    Starting a AF or AL thread now !

    Hey Dix...glad you found a site for family support too. And thanks for continuing to mention meditation--you really are inspiring me to give it a go more. I know 55 days is a special number to you and have no doubts you will be celebrating it with your lust for sobriety and a healthy life. Good job!
    Psalms 119:45

      Thanks a lot RC,
      you are giving me a tonic to raise my self esteem.
      Now my concern is to tackle the rapid mood swings and concentration memory back.
      As a food supplement expert could you please advise which foods help to get memory back.sobriety may not be a problem for me now.
      Cheers!

        Not an expert by any means Dix. Have and done a fair bit of experience and "personal" research. I suspect your stress is still affecting your memory and if you are under 50 why don't you add a good Siberian Ginseng to your regime for now. Let me know how that goes.

            Hi Dix

            Congrats on all your AF days - I hope to be where you're at in the near future.

            Some people swear by gingko biloba for memory and concentration. I tried it briefly, not sure that it did anything for me, but everyone reacts differently.

                56 days AF..

                Hi all,

                I have now marked 55 days already and today done my 56 as well.
                Actually I have known that the detox is the only way out to be remain AF for long time.As far I know, the water, friuts and vegetable are the better way to detox our body.You drink a lot of fluids either you like or not and never allow your stomach seeking somthing to fulfill it is the only way not to gain weight but keeping stomach fulfilled.Detoxing juices like tomatto,orange,bottleguard,bitterguard,ladyfingers ,spinach,Kiwi or try any bitter things etc. are very important to take in if you cant eat raw fruits and vegetable.Its better to make a fresh juice from any green vegetables rather than buying juices from supermarkets.If you dont like them just close your eyes drink until your stomach is filled.This is the way you dont have any craving for AL...Very natural way to remain AF...
                Actually I managed my AF without and detoxing chemicals and got my liver back within 50 days doctor also felt something miracle that I have done.Everythings are under control and normal now.
                Its really simple men.
                Just drink drink and drink...like alcohol.

                    Dixon,

                    Congrats of your achievements! I think it takes a while for the brain to properly heal. Also depends on how heavy and how long you have been drinking. I think it's called the brain fog. Give it some time. Keep up with the fruits and veggies. Don't forget about mega B Vitamins. Also, try Holy Basil. See all the other vitamin recommendations under the Tools thread. Listen to your body. While it's important to detox, make sure you are getting enough calories, proteins, carbs, iron, etc.
                    I will be sober so I can be clear and remember being a mommy and so I can be in the best place God wants to place me. I will be here! now! FREE! 12.5mg Topamax AM&PM, Ativan until safe from withdrawal syndrome & for anxiety. Thank God I Am Done!

                      Oh Rainy,

                      I am really looking for a method to keep me fit and energetic without eating any fatty foods.I dont want to gain my weight which I lost 5 kg in my detoxing period so want be energetic at all the times but no, no, no and no fat please !
                      Your idea to go with vitamin B complex ,iron etc are exclusively good ideas which are immune friendly.But do you have any idea if they increase fat or not ?
                      I want to eat lees but time to time and not fatty one.I am taking soya related milk, jiuce and beans itself and other nuts for specially to have protien.Oh yes , I sleep a lot may be cause of less intake of calories !!!!
                      Cheers,

                        And Rainy,

                        Body is aching when sleeping and asks more sleep !!! I was thinking less calories but afraid of weight gain.
                        Lots of sleep may be around 16 hours a day if I get a bit of off time.

                        Thanks:thanks:

                              57 days ...

                              Hi all ,

                              I am cool now and made 57 days .
                              I have no craving for AL and now focused on depression.I have been abusing my brain for almost 1 decade with depression pills and alcohol both at a time .So no idea how much the brain has been damaged.I forget things very easily which have less important to run the day to day life.My mind was like a 50% of tape recorder 20 years back and now always roams to regret past.
                              I think I will be back to normal if I manage to remain AF.I am forty years old now...
                              Any comments are welcome !
