Oh man I don't do that anymore but when I first quit boozing. I drank copious amounts of water only because I was vomiting it up all the time while detoxing and I wasn't going to pay for anything else that comes straight from my tap.

After detox I'd take a gallon jug of water and ice with me to work and usually finish that off, then came home and did the same sometimes, especially around company. Now I just keep a rotating bunch of 5, 28 oz (828 ml) bottles that I drink, refill, grab another and throw them back into the fridge rotation. I take three of those to work every day.

Started drinking juice, tea and milk along with an occasional energy drink too, so that adds to the rotation. You will rarely find me without a beverage within range. Just something to suck on lol.... You have to remember I was, at the least, 24 twelve ounce beers a day so this dude really likes his liquid.

It was the same way with ciggies. I was two packs a day easy lighting them up one after another. Fortunately for me that changed when they banned indoor smoking. I tried vaping at first because you can get away with that but it's messy and too much work so I found the nic packets I talked about and they did the trick.

now fortunately, free and clear. I still have my days where I'm constantly thirsty or really over do it with food to stuff in my pie hole but they are few and far between. I went on a chocolate binge since Sunday and I'm more worried about my teeth than my belly. Both of them are okay but I just need discipline so it doesn't get out of hand. ;-)

Yes, Karen Carpenter, like many others from her time, was lost way too early. A different era where they were just figuring out about mental instability or drug addiction and instead of getting help, we got ostracized. It still happens today but I know some day we will wake up, grow up and face our problems head on without the grisly results.

I try to eat most of my cannabis now but sometimes I can't resist..... Peer pressure lol.
