Hi Nattie.

I really needed to chat last evening and didn't have the courage to sit down at the machine and get on the website. I've been reading the posts for a few weeks now, and am feeling more comfortable all the time, but this is my first post. So thanks for the invitation!

I used to drink wine every day, this has been going on for about 23 years now, since I moved from city to country life. And I know it's affecting me. My marriage split up, in part, because of alcohol, and I used to go to AlAnon. So I know the 12 Steps, and I know it's not for me.

It was such a blessing to find this web site! Anyway, I joined for 3 months, got the vitamins and the Kudzu (sp?), and have been popping healthy pills for about a month now. Suddenly (it felt sudden), last week, my craving for alcohol diminished. It's not gone, but it's usually manageable.

Yesterday was a bad day...but I learned something. I drink to excess when I feel badly about myself. When I'm blue, I want a glass of wine in my hand until I can fall asleep and let the pain go away. That's when I thought of getting on line. It was a choice like this...on line...liquor store...on line...liquor store. The store won yesterday, but here I am on line today!

Hope you are doing OK.

You are so welcome here. I had a similar experience-- move from city life to country life accompanied by escalation of alcohol intake. Not an excuse, but part of the explanation. However, back in city life again and things just got worse. At some point it has to be stopped.

Glad to hear the cravings are getting better. It will help your will power alot. Keep coming here, too, it is a great place for support and a good diversion from the cravings.

Hello Everyone,

I'm much better this morning, woke up @ 4:30 and played tape #2 (my favourite at this time). My plan is to use the hypnotic tapes to give myself some powerfully good, strong, self supporting messages. It's 9 am, and I'm feeling good about the day, even though it is cold and drizzly outside.

I'm cleaning house, rearranging books, trying to take care of myself inside and outside...and today is a great day for it!

Hope everyone has a wonderful experience today.

Heloise
