Thanks so very much. Will get cracking on that book once I get to the end of my "to do" list!

I am very moved and humbled by your support and extremely appreciative of the many excellent ideas.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

(Oh, blog is www.mywayout.org/blog). Go to the bottom of any entry and you'll see a "comments" link. You need to enter a user ID and email address the first time. Your email address will not show. I'm still trying to set it up so I don't have to approve messages; at this point I am emailed with a notice that messages are in the queue.)

AYE-- Mates. I do not feel like much of a success story. But I know I have benefited immensely and I love to write, so I would be very happy to write an essay or whatever. Count me in. Wonder if we could have themes / guidelines -- like real personal, emotional or more along change in drinking habits, lifestyle, weight. Well when the time comes. RJ will tell us. Cool.

RJ- Just a thought...but have you considered doing an audio version of your book? You would simply have to read it aloud at a recording studio, and then you could sell it on the website on CD's. I think many of the people on the site would like to own a copy of you reading the book. I, for one, would find it very useful and reassuring to have it to refer to from time to time! - Brian

re: big favor

hi RJ
i dont know if this is even feasible but since we are really plugging TOPAMAX here why not try and do a deal with some of the bigger manufacturers sort of along the lines of they advertise their product and include you in the ad this could be in women and men health mags,tv commercials,free handout type magazines like common ground, etc.
just a thot or maybe even OPRAH

Hi:
I ran across the MWO site by accident after visiting AA online. They respond immediately, by the way. It's almost scary how fervent they are about helping. That is why I cannot go to a real meeting. This is way too private. For me, and apparently quite a few others. In May I told my internist that I was worried about my consumption. My father (a creep) had just died, and my siblings and I were drinking way too much to his memory. To tell my doctor for a person like me means major desperation. There's a joke (sort of) about this. "What is alcohol abuse?" "More than your doctor drinks." And lots of doctors drink and abuse drugs lots. I don't know about mine, but he was non-judgemental and said if I couldn't keep to 7 6oz. glasses of wine or the equivalent per week, perhaps I should think about abstaining. Had I thought about AA? I told him it had a 93% recidivism rate. That's when I ran across MWO. I've passed the word onto him and two other trusted doctor friends who have been quite enthusiastic (possibly will try it themselves?--I don't ask). So, I'll keep slowly, cautiously, but privately passing the word. Thanks RJ.

RJ,
Since we are throwing out some $$ ideas here. I would purchase some new Hypno CD's in a second. I love the ones I have, but I had them since February and they're getting just a wee bit bland.

I sent a message today about this program (with web address) to a radio personality where I live. I did so because I was compelled to let this person that there is a real program out there that can help one to drink in moderation if they choose to not quit completly (noting that this may not work for everyone). If this person chooses to try the program and likes it, could be a good thing from an advertising stand point. Have know idea how they will respond though. Will stay with it and see what happens.

Thanks for some great ideas for ways we can support this site, RJ. The brainstorming here is GREAT!

I am an avid reader, and put a lot of stock in the reviews on Amazon.com, though I’ve never thought to post a review of my own. I’m going to write a thoughtful review for your book asap!

I would love to be a part of Book 2, but I don’t consider myself a success story YET. It’s only week 3… And I feel FANTASTIC!

Thanks again, RJ!

Oprah?

Someone mentioned contacting Oprah? I think that is such a good idea. I think that happened also before I came on board - in the archives somewhere? Does anyone know the story/history there?.

RJ,
Would you consider having someway to make a donation on a voluntary basis? I am from the belief that if I am blessed, than I would like to bless in return. Some of us may be in a position to help financially and would like to do so. In addition to buying your products. If you would give this some thought. Maybe have a forum where a contribution could be given via paypal or something of that nature. I dont know, just thinking out loud. If it would go towards keeping this board running, and promoting the work that you are doing I would be honored to give.

Much respect.

Sydney
