Carla,

Lou has had to attend those meetings - reffered by her doctor - is it some kind of sick joke.. She has had to now try and seek the correct help she needs out of her area because, no-one seems to want to help.

Why don't they just set up Mental Institutions again like in the Victorian times, and chuck us all in there - It's pretty much tantamount to what they are doing now.
Ignore us, and hope the problem will go away.

I hope you get something sorted

sending lots of hugs...:l

Carla,

I suppose I said that because of of your weight loss, and that everyone is attributing it to your going to the fitness club when you really just aren't eating, and drinking a lot. I've lost quite a bit of weight being on the topa because it helped me cut back on my drinking and it also suppressed my appetite. Some people don't experience tat side effect but I did.

When people at work would ask me how I was losing all the weight I would say I was just eating better and trying to be more health conscious which to some degree was the truth but it was really about the lack of booze and not eating as much!!!

Camper,
That isn't ' to some degree' . That is the truth. You are eating better, and cutting back on the booze so obviously that is more health conscious.

So it's working.... and so may it remain.

Hoorah for you xxxxxx

Perhaps you didn't read my last posts into details. I once weighed 60 kilos, since alcoholing and smoking too much I rarely eat and gone dowm to 50 - I hate it. Today for example, had only a glass of milk besides the tablets. I hate it, I wish I could eat again coz I was accustomed to good food all along. I twice asked my doc to even prescribe appetiting tabs for me, she offered me for the first time tablets, but almost eight capsels that would ease whatever stomach probs I may be enduring. Just realized they are as helpful for kids under 12 years of age. Disgusting. If I'll ever reach out a site that demands to know of existing bad doctors, she will be the first one I'll quote.

But I have you, so why not go on make history? Hugs. Carla

Hi all, I'm new to this, and found this site quite by accident while googling for "AA".
I feel so good about myself and my life when I abstain from drinking. But when I
go on a binge, I hate myself and can't even look in the mirror. I need help. I called
my Doctor this morning and he prescribed Topamax, so I'll go pick it up in a while.
Where can I download the book? I don't know where the blog is.
Thanks for your help. Jody

Contributed the 2nd time at the chat room, thought it would help, the worst place ever in this community - my honest thought. Was there yesterday, patient, today again, it has it's audience - WARNING NEW BEGINNER!!! NO GO PLACE, just talking like one of you..... I always believed I was strong, but in the chat room BE AWARE to meet profis.......good luck....honestly, don't go there or just go and play the audience...Hugs, Carla

Carla so sorry about chat, I am speechless myself, I am not going to name names but someone wasn't quite themselves today and just made it unpleasant for all. Carla it really isn't normally like that. I am sorry if I lost my temper in there as well. Again so sorry Carla you really didn't deserve that.

chat today

I have never been one to stir up much of any controversy, but was confronted and attacked by much criticism for speaking my mind which I thought we were free to do so on chat. I in no way thought i expressed anything that hasn't been heard before. Just personal gripes that have come to a head in my mind about my own individual program and the program offered here. I felt like those who were in chat were trying to promote an "infomercial" on something they had no knowledge or success at selling. I was beaten down for trying to discuss feeling from the heart....how this program is working for most but not all. Didn't realize I was "viloating" board policy by expressing personal views. Guess i am "fired" for having an opinion that differs from embracing MWO 100%. Never realized chat had to be an environment of "political correctness" when newcomers came to enter. I personally think newcomers need to read up on the program. I did apologize to the newcomers whom I may have offended, and directed them to the wealth of info present on this site. Thought I had trusted friends I could vent with on a "not so great day", but obviously I was wrong. I was told that when I tried to leave a month ago (by Lucky) that the only reason I stayed was because everyone posted and "kissed my butt". What a friend?! That is sorely lacking here. Trust! Sure lost a lot of trust and so-called friends today. Thank goodness for the two friends I have formed trusting relationships with who I will continue to contact on my journey. I do not want a response to this...as I refuse to come back and have people say things like "Lucky" and "Happy????Camper". There was NEVER once a question in chat as to "how I was doing..or what was happening" whick I would immediately think of asking. No...fangs and barbs were out. Keep living in your sick and fantasy life you two. Good luck and good riddance!! Gina

I have no intention of taking that one back. Know a "true friend" form a gossiping hyena.

Hi Carla - thanks. I just went to Albertsons & picked up my Rx for topamax; and I took
my first pill there at the store.

I wasn't going to come back to this site, because I initially went into the chat room. Whew.
It's certainly not a very nurturing environment! I think I will stick to this type of communication.

Anyway, how long does it take for the Topamax to take effect? Will I notice it immediately?

Thanks for your help!
