed, so
we went to arapahoe ( what I call, A. Basin ) ;
pulmonary edema shut me Down after three, short, Easy, lower-mountain runs.

But it turns-out,
I did not go to CO to be on-skis >>

the next night - ten.pm, (on) May sixteenth (2024), I saw a mountain lion.

( no shit. )


Life can be a strange journey -

I am no - longer long for this Life., but as long as we are living, through whatever Darkness we live through ! EMBRACE the reward of Life. !


ski you next year, Mir -
I work a little each day not-to-be a complete turd. Midwest,,, was a "terminal-Intermediate" skier
( But, god, how I Loved to ski! ) --


Find your way through, magg.s !

I believe it is attributed to Churchill -
' If you find yourself in Hell, keep going !(through) ! !! '


peace, my friends.

A f'n mountain lion. !

I'll be here.

I'm still alcohol free and it's nice. Recently I've given up caffeine and oh man oh man was I addicted. We'll see if I can stay the course through next ski season. Fingers crossed.

What kinda masochist gives up caffeine?!?! Congrats on being alcohol free. It's liberating. But I have to remember to be humble. You will have to pry my Assam loose leaf tea out of my cold, dead hands.

Ice cream is going to save the day.

Right?

You guys think it's so funny! I was having anxiety, intrusive thoughts, sleep and recovery wrecked, taking benadryl to sleep, headaches, GI distress, on and on and on. I feel so much better now. I have naps!

Huberman says not to stack your dopamine. I was getting hopped up on caffeine, blasting music and bombing double blacks. And still wishing for more. Next season will be different. Zen.

I get it. I do.

Ok, cool. I do feel like the lone stranger, the only person in the room off the party train.

Highly recommend the pcilisyban micro dose to deal with the anxiety/ trauma of having nothing to worry about

I havent touched the MJ since

I've tried microdose caplets in both 100mg and 200mg. Haven't felt a thing. How big a dose are you taking/how often?

[byates1]

Ok. 6 months no sugar starting now. 6 months till 50. Would like to trim 10/20/30 lbs.

Ha- this reminds me of when we used to pop mini thins and run up Loveland Pass multiple times. We used to just go hauling past people, grunting like Mama Fratelli chasing the Goonies. I think a few times we might have lapped some groups, when we got lucky on a ride, or had a shuttle going.

I can't believe they used to sell those things in gas stations. Makes caffeine look like water to me.

What strategy worked for you to get off caffeine?

[XXX-er]

I should probably qualify my experiance by saying low grade anxiety

150 mg every other day which is 1 fifth to 1 tenth of a recreational dose so you won't actulay feel anything, i mark every other day on the calender and follow a regimen just like taking a medicine speaking of which its time for a cap and another espresso

so you don't get high microdosing but after a month you might fell less anxiety so IME its pretty subtle and like I said i don't feel like doing MJ and i might be drinking slightly less

if you read the micro dose thread its a whole bunch of people talking about getting fucked up on shrooms but nobody is actualy talking about micro dosing

I purged caffeine for a couple months this year and replaced my coffee ritual w mint tea
