This question is the quintessential rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Instead of dealing with the alcoholism you quibble over other issues.Please find a drug and alcohol therapist, preferably someone who specializes in motivational enhancement therapy. Having seen a friend in his 40s go through fulminant liver failure from alcohol use, I can attest that it ain't pretty. His liver is still shitty but he's functional, but his brain is toast...
Nutritional Advice needed/AlcoholismThis is kinda a weird one, and I'm not sure if it belongs here or some more niche subreddit.I am 25 years old, an alcoholic, I drink approximately 300mL of vodka every day or every other day. I have generally healthy eating habits, avoid pasta, carbs, eat primarily meat, vegetables, kefir, cottage cheese, low carb wraps, etc.. I do not drink anything containing sugar barring clear liquors. I have a family history of high blood pressure, which mine is manageable and better than most of my family. I think all things considered, barring my weight and alcoholism, I am relatively healthy, although I know I won't be forever with some of my habits.Through my insurance, I get gym memberships to basically everywhere for free, and just learned about this, and have been taking advantage of it. I'm not used to prolonged goal-oriented activity, and haven't been since maybe highschool track and field, though I went to the gym in college as well to a lesser degree. I didn't get a car until last year, and my exercise then consisted of a two mile commute by foot to work. I have hovered around the same weight for a long time, about three years maybe.I understand that alcohol has caloric content, which may impede my physical development as well as eat into my daily intake calorically.My big questions are as follows: Does it [alcohol] impede muscle recovery to your knowledge?If I exercise when I still hurt from a prior day's exercise, is that a bad thing? I want to go to the gym literally every available bit of off time I can spare, but I know overdoing things can cause bad effects depending on what they are. I'm not like, in agony, just tight in my legs and other places.I want to work on my alcoholism, but I've been very focused on dieting and exercise lately, and working in a pushy sales job during the holiday season means I got a lot on my plate in addition to those and I can't just fix everything at once I guess.
