+ 1 Mental health
After reading a lot of these recent posts and replies lately, I'd like to share a personal thought. Most of us on here are hormonal, it is what it is, aside from testosterone some of us are taking stuff for breast cancer, horses, cows... you know what I'm saying. New guys, USE THE SEARCH BAR. Its not that we won't help, but many of these questions have been answered, in detail. BFG and the mods run a nice forum site here, but you have to do some legwork on your own. Ok, I've seen posts lately questioning alcohol consumption during a cycle. Ok, were all stressed, covid, work, mortgages and rent. It adds up. Look, I rarely imbibe, but I don't judge. However, alcohol is a toxin. Poison. There is no "healthy" amount, only amounts that are tolerated by the body without killing you. If you've made the choice to use performance enhancing drugs, just take a break from the sauce. If you can't? Then you have bigger problems. Shout out to the SRCs, awesome promos lately from what I consider incredible sources. I hope everyone is well, I truly do, but make sure you're enjoying what you're doing otherwise there's no point. Eat some good food, go to work, get a nice eorkout in. Its not complicated. Best wishes to all of you knuckleheads. And for those of you considering taking breaks from the forum, I get it. But... were a like minded community here, almost a family, maybe open forum isnt the place to vent, but theres plenty of sub groups and people that will listen. Take advantage of it.

I like it when the mother and father exchange the baby penguin between each other when one of them gets tired in each others sack Lol Then when they walk along its about 1mm forwards each time as they have no legs.
Molinin302You know penguins have knees? They're just smart enough to keep them tucked in. I know my knees get cold. Penguins are smart. Learn from the penguins.
I bet thier balls are sucked WAY UP in there too.
I've been shitting myself a bit tonight dude - they have discovered growths on my dads kidney's and he's got to go in for tests tomorrow to see what it is :-(
Thats no good bro. Will keep both of you im my prayers. Healing for you both of you. Physically for your father and emotionally for you. I pray he gives you strength and understanding. Healing for your father. I pray this brings you both close to each other and also a closeness for your family . You are a strong man . Keep your head and heart up during these comming days. Know you have a group of friends here to lean on and take examples from. Also know this fact. It is not up to us to determine our day of rest but that of the Father. Allow His grace and fellowship to fill you and also those around you. Let Him be in charge of this. He is much more capable than we can fathom. You are in good hands my friend.
This is what you were Best at My Good Man, caring deeply for friends around you.
R.I.P Bill - Hope you are having a blast up there :-))
Cheers mate :-)) He waited till late tonight to tell me probably because he knows I will worry about it. It looks like cysts are the most common but then there are also cancerous and non cancerous types too. Not sure too much about how it was discovered yet but I'll be in pieces if it turns out to be worst case scenario I really will.
Fear of not knowing is always my worst enemy. The fact is you don't know so dont be making up a bunch of lies in your head. Breath . Wait to make a decision untill you have all the facts. If worst case happens people can survive with out them. Also transplants are an option. Remember don't make up fears to take control. I see you have a good relation with him. Dont let fear ruin that. I know these are easy for me to say because im not in the situation directly. Though I have had similar experience. My mom passed from brain cancer in 07. It was ugly. And nothing I could do to change it. I was given the opportunity to spend the time with her and will always cherish those moments. If I had lived in fear of what was happening it would not have been so. Take the time to love him .
Christ mate really sorry to hear that - my current position is sod all compared to what you no doubt went through. Yep as fearful alcoholics do immediately I go to worst possible situation in my head and assume thats how it will all play out, everytime I have done that it's never actually been the case. The worst cases are always when it just happens and you just don't get a seconds warning and boom its happened.
Its just human nature to try to control a situation and our brain try to cover all the basses before it happens. Its the great what if? Don't let it get you trapped. The truth is maybe the worst will happen maybe it was just a shadow of something. We aren't any more in control of when the sun rises amd sets than we are our own days. It is just the facts. Give it the evening amd find out then make your decision as wether to be upset or not. Remember our job is to love those we come in contact with , friends ,family strangers. We are not able to that if we are tied up with our own fears and worries. Try to make it about him and not so much about you. I find I get along much better when I take "me " out of the situation.
Agreed. Especially if your taking something that is hard on your liver you really shouldn’t drink. I live in a legal marijuana state so if worse comes to worse I’ll burn one now and again. After a heavy squat day it really helps.
Molinin302Exactly my bro, I myself don't do well with it. It either makes me laugh and truly enjoy life, or I have to close my eyes and kay on the couch because I think I'm dying lol. But cannabis is great, 100% less detrimental to health. Its nice to be able to escape here and there, free the mind up a little. Thanks for your reply bro.
Here is my theory.
Winter sux ! Is it cold, it is dark, there isn't enough time to get the work done. This drives me to a state of depression and anxiety.
Alcohol is a destroyer of flesh. It is man made. Humans will mess any good thing up. They made it.
Our wonderful creator loves us and wants us to be healthy and sain .
Why wouldn't He give us the medicine to combat these problems.
Man made alcohol will damage every thing from our bodies to our mind. Our whole existence!
Back to the natural medicine our creator made
When does this medicine give its most potent product?
Harvest time is late October right?
When is the dark cold depression time? Also the aches and paines ( "damn it must be going to rain my shoulder is killing me!" ) are we a weather man based on how our body hurts?
Late October ....
See where I'm going?
I fully believe we were given this plant to combat this issue. Yes it can be over used. I don't need to show up to work so medicated I cant think or function. I don't need to drive while medicated. Moderation is best used with every aspect of our life.
Makes me sick that our government believes we are too stupid to make decisions about our own health and well being. They made this natural medicine illegal so as to collect more taxes from the poison they push.
I regress.
The penalty for it’s use is far worse than the plant itself. I was facing A LOT of time for it a while back and now it’s legal in the state I was busted in. I’m not anti government, but gov’t should just leave it alone like they should with gear as well.
Have you tried tanning in the winter? Some people swear by it for seasonal affective disorder. I don’t have that but I work outside and winter can be brutal sub zero. It’s bright, I usually tan after dark so it’s like extra light in your day and it get so hot it feels like it warms my bones up.
They have this attachment for a lamp that auto adjusts to simulate the natural light of the sun so the house never gets dark like it sometimes does it in winter. It’s used for seasonal affective disorder but also for sleep problems since it’s light an artificial sunrise and sunset in the house. Stupid expensive and usually insurance won’t cover them. They also use heat lamps for those conditions.
Cheaper alternative you can find at a hardware store. Set the times the light turns on and off and buy a stupid bright light. I have it set so it goes off like angels coming down from the heavens brightness when I want to get up and then turn off a few hours before bed.
That’s some good information there. If I get the gumption I’ll have to try it out +
Cannabis should be regulated the same as tomatoes . Anymore regulation doesn’t really make sense
As long as alcohol is legal drug laws will never make sense to me.
Yes it’s not any better for you, just fully ingrained into our society. Plus you can die from drinking to much in any one setting.
All about the money/control/money
Molinin302Very very well said.
