of course you can ask. I have no secrets here. 
it seems complicated since we can not figure out still what might be the root cause. but… I have neuropathy. so 24/7 pain in inflamed nerves all through my body. it is a progressive thing that makes nerves die off. it started 3 years ago with what i thought was a burn out. then it turned out I had neurological form of lyme. been treated for that but sins 8 months the nerve pain is increasing every day. my stomach and colons do not work due to which I have B12 deficiency and chronic inflammation. think I had that already years but just did not care for my body enough since I was always really fit. so an auto immune disease in my digestive track. like Crons or colitis seems most realistic. but takes long time to figure out. But I have pain every minute of the day. that is why a few months ago out of the blue I started drinking once a week to numb… but it makes it worse in the end. and now this week paralasis is kicking in and that is why I fell again today, I just collaps, and most of the time I am fine. but today I was not so lucky.

@CHASING_Joy from my experience, when first coming off the alcohol, you do have trouble sleeping because your body has been dependent upon it for so long. I have started taking 10 mg melatonin. About 30 min to an hour before bed. It helps me fall asleep and STAY asleep. When I was drinking every night, I would always wake up around 2-3 am and be awake for a couple hours.

I wish I could do yoga better. I have never been to a class but have an online subscription that includes yoga workouts. For the most part, I really enjoy them but some of the bends are difficult because I have a lot of fat in the way. 
It makes me feel like I can’t do it because I can’t bend that far.
@Maria oh my!! I definitely understand about wanting to numb yourself. That is a lot for a person to handle. Are you planning on trying to figure out why it is happening or maybe accepting and trying to live your best life?
Trying to stay busy. This thread helps.

I had a day of testing. results on march 24th and april 3rd. doing a lot of studying. and in some cases there might be a change of getting better. But you a spot on. accepting that my life is going to be different than I hoped it would be and that my future is uncertain. just like with everybody of course, control is an illusion, but now I have a diagnoses to back it up hihi. it is different. and my reaction was to just numb it… but the only control I have is to let go, learn to take care of myself and hope that things will fall in place, a new future will arise. different but new

@Three jump in whenever you’re ready!
@Marisim I would say, pick your workout, be it a program, going to the gym, walks, whatever works for you and commit to 30 days.
of course we want to have beautifull poses… but that is also performance and ego… I am sure Love that by doing it with your body and your present moment you are doing all that needs to be done. You can only start in the present moment and that is the simpelest aproach to yoga and als the most complicated part. Not about reaching the toes, but about what you meet on your way down. once you feel the resistance in a pose. you work with that and let the body guided by the breath open up. and then the next step will manifest. actually all the things we normally do not do in life when we push through.
Yes when your body is use to carbs or sugar. Leaving that out will the first week or two give you headaches. The body needs to adapt.
I will have a look there is plenty on the internet. Like do 50 squats a day for the next 30 days. But im not sure what you guys like. 
I will try that
@CHASING_Joy I had have trouble sleeping for a looong time like 3 years or more. Not because of alcohol, but just in general. I was perscripted Circadine which is containing Melathonine, its not addicting like sleeping tablets, because its a contribution to the natural sleeping hormone in our body. So there is two kind of meds containing Melathonine as far as I know. The one you take if you have trouble falling asleep or the one i took which is released over time during the night keeping you sleeping. And I have had wonderfull results. I only had them for 30 days, just finshed and need to talk to my doctor if i should keep taking them or not. Before I got them I was sleeping like 4 hours at night but waking up three or four times, so it was very interrupted sleep and it could easily take a good couple of hours to fall asleep. After I got the from the first day - I slept the after max 20 min and slept for a good 6-7 hours without waking up except if i needed to go to the toilet. So I have been very pleased with them Now I have been without them for two days, hadnt had problems falling asleep, but have been waking up once or twice during the night, but right now im okay with that at least while im on sickeleave and I dont have to be fresh for work. I hope you can use a bit of my advice
