Hi everyone,
I ran across MWO a few days ago while researching various nutri supps and alternative programs. This one is the ONLY one I found that's totally in line with my beliefs! So today I finally decided to sign up. :l
Many parts of my story are eerily similar to RJ. I won't go into all the details, but what caught my attention most about MWO is the strong nutritional component along with the acceptance for individual choice about abstenance vs moderation. It's been about 3-4 weeks since I started my quest. Here's a brief recap:
1) Started drinking socially about 5 years ago (in my 30's)
2) After several major life tramas this year, suddenly jumped to 1-2 bottles of wine each night (sneaky stuff! gets you when your down
)
3) Tried to cut back with counseling and AA, but couldn't handle the emotional roller coaster and cravings
4) Found NAC, an electrolyte combo, aminos, and a hi-B complex to combat the morning after symptoms (about 3 weeks ago)
5) Found 5-htp, omega 3, and melatonin supps to stablize sleep and mood swings (about 2 weeks ago)
6) Found Bee Pollen, Suma, Royal Jelly, and Ginseng to restore energy (about 1 week ago)
7) Found Kudzu and up'd my glutamine intake 3 days ago
8) Found Xylitol sugar substitute yesterday (doesn't metabolize as glucose - no hypoglycemic spikes, starves candida, fights bacteria, rebuilds tooth enamel, low on GI index, etc)
Over the past 3 weeks I've noticed steady physical and psychological improvements. Alcohol consumption patterns and physical reactions to it are starting to change too. Craving for more after 2-3 glasses doesn't seem to exsist any more. Had first AF day (not planned, just didn't feel like it) 2 days ago.
Now, after having to be secretive about my approach (my daughter is a die-hard AA'er) I've also found a support forum that is in line with my beliefs
Finally!
