Hi to all my MWO friends!
I haven't posted in awhile, but just wanted to check in and give you all an update:
I made 9 days AF before my family trip to Napa, CA. Although I did drink out there, there were several nights with just one glass of wine. Unheard of in my past!! I did have more than I wanted one night, but it still wan't a pass out night, so I need to view this as a good thing instead of beating myself up over it. I travelled back on Wednesday and made that an AF day again --- despite the urges to drink before boarding and on the plane. Last night, I was AF again, so here I am on Day 2. Back in the saddle!!!
The other update has to do with the doctor. Before I received the CD's and supps, I made a doctor's appt. I had been dreading that and I was worried what I would find out. I just had the follow up appt yesterday (to review the bloodwork results) and everthing was fine!!! He did every alcohol-related test, and they were perfect!! I am so thrilled! I also talked to him about some of the insurance nightmares I have read here, and he was so nice about it. He said he limited the amount of information on my chart and he put another diagnosis code on the bloodwork to not raise flags at this point. When I told him that I had made great progress with this program, he was very supportive and congratulatory. It felt good to hear it, as well as put those fears about liver failure to bed.
I am determined more than ever to make this work. Day 2 here I come!!
Just wanted to share... since many of you asked me to report back about all this. Have a great Saturday!!
I have missed you all!
