Hormones

Hormones

These past few days have been emotionally interesting. I am doing the 30 day alcohol experiment with TNM, where I take 30 days of alcohol abstinence. So far I am on day 8. Yep, I haven't touched alcohol in a while. I have been very up and down with mild mood swings and it's not just the alcohol talking. It could also have something to do with my upcoming surgery. (Which had been rescheduled just recently) . I did some research and found out why my hormones have been strange. My estrogen levels have been a bit all over the place. So I found out that grounded flaxseeds could help stabilize it. So I tried it and it seemed to work. Something I could do everyday for the next 30 days. I don't feel like crying every time I feel bad.

Knowledge and research are such powerful things. It felt good to learn something new today.

Hey there @TheJuZShoW,

How's it all going with the alcohol abstinence? If my calculations are correct you might be past the half way mark, would love to hear how you're travelling with it.

@Former-Member I completed 33 days without a drink. But fell off the wagon and had 3 slip ups. Starting today I am getting back on the horse. Thinking of quitting for good.
