I don't post very often but today is kind of special for me. It was one year ago today that I started MWO! And I can tell you that I am so happy with myself a year later. My husband and I were just discussing the changes the other night. It is really the first time that he has said anything about noticing how different I seem. It isn't as though I haven't had my share of f--- ups! But the difference this time is that I was able to assess the situation the following day and start back on my program; learn from my mistake. I would say that I've had about 350 days of waking up hang over free in 2005! I never thought I could drink in moderation but it seems to be working. I still take my suppliments daily. Since I continue to drink, I take all of the detoxification supps. I've switched from the All One to the Amino Acids offered in the MWO health store. They are really great and don't upset my stomach like the All One. I still take the Topamax everyday. I take about 200 mg a day and I can definately tell if I miss a day taking them. I listen to my CDs periodically, the subliminal nightly. I especially try and take advantage of the "self hypnosis" that James teaches during one of his sessions. It is a powerful tool as he suggests, but I don't have the concentration to use it just anywhere, unfortunately. But I think that the main thing I feel better about is that even though I still have bouts of depression I no longer try to resolve them in a bottle or two of wine. I'm just depressed! Which is still no fun, but it's better than with a hang over, feeling like a failure and adding to my reasons for being depressed in the first place! Anyway, I realize that this is still only ONE year. There is a life time that I must be aware of. So best of luck to you all. Sounds like most of you are well on your way and will be posting your anniversary soon.
Warm wishes,
Donna M.
