Just wanted to share this as some aspect of this site that have really helped me to understand the ?physical? side of this process.
Basically, this woman started to investigate the physical aspect of alcoholism after her 18 year old son committed suicide when he had completed a 3 month stint in rehab. Everything seemed to be looking up for him and then ?. She struggled to understand what happened to him and this started her on this journey
Two points that have really struck home are:-
Depression ? coming off the ADs I have been supported by a herbalist and have been taking numerous supplements. I?m feeling almost normal ? whatever that is.
The program I have been following is so similar to this and I am heartened to know that it is a legitimate tool to fighting this cycle.
Hypoglycaemia ? I have been getting a physical craving for AL between 3-4pm. Strange as this has never been my drinking time. Rather than just surviving every minute of this ?itch? and waiting / hoping that it will pass, I am now eating. I can not begin to explain the difference!! Generally, I am having 5 small meals a day, but when the craving hits I will drop everything and eat (even if it?s just fruit & yoghurt). When this craving has gone, then I am free to live, even forgetting at times, AF.
I truly hope that some can get a ?click? from this site. I don?t have the book & am not doing the program ? I just found some of this information very useful.
Take care
