    just need to talk

    I read here regularly and it has given me some inspiration in my struggle with alcohol. I have not registered because I m so private about my struggle. I agree that the last few weeks have been very petty and makes one want to not even bother here...but I need something and I am not willing t o do anything else yet. I see a good therapist who says that I need treatment, but I am not willing to do that at this point. My husband of 28 years left me.. I have 3 incredible daughters... and there was way more to the loss of my marriage thatn my alcolhol use. But none the less, it is a major problem is my life. A nd I am so afriaid to give it up. I feel like I I take the topamax but drinkt hrough it.
    Anyway, I am lost . Desperate - but not willing to leave the only friend I've ever been able to count on.
    i guess I am reacing out in a covert way -afraid of being too direct. Still protecgting myself.

      Maybe with the program & moderation, clearing your head & body it would help. What's great about this program is you really don't have to stop drinking.

        Supposedly that's the beauty of this program, it can teach you how to drink in moderation. At least thats what I'm hoping for.....hang in there...

          I too was very private about my drinking ( a clauset drinker for 25+yrs) which is why AA would never have worked for me. There is still a lot I can't share but I don't think we have to tell all for this site to help. You could even become a member before starting the program. You would get a lot of encouragement and support from fellow members to get on board in the program before you suffer any more losses, ie, your health, your life, etc, which is where I was headed. Don't let your drinking continue to control you and your life, you take control of them both. This is the place where you can learn to do that. Come on and join us, you won't be sorry, I haven't been.

            just need to talk

            I've been reading so many posts over the last week. I rarely post, but feel compelled to reply to you. I too am surprised my husband hasn't left. But, he hasn't. I'm sorry to hear of your circumstances. You seem to have great children - I have two beautiful girls (18 and 17 years). They watch me each night decline into a blithering mess, as does my husband (when he's home)!

            I have to say that I bought RJ's book online, bought the supplements and the CDs (however the depth of hypno frightens me). I cannot get Topamax in Australia so am doing things piecemeal. I can report that even just taking the supplements may adjust some chemicals in the brain and reduce the desire to drink. Have you considered buying the book (I think it costs about $12) and then you can assess the program yourself? It's a worthwhile investment and may be the thing for you right now. From reading everyone's comments on the boards, it appears the medication TOPAMAX, may be the key, though.

            Take care
