I think it is working already!

[Croft]

Ok, so I got off to a bad start, but things are looking up.

After making out with the postman I unpacked my boxes and investigating my new source of assistance. It took forever to get all that plastic wrap off the little bottles. I can get a bottle of wine open faster. But finally got all 4 bottles open and laid out my first dose of "The Herbal Cocktail".

Then I opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate the arrival of the herbs that are going to help me not need a bottle of champagne to celebrate the arrival of the herbs.

WOW - those are some big pills! The first one got stuck in my throat and I almost choked to death. Which made the champagne that I was using to down the herbs go up my nose. I am sure there is a lesson here somewhere. So teary eyed and champagne snorting I finally recovered and was able to down the rest of pills.

It is day 2 and half and I think it is helping. I don't feel as much of a "need" as I usually do. I have not had a chance to listen to the CDs yet, but plan on starting that tonight.

I am definately encouraged.

Hopefully you got some Kudzu rescue. That stuff (for me anyway) is pretty much sobriety in a bottle. Obviously some effort will be required on your part, but it should be a big help. Good luck Croft.

I have ordered the supplements from MWO, however I am taking vitamins, drinking plenty of water, my concern is I can't sleep at night, I'm 3 today will be 4 AF and I'm exhausted. I feel like I've been drinking for the past few days. My husband went to the store to get me some melatonin, does anyone have the correct dosage for this?
Thanks.

Derry, some people do not like Melatonin because they have bad side effects. I usually cannot take much of anything, but I love Melatonin. I buy the time-release capsules because I do not have a problem falling asleep, but I have a huge problem staying asleep; this helps. I also find that it is not impossible to function if you HAVE to get up. I have kids so they sometimes need me in the middle of the night, and I can get up without a problem, and then go back to sleep. I take only one a half hour before bed.....but everyone is different.....

Croft, I have found the supplements to be VERY helpful in reducing my desire to drink. I hope you have the same success. I have problems making time to listen to the CD as my life is really busy right now.

Derry - Melatonin never worked right for me, but I did not have the time release. I would fall asleep ok, but then wake up later. I use Valerian, an herbal supplement that works well for me. I take one about an hour before bed and then another when I get in bed.

Lukalee, thanks, what mg do you take. I have a problem falling asleep and staying asleep. I'm only averaging 3-4 hours a night and I have kids who I shuttle everywhere in the evenings, so being exhausted is not working for me.

Deena, can I get that at a pharmacy?
Thanks.

Derry- I'm the same way.... wait till the goofy dreams start up. I've been re-living my twenties, but in my REM state, I'm much more adventurous.... I've woke up and looked at my hubbie and thought, "what is HE doing here?" :H

Anyway, it does get better. Drink water... some people here are tea lovers and can recommend good ones.... I normally take a book to bed and make my eyes sleepy.

If you get addicted to this site and if you have a laptop, do NOT take it to bed. Trust me.
Good luck,

Derry,
Valerian is an herbal supplement, I get mine at the grocery store and/or drug store, it's over the counter and found in the aisle with things like St. John's Wort and Garlic. I pay about $7.00 a bottle. I just checked mine, and it's 450 mg. My melatonin was 1mg and not time released (I still have it so I checked).
