Hey Minx, I'm scooting over. Plenty of room for you here.

Barbell, sounds like you have a good understanding doctor, but she doesn't know shit about quitting alcohol, because the supplements will do so much more than any medication. I know from long experience, having quit from heavy drinking many times, mostly with the aid of benzo meds (they make you a zombie, but get you through it). A very heavy supplement regime will help your body cope on its own, without making you feel totally out of it. TAKE YOUR SUPPS!

Welcome minx!
I'm a single mum who has used drinking wine (bottle a day or more) as a 'reward' for the stresses of everyday life but have realised it's not working... thanks to this site I was Alc free for 6 days last month but have got back into my old habits since. Tomorrow I'm going for AF again as I felt so much better for it. Keep posting!:welcome:

Take it from me, at one time I was drinking 3-5 liters of wine a day and supplementing it with a quart of vodka now and then as "needed". I have now been AF for 202 days, and I am amazed and thankful for that blessing. You can all do this. I tried and failed to quit many times. I found it takes a true desire to quit and a willingness to do whatever it takes to stay sober. I finally decided to come out of the alcoholic hiding place and found everyone who I had much contact with already knew I had a drinking problem. It was my pride that kept me drunk. I wish you all Gods speed in your recovery

I am 44, married (barely, my DH doesn't drink and is pretty pissed at me), a SAHM with twins that are 8.

All I can say is NOPE! You are not alone!!!

Sounds a little like my situation.

From a mom of two kids that are 15 months apart... just about twins~!

MDBiker, congrats on your sobriety!

LauraAnn, darn kids drove me to drink (just kidding, lol) but that's definitely when my alcoholism came out full force--about 6 months after they were born. And it's been getting worse since.

Alrightee, I gotta get going with this stuff. I'm a little scared about the Topa meds, but I'm looking around for Kudzo (sp?) Rescue. I was at a health food store today but they didn't have it so I guess I'll order it from the store here (I just didn't want to have to wait)...

Thanks for the nice welcome everyone.
