I'm going to try again!!

[buddha27]

Hey everyone,

The first thought that I had when I woke up this morning was; I have a new support group (here),now is as good a time as any to try again. I did not receive the MWO book yet but I would like a list of the supplements I need to get started. I am going to dip my feet in the shallow end (thank you irishlady) and go buy the supplements after work instead of beer. I cleaned up all the empty bottles and made sure I had some pills to keep me calm. I think I am ready

Thanks
Buddha27

Go for it, Buddha! If you can get hold of some kudzu (good quality) and some l-glutamine for starters that will really help. You can take up to 3000 mg. each daily in three doses. Don't take wimpy little doses and then wonder why it isn't helping!

Good luck!

I'm going to try again!!

Yeah

I did want to add, that you should "GO FOR IT", I a going to keep on trying and I KNOW eventually I will get this thing under control, had a few beers last night but as upset as I was I did pretty well, normally probably wouldn't have been able to get out of bed, but got up at 5:30 and actually did a load of laundry!!!:H

Good jobe Buddha, keep on trying:goodjob:

You are loved!!!:h

What was upseting you?

Hey Cowgirl,

What was upseting you last night? I had a shitty day too. We should have got together in a chat room. I haven't tried the chat rooms yet. I'm new to the forum thing.........I like it a lot !!

Hey Everyone, I too had a few beers last night and regret it today....not too many not to function and enjoy the beautiful day we are having here. By the way buddha27 I am in your neighborhood (CNY) and it is comforting to know you are close. I think my dose of Kudzu and L-Glut has been wimpy and I should knock it up a bit. Thanks for the advice. Still waiting for the Topa delivery and hear it is in the mail.....hahaha. I think I am going to go for it. Since I have tried this program (without it), I have had a few slips, and this might be the ticket to nip it in the bud. Have you or will you try the topa? Cowgirl....I think I will go do a load of laundry....havin fun now.....

Buddha -- for many of us who have a good deal of AF under our belts would also like you to know it didn't happen right off the bat.

For me, I started my 30 days at the beginning of December last year and made it for 21 days. Christmas came along and hubby came home from working out of town for 3 months. He brought home a bunch of alcohol and whalla.... drank pretty much through out the holiday season. I didn't drink Christmas Eve or Day only because I didn't want my kids to 'miss out' on what it was all about.

Then on December 29th I decided to give another 30 days a shot. Made it until the first week of May. I had 3 glasses of red wine. (celebrating my family re-connecting and living in the same city) Knocked me on my ass and from that I had a hang over. So back to abs I went.

Then sometime in June, I had a few beers one night. I had 5 - light beers. I was feeling pretty 'flighty' and woke again with a hangover.

Then in July I was having a great ordeal of stress at work and wanted to quit. My boss was harassing me, making me feel bad about putting in my notice.... calling me at home, etc.. etc... I used this as an excuse one morning - and yes, morning to finish off the 3 ciders my husband had in the fridge. To 'fog' out the so-called guilt that was instilled upon me. My anxiety attacks were so bad from this situation.... no excuse to drink, but I did.

So.............. 11 drinks in 10 months is my story. I use to nearly drink a 26er of Vodka a day, daily when I could before I came here.

I am now committed to ABs all the way, but I wanted you to know that however 'easy' it may look reading some of our posts, the truth be told it is very RARE for someone to jump in with both feet and succeed. To those who have - wow I believe they have great determination.

We all have had our good intentions with the 'I am quitting today' thoughts. Most of us go a few days and fall. What really matters is you pick yourself up and try again. As time goes on you will find the strength to go that much farther, and if anything go AF for however long you choose. (Depending on your goals!)

You have a great attitude. With that and the support you find here, I have no doubt in my mind you will reach your goals!

1st time AF with MWO

Hello Accountable for Me,

I have quit a few times before. The detox center saved my life the first time, but I did failed that time and a few more after that. I really hope I am victorious this time or even the next with this program and your help.

Thank you for the support:h

You can and will do this.

I wanted to share my story only because I think some of the newer people may think for some of us; it was easy. I have been reading through some other posts, including my own over the last couple of days. Although I think it is great we share our successes; I think it may be helpful to include some of our struggles we have had along the way.

Hello again Accountable for Me,

The post I read on here are what makes me think I have a good shot at it this time. Sharing the ups and down are very important. This site is a life saver as well as the people on it. I enjoy reading what everyone has to say. Everyone sould feel free to tell me what they think will help and I will do the same.

Hi buddha,
What AFM has said is so very true of many of our stories.........lots of us had numerous false starts before we managed to quit. If you keep trying, you cannot fail.

Sending you loads of love and strength to get through this day as your 1st of many AF.
