hi an thanks 2 all who have been so kind,

i had 8 viles a blood taken, 3 came back, with high readings, suggesting my liver is not processing alcohol, properly, large blood cells or something,

wish i could be clearer but i dont really, know, i saw a different dr , a not very helpful 1 at that so again, im waiting,

i am booked in with the drug an alcohol team, just waiting 4 appointment, i guess they will explain in detail, the dr said in 5 yrs my liver will be ruined if i do not stop now, so that takes me to 33, i know what i got to do, he has give me no magic pills not untill i seen the team, an they have seen my bf, as he is going to have to be responsible for administering the tablets, an watch me,

well thats all i know at mo, so im going to start the moderating again, more sucessfully this time i hope, untill i see some1 who can explain what is goin on inside me, an sort it out, love to all , hope every 1 is doin well xxxx

Hi Rachel,
Do you know how long you have to wait to see the drug and alcohol team? Hope it's not too long as time is of the essence here.
How do you feel? I suppose you already knew your liver would be battered.
My only advice is to drink very small amounts to stop the shakes and hope your appointment comes through pretty sharpish!
I'm on day 13 AF today and am feeling ok.

Rachel, I'm so sorry you weren't able to get anything right away but glad to hear they have referred you to a team and that your bf is going to be involved so he will know how serious it is and support you in not having booze in the house when the time comes. Can you get kudzu and L-glutamine to help you cut down until you can see the team? Hang in there.

Hi mate,

I haven't mentioned something thats been helping me for a while, guided meditiation cd's. A bit like the hypno cd's I got from MWO, but different too, they're really relaxing, tell you good things, eg, how special you are as a woman, and they also distract you from the thinking, the millions of thoughts that go round in my head anyway, if you know what I mean, great to put on as your going to bed, and help with nice dreams...

If you can't afford to buy some, let me know ( I will anyway!) and I will be happy to burn and post you some of my favs,( my buds have burned them for me) they are lovely and put good thoughts in your head, I don't know why I haven't mentioned it before, but before I found this site, they were a lifesaver for me, just help to get ya thinking positive, and we all need that hey? Have titles like, 'Magic Garden, and " swimming with Dolphins' sound a bit corny, but sound good for the heart and mind...

Take care my bud, love you lot's, Jas xxxx

I think you really need to push for residential rehab ,its going to be very ,very tough for you and your boyfriend will have to knock it on the head to support you I feel.......thinking of you

[irishlady]

dr s results,

Rachel, I agree with limers, I really think you should push hard for a residential rehab, the way you have been drinking you need to be looked after by professionals to get you through this, I wish the doctor had been able to do something more positive for you today.. Please do try to cut your drinking down to the bare minimum till you see the drug and alcohol team..

Thinking of you,
Love, Louise xx

Hi Rachel, I am so glad you got to the dr. I sure hope they help you so you can get past this and start a new healthy life. The dr. will probably give you Xanax to help stop the shaking. It will make things alot easier. I will be thinking of you today and wishing you the best. Buffy

dr s results,

Rachel, I do hope your insurance will cover in patient rehab for you, or at least intensive out patient. But sometimes insurance companies and drs. decide the damdest things. I have heard and have experienced in my family horrific stories of people getting no help at all for mental health issues. So we will still be here to support you no matter what they decide, but please do take all they will offer, you are worth it. You asked about kudzu. You can order it from the health store on this site, but that might take a while. You may be able to get it at a health food store. You can for sure get L-glutamine at a health food store and it does help reduce the cravings, especially if you open the capsule and pour it under your tongue. I hope you can continue trying to cut down while waiting for your appt. You were doing fairly well on cutting down for a while.

dr s results,

yea rachel. we're all here for you.
yah, the docs are usually hopeless, no real interest in you as a human being. guess they've seen too much and are numb to the reality that is killing you and so many other people. sad, but that's the person who we need for many things. But not for everything. Get the advice, get the meds, go for it, and remember that you have a lot of other resources to help you along the way.
