    just sayin hi

    hey guys. hows is everyone? i ordered my antabuse so it will be here in about two weeks. im doing well though. i had a bad night about three weeks ago, and ever since then i have not gotten drunk. ive been out to bars and parties with my bf, and i got the most very buzzed. but definitely not drunk. yesterday my bf was drinking coronas and i easily didnt have one. I'm not sure why. i was very upset about that drunk night three weeks ago which is why i ordered the antabuse. but right now im good. its strange in a way. my bf and i went to an italian place that i ate and drank wine at, and I felt depressed for a few hours after. yesterday i didnt care to have a Corona. i just thought of the down feeling i had after the wine and its probably a temporary weird stage I'm in, but I've been associating the drinking with the sad, boredness-instead of the happy buzz i usually crave. so its been three weeks since a drunk night. im glad. i keep thinking of all these other things that make me happy-tennis, painting, guitar. my few best talents. last night i took a long walk with my friend who lives by the beach. we sat and talked, walked on the boardwalk, and I realized that there are so many other constructive things to do that make a person happy rather than drinking. drinking i know worsens my depression. Im almost sure this wont last. But who knows. I haven't been taking the glutamine or Kudzu, but I take l-tyrosene for depression. i was wondering if maybe that has something to do with me not having a problem the past few weeks. I looked it up and didnt find any information on Tyrosene heping alcohol. I do know though, that yesterday when I didnt crave alcohol, i was in a happy content mood. So that also helped, because I wasnt looking for something to help my boredness/sadness. Ok, good luck guys.

    Hi me145,
    Glad to hear you`re doing well. Looks like the drink is losing much of its allure for you, and like you say, there`s a million and one enjoyable things we can do that don`t involve drink.

    Wishing you continued progress.

    Much love,

        I need support

        I had been doing well moderating for a few weeks. Started the Naltrexone, taking the supps, but the last three nights I have drank too much. I feel horrible today. I hate being hung over. It hurts so bad, inside and out. I feel guilty and ashamed and scared to death that I will never be able to overcome this beast. I too have many hobbies that should occupy my time - but the bottle seems to take over and I hate not being able to control it. I pray for the strength to just quit forever, but I don't know.

          Hi Gourmet,

          Start your own thread. You will get a lot more personal replies and support that way. I hope you are feeling better.

            Gourmet.. SOunds like you are where so many of us are.. where the drunk just isn't fun anymore... That is a GOOD THING! That is the stage we all strive tol leave behind us. Sounds like you are headed in the right direction. I am very happy for you. Picturing you walking on the boardwalk thinking those peaceful thoughts made me smile..

            Namste,

              Colleen, you are doing great. It is amazing all the time you spend doing things when you are sober compaired to being drunk. I was astounded at all the "stuff" I have to take care of now. It is great to be able to take care of business and not be impaired for a change.

              Keep up the good work

                  me145, that was a very uplifting post. I hope you continue in that direction. You sound much more peaceful now than in earlier posts. gourmet, you did start another thread, and that was good. I hope we can all help you. I feel so much for you. Bear, what's with the picture?... is that the message you want to give about yourself? (just kidding, LOL)
                  Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

                    Boy drinking sure does increase depression. Stick with it, using whatever positive and negative motivators you can summon up.

                    It's good to hear you doing well!
