I read the book today and ordered all the supplements. I am no stranger to nutrition, nutritional supplements, vitamin deficiences, and so forth. I am just new to admitting that I am an alcoholic after 15 years of putting myself to sleep with one and a half to 2 bottles of vintage wine (it has to be delicious) every single night. I could privately check in anywhere with what I pay for wine alone, but I don't like discussing my issues with "professionals" with pre-conceived notions. Here is my BIG question:
Who has had success and what is the success level of becoming AF or a "social drinker" without the use of Topamax? I have some severe nerve damage issues that have been treated with Neurontin and Lyrica. I had terrible reactions with no relief for the pain. Topamax is just another drug in that category and I do not want to go down that road again!!! My neurologists even recommended wine for the pain. UGH.
I am hoping the Kudzu supplement and L-Glut with Mg and B's will do it for me. However, I would like some frank responses regarding the necessity of Topamax. I am not looking for pain relief, just freedom from a wine cellar and a decreasing interest in life. I have no children and no family. However, I do have a healthy habit of training working dogs and physically train myself every day. My wine consumption does not intefere with this and I have never suffered any negative consequences from my wine consumption. Unless you include being a social recluse a consequence -- but I have always been a social recluse.
Please weigh in on the benefits of Topamax for success vs. the holistic way. Rhonda's book made me feel like I would fail without it.
Thank you all in advance. If I sound like an idiot, I just started my second bottle of Sauvingon Blanc to put me to sleep. I cannot take Melatonin as it causes disastrous sleepwalking for me... take it to sleep stone cold sober and wake up questioning the police outside my home... Melatonin is a disaster drug for me!
