    GLA

    hey guys.. i was reading a book that someone suggestd here on my way out.. i think its called "7 weeks to sobriety". It talks all about the way many alcoholics are deficient in efa's, and many other nutrtional deficidences and supplements to take to help them.. it mentioned a page on this essential fatty acid called GLA.. it said that it helps with both the depression from alcoholism and helped people in studies to not drink as much.. so i ve been taking it and was pretty amazed at how it seemed to help. like when i went out with friends to bars, i just knew i had to keep it in control... when normaly i know that i have to keep it in control but then dont.. end up getting silly sloppy drunk. anyone know about this supplement anyway? or try it?

    GLA

    hi me it's an essential fatty acid that comes from evening primrose. omega 3 is also very very important, if you are not taking it you should try. It really has stabilized my moods.

        I couldn't take the Omega 3's because they caused me to bruise terribly. They thin the blood and cannot be taken prior to surgery for that reason. I wonder if the GLA thins the blood?

          I find that GLA really helps as long as my moderation is very moderate. If one over does it with the drinking while on GLA the GLA doesn't do any good. There is no way to supplement enough to make up for overdrinking really, but it does help alot with truely moderate drinking.

          I classify truely moderate drinking as being in between 8-12 standard drinks a week with 3 or 4 Af days a week. For right now I am keeping it to 8 standard drinks a week as I am just starting out after 39 days Af.
