Hi Noella and so happy to see you back!
Yes we will help you and I agree that being more active on the boards and talking more is your best route. I was never a big talker and never talked about myself or my problems and that's why I landed in the mess of trouble with drinking I was in. That was until I found this place. I feel safe here that I can talk about serious issues and that I can also joke around and have a great time. Even though I will never meet these people they have become friends and I hope you allow that to happen for you as well.
Many times I have been at social functions watching others drink a couple drinks here and there then switch to water or soda and wondered how the heck do they do that. Or the people who are surrounded by alcohol who never once even pick it up. That was just foreign to me. Now, though I am one of those people. Don't get me wrong it has taken work and I have gotten a lot of advice here that has made it happen for me. Now I can go to big parties or even throw them at my home and only have a couple and not be the drunken fool I used to be and wake up the next morning ashamed wondering what the hell I did the night before. It can happen for you too.
You are not missing anything. Actually in my opinion you just found what you need again. You just need to keep up with it this time. Keep reading and posting and get serious. Order the supplements (Kudzu and Lglut are amazing in my opinion) and think seriously about Topamax or something else. You can get these online without ever involving your doctor if you want. Visit the Topamax,Campral etc thread on the main page...lots of good advice there.
I wish you the best.
