Tapered down and began treating for type-2 diabetes instead. Strict intermittent fasting and a fully PBD for 13 weeks with NAD supplementation on top of basic (senior citizen) multi vitamins and extra b complex.
After the 13 weeks I allowed myself meat again and I will drink root beer or creme soda when I feel "off".
It's a sugar problem. It's hypo. It's a metabolic disorder.
It's been 2.8 years sober after 15 years daily drinking.
Getting sober unmasked my OCD. I take a gaba-b agonist now to treat that and I will never ever drink again.
!!! PSA : I emailed the author of this this morning while on the toilet and got an email back thanking me for my kind words, but ALSO made it very clear that this was meant to be PRIVATE communications between her and Google, and that it was never meant to be posted here or elsewhere, ESPECIALLY with her private contact information exposed and she has very politely asked that people stop sharing this with her PRIVATE INFORMATION for all to see. She said all the incoming communications are essentially DDOSsing her servers at work and make it hard to do her job.
Idk if mods or anyone wants to do anything about that, but yeah we have a case of someone being doxxed here, and even without malicious intent - its causing her issues in her day to day life.
