James - I had to train a client around this time so I didn't have access to the blender I would normally use. Instead I put the dry ingredients into a zip 3D Motion lock bag and the other ingredients into the shaker and a plastic container. Because I didn't have the blender I actually ate most of this 'shake' and drank the rest of it. Energy levels are just like normal, it's just the abundance of time that seems to be an issue!
Instead of waltzing 3d motion multi directional over to the bar to mix a pick me up I would usually find myself shaking and puking the first thing in the morning. I would then stumble to the kitchen and mix up a drink, and then gag and puke until some of the alcohol would hold. After a couple drinks I was usually well enough to start the day.
Keep shaking for a count of approximately 20 seconds. Hold the metal part of the shaker in your hand and tap the side where you estimate the glass rim sits. This will break the seal between the glass half and the metal half, allowing you to open the shaker. If the shaker can't be opened, don't panic. Turn the shaker one quarter turn and repeat the tapping process.
Reduce the heat inside your home. Keeping the temperature too warm causes the air to dry out, which is as bad for your breathing as it is for your skin. Plus, you're more likely to be lethargic in a room that's too warm. If you're slightly chilled reach for a sweater instead drinks rotational of the thermostat.
Robin and the Seven Hoods. (1964) Ocean's Eleven is the most famous rat pack movie and probably the worst. Much better is this stylish retelling of the Robin Hood legend. This movie mostly took place in prohibition era Chicago speakeasies, where the hard drinking, crooning and partying band of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr and Bing Crosby take on the evil sheriff and Guy Gisborne (Peter Falk). The band sign, swap zingers and spend most of their time downing anything they can brew up.
My recovery has taken me down some magnificent roads, and I have accomplished quite a bit of internal work thus far. If you're a twelve stepper (something I never was), I cannot stress how important your family of origin work is. It is there, deep within the repressed recesses of childhood where many important answers lie as to who and what you are or what you have become. Only by dealing with the underlying reasons why you are dependent on any form of substance will you actually become free from using them. I wish you well on your journey.
