Here I am! I have more than survived. I've sailed through without even a thought of drinking. I just have too much fun stuff to do. The best day of my life was stumbling (literally) onto MWO and finding all of you. Four months! That's all the toime it has taken me to get to this point. I love you all so much and hope you all got through the holidays ok.

Yep! It was late August. I've been AF since 4th December and not even a thought of drinking. It's amazing. I feel 'safe' for the first time in my adult life. Three cheers for Baclofen!!!

Mish, that's fantastic! I'm thrilled t:goodjob:

I'm starting "SMART" recovery next week. I have contacted an addiction counselor who leads meetings in my area. I am constructing my plan now.

[mama bear]

Meet Me At Dos Gatos

I am so happy for both of you. Bac kicked my ass with high blood pressure, so I quit taking it. Anatabuse and determination are my friends now. I have not been taking the anty for a few weeks as I take enough other meds, and so far, so good.
WE CAN DO THIS...
Fen Fen....I am always here for you baby

Fen, an addiction counsellor is a great idea. Our "Fresh Start Recovery Programme" has great counsellors who are right on the cutting edge of treatiment, and hopefully your programme will offer you the same support. Have you tried Baclofen? It has taken all the struggle and effort out of sobriety and given me a complete disinterest in alcohol in any shape or form. I couldn't have imagined such a great result, and have never felt like this. The drinking thinking is gone from my life and I have only positive thoughts.
Mama, it is a pity you had adverse effects on Baclofen, but I'm thrilled to hear how well you are doing anyway. You go, girl.

I've never tried Baclofen. I was afraid of side effects and I'd already had a negative experience with topa. Plus, my GP has no idea whats up with me. I had thirteen years of continual sobriety the first time I quit (@ 22)...I know that if I really want this, I can get that "me" back. I've put any notions of moderating to rest, finally. I'm simply not capable of it.

One thing I like about SMART is that meetings are facilitated by mental health counselors or lay people who've been specially trained.
