    The Journey is here...Get your ass in gear !

    Trap - The Topa isn't magic. Sorry. :l You should start feeling some effect from the Topa in the next few days. It does take a bit. There's a good thread under the Topamax, Campral, Naltrexone, Baclofen and other Meds forum -

    New Here and Starting Topa with a Question

    Also, the chat is at the bottom of the main page. You will see the list of users online and underneath that is the list of Users using chat. Usually by about 5:00 or 6:00 my time (Pacific time) there are people starting to go in there. I hope to see you there.

      Actually, Trap, at the top of the page , where you see 'Welcome Trapped Dad', look just below for several options. one of them is Live chat. When it opens, choose public chat. Then people in the room will guide you through how things work.
      Don't expect things to fast, or a magic bullet. This didn't happen overnight, and it doesn't end overnight. Try to put at least an hour between your drinks tonight, after you finish, before you start another. It begins to give you some control. This is doable, just takes practice. There is no judgement here.

        Trapped you must have Java to access chat. Some people including myself at first don't realize why they can't "get in".

        Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

            Good for you for staying here & posting!!! Ruby had a good suggestion - slow down between drinks. Did your Dr give you anything for anxiety during this time?

            I will be leaving work soon & I will jump in chat when I get home. I can't access it from here. Hang on! You will feel so much better.

                the other med is Atavan. my doctor gave it to me to "ween" off of AL and avoid withdrawl. it doesn't work for me. I took six the first night and still didn't sleep. i am in a deep place right now and don't know how to pull myself out of it. my 4 yr old, Trevor, keeps asking why i am crying and i can't explain it to him. i need to pull this together so that i can read him his bedtime story. i don't know why i keep typing but it seems the only outlet i have right now. so many people in my life depend on me and have no idea what i am going through. i am usually not transparent as this, i just can't seem to stop typing.

                thank you to all who understand, and to those who don't, i pray that you never have to undergoe this tourment.

                    ok...redbull...i found one in the fridge. my brother was here a few weeks ago for his birthday and he likes vokda and redbull. NoraC, you said to keep typing so here i am...typing...and drinking this redbull from the fridge...

                    ...not sure why, maybe to wake up, maybe to feel normal for a while, maybe to make an excuse (and engery) to have another drink... i don't know exactly, but one thing i am sure of, this stuff taste's awefull.

                    EST time sucks right now. i wish the chat started sooner...

                        And Trap, a lot is habit, the time, the day being over, etc. etc. Gradually you will learn what pushes your buttons. Right now, try to get through one hour. And be glad for that. Don't expect too much from yourself at first. That sets you up for disappoint, and then a 'what the hell' attitude. You don't have to save the world tonight.

                          well trap like its been said .. might be time to really think about being honest with all the cards on the table ... ask for your wifes help and sit down and talk honestly ...and watch you might just be surprise that she is very understanding about it all ..most men think they are just too proud to ask for help and shows weakness but really when you open up to her and yourself you will learn alot more of yourself and her as a whole family ... juast think about it buddy and start to think of ways to change your habits and thing that you have been putting off or never had the time for ...just some way to stay busy ..
                          :beach: life does change as long as you are willing to change yourself ..
                          best thing about the future it comes one day at a time..

                            Yeah Trap. Its gonna take some time. Do alot of reading and try everything. I used to just try to skip 1 day at first or even just start drinking a bit later. After awhile I could get more time in. Finally ended up taking antabuse to get a few months in. You will feel so crazy sometimes. It is scary to think of being sober but then when you get through it its not bad at all....keep with us...b

                              Hi everybody - I am home from work - Hi Trap and a huge welcome to you. I am on Topa and hate to tell you but it does take a while to have some effect - I do feel for you but you have come to the right place. The beginning of the journey is hard - I won't pretend it isn't! Why do you have to hide it from your wife? what exactly is it that you are hiding - she must know about your drinking? Do you not want her to know about your trying to stop? I did stop with the Topa for 8 months then had a stupid stupid slip (stopped the Topa too soon and thought I could have 'just one' drink - memo to self - I CAN'T), but am taking it again now - just had one drink last night, and am heading towards being AF again. you can do this and we are all here to help you.

                              Everyone else - hi there. Hope you all had a good day! Mine was long - saw the doc, got my prescription for more Topa. My doc is so nice. Back later,

                              hugs, Sun xxx
                              How simple it is to see that we can only be happy now and there will never be a time when it is not now....
