Hello,
Every night I drink one or more bottles of wine. Every morning I get up and I say I'm not going to do this AGAIN! I take my Vitamin C powder & B Complex. I sometimes take B1. I throw in a tablespoon of Glutamine Powder most days. As the day goes on I take Chromium and Cysteine and a whole food Vitamin w/minerals. I take an extra selenium. I take a Calcium, Magnesium, D & Phosphorous combo. I sometimes take a multi-amino combo but by the afternoon I am making excuses and saying just one more day, etc. etc. I have been doing the one more day thing for at least 10 years. What a joke.
I eat a plant based diet. I rarely and I mean rarely crave or eat sugar (I know alcohol is sugar.) I eat tons of vegetables, stay away from all processed products. I use whole grain locally milled flour and eat very little dairy. Any meat I eat (not much-don't like it) is locally and organically grown or fished.
I guess I am "lucky" Hah. I get more energy when I drink. It calms me so much, numbs my irritability. Makes me feel great. I rarely get hangovers though I think I am getting more lately. (Interesting.)
A few years ago I read 7 weeks to sobriety and managed 3 weeks without. Had my birthday - thought I could have one glass. That was it. Other than when pregnant I drink every day. I am not around any other drinkers. My husband will have a beer once or twice a week.
I believe strongly that this needs to be approached from a nutritional bio-chemical mega vitamin stand point. I just don't know which ones will finally do the trick for me. I think maybe I am not consistent enough. I tend to drop off the supplements by afternoon - just in time to start drinking again.
My goal is to go one day without - starting today. My throat is constricting at the thought. If any of you have similar stories and have a trick you could share with me please do. I want to not need and enjoy this stuff so much. Thank you. :upset:
