Confessions and interesting facts about yourself

I really think people underestimate the difficulty of kicking a coke habit.. as in the cola variety. Massive congrats on the 2 weeks.. That's a great achievement and I'm sure your body will be singing it's praises after it stops torturing you!! Are you getting any bad withdrawal symptoms etc.?[DOUBLEPOST=1413203652][/DOUBLEPOST]

No... Not in the least. I'm drinking fruit juices, Ribena, lots of tea, eating chocolate, honey on my weetbix... There's still lots of places to get my sugar hit during the week...

I've lost 1.5kg though already...!

My coca cola habit that is.

For the past 17 years I've been drinking up to 2.5 litres of coke per week. No I don't weigh 200 kg either.... But I'm not as slim as I was 17 years ago aged 28 either. Anyway, last month when I had my bladder/kidney infection the doctor suggested that it came about because I was too dehydrated and probably had a high sugar load, so I poured the last bottle down the sink and haven't drunk it since. :)

That's not to say I won't ever have a coke again. But at least I'm not drinking it every single day anymore.

Btw... I weigh 90kg and I'm 6ft 1" so, quite within range...

I kicked my coke habit this year too. I had a total addiction and would have at least two a day. I decided to do a 100 day challenge of being coke free and that was back in April. I don't even miss it at all and feel a lot better not on it. Like you, I had bladder/kidney problems too. I went to America a few weeks ago and slipped up and had a coke one night but I actually hated the taste.

Seen orgasmo?
 
I just woke up from a sex dream with Skye and Aisha.... actually, it wasn't even sex. It was holding hands and jealousy. I just dreamt that I was in the Big Brother house. And I even questioned myself in the dream 'Hang on, I'm not in the Big Brother house (yet), am I?' Then I wondered how all you forum people were responding...

15+ months here with no soft drink at all. I went cold turkey after having many a day. Now to focus on other bad habits.

Oh wow! Boracay would've been heaven on Earth without the tourists.. It's still lovely now but yeah, not a quiet little paradise anymore. That would've been a special experience.

Yup first stepping of that plane to live there was definitely a culture shock.. I had a really late flight and my Dad/Stepmum picked me up and were like LOCK THE DOORS. Nothing quite says you're far, far from home than having your car doors knocked on at traffic lights at 2am by half naked kids that look barely 5. You do come back to Australia feeling incredibly lucky. I adore Manila in all of it's rawness. It's dirty, it's scary sometimes, and it smells but the people are gorgeous and I never really felt unsafe there.. Obviously personal safety and awareness had to be strong but it was common sense things - don't walk through squatter areas at night, don't stop the car for anyone and keep to well populated main roads. I learnt pretty quickly that dying my hair brown was a fairly good way of blending in a little more - the blonde hair, pale skin got a fair amount of hair pulls and "AMERICANA MISS BEAUTIFUL MARRY ME' kind of thing lol.

Worst experience was some man in a car go past me on my way to school only to reverse and he was pleasuring himself while looking at me... I don't think I have ever, EVER run so fast in my life.. Aside from that I miss it alot lol. My highschool BF is now a 'rockstar' and all of his uncles are famous actors.. I guess that's another confession haha!! (and I was a cheerleader.. Oh lord how embarrassing)

Oh it was so nice, it really was paradise. I'd love to return but I don't think I could handle the tourists, desperate obviously being one myself.

I guess not everyone likes Asia just as not everyone likes every region, but I really like Asian countries a lot. I've not lived there like you have but I have spent a lot of time in Asia growing up and parts of it are like a second home to me, my father has lived in China most of my life as well as other relatives around Asia so I'm well past the culture shock of it all.

Umm that car experience sounds horrifying though, yuck. I do however love that your boyfriend is now a rockstar, so funny. Oh and don't worry, I was briefly a cheerleader at uni.

He doesn't remember hearing anything . But when he woke he was totally confused. Was asking me if he had been in the paper because some reason he thought he has been shot

Wow that's interesting. I wonder why he thought he had been shot? Although I do understand the element of confusion. When I came out, it was like still being locked in my own head, so for 3 days, I was quite literally still talking to myself - in my head, thinking people could still not hear me, despite me at that point,being able to not only hear them but see them too! I was told all sorts of things relating to the accident.. which I had ZERO knowledge of even happening and I did freak when I looked down and saw a cage over my legs. Looking at that registered pain for the first time in a month.

Did the event, change his personality to you?

Nah he's always been an arse lol
 
Wow, @Noonah19

Made me recall stuff I forgot, from a long time ago.

I was about 11-12, when my older sister tried to kill herself at 15, intervention on my part stopped her - my even older, older sisters were(17 ) useless. Such vague memories, I have kind of wiped them, I know I called the ambulance. Parents were out.

And, at 18-19, part-time job, woman went psycho, and I have no idea how or why, again can't recall, but it was me at her house with a doctor getting her to self admit, trying to stop the stigma of being committed involuntarily.


And I have forgotten alcohol exists for more than 2 years. I used to like white wine and champagne.
Since I have moved the alcoholics in my life to the outer perimeters, I prefer coffee

Just after he was actually having a hard time. Was on a lot of medication and had to keep getting bloods checks and warfarin prescribed because he had a blood clot. Did u have a blood clot from being immobile so long?

No as I was placed in MIC due to "cause of death" being massive bloodloss from the accident. DOA at the hospital and bagged up for the Morgue. The warders taking me down heard shallow breathing and I was rushed back to A&E ( I had no knowledge of this having happened.I was told several months later) for resuscitation and at that time, blood transfusions. I have been a "bleeder" since so that was not an issue for me personally.
