First day here

Hi everyone, This is my first post although I have been reading post for about 2 weeks now. I ordered the supp yesterday and am going to order the topamax today. I hope this works. I have tried and failed so many times. :new:

PS..learning how this all works and not sure how to use the icons. My time is wrong going to have to figure it all out.

Welcome Jaded!!! Keep posting you will get the hang of it.

The Kudzu especially takes the edge off the craving. My Topamax arrived just today. I am little nervous to take because of one side effect - forgetting words and potentially who knows what else. I am hoping that will not be too much of a problem. Also going to start my hypno CDs tonight.

Keep us informed on how things go for you!!! Great to hear from you!

Thanks Croft!

Just knowing someone is on my side is helping! Croft, You sound awesome and are doing great, keep it up.

My husband found this site for me awhile ago, gave me the book .... I was scared at first, worried, didn't want to take the first step. So I read for awile put didn't post...You know, blah, blah, blah. Glad I did.

My favorite childrens movie is BAMBI. I love the part where Bambi slides down the snowy hill onto the ice and can't get his footing. That is what I feel like right not. I am trying to find my own feet in all of this. It is all so new. I have been the "old AL" way for so long.

Jaded: Good luck, keep reading like they say. We can do this! Hang in there and welcome. Hey we are both NEW! We can only keep trying, better than keep going the way we were.

Thanks for listening,
Bambi -- trying to stand on ice!

(need to find that picture to add like the rest of you have a picture)

Thanks Croft...I am also concerned about the side effects of the top...I ordered the Kudzu last week and thought I would give it a try to see if it made a difference. I think I may have had a reaction to it..not sure if it was the Kidzu or possibly something else...I'm going to give it one more try.

ms.p - the side effects are included on the website somewhere, can't remember where, but you should look them up so you get it right.

The ones that I am remembering are that you sometimes forget things or mix words up, weight loss (like that is a bad thing), tingling in your arms and legs and a metalic taste when drinking carbonated beverages.

Ms. P..I am on Topamax...

Hi all,I am new here!I have been on Topa for about 2 months,up to about 125 mg now.Also just re-started CAmpvral along w/ it.I am so sick of this alcohol merry-go-round running my life.I have been reading posts here,taking some of the supplements and trying really hard the last couple of months to get things under control,but am still having a hard time.I finally am just now after adding the campral a few days ago feeling like my cravings are slowing down.Ms.P.,the topamax seemed to help a bit pretty quickly right away for me,but i think i just wasn't mentally ready enough.as far as side effects,don't let your self get too worried about them until and IF they start because I am VERY sensitive to ALL medicatons (except for alcohol,vicodin,percoset,or anything else that gets you high,of course )and all i have experienced is the pins and needles in my feet and it has not been ANYTHING undealable.You may not experience any of them!And it sounds like it works wonders for so many here!!! I have 2 amazing little boys and i have got to beat this damn thing and all of you guys and this site have been so helpful to me...thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!!I hope everyone is feeling good and positive and healthy today...:new:

love,rebecca :l
oh,p.s...CROFT...your post about the water bottles frickin CRACKED ME UP!!!Our senses of humor are very are very similar:devil:

metolios/trixietrack - something sounds suspicious when you say "fermented"

Kombucha

It can have some AL in it. (.015) kids can buy it OTC. It's basically a health food drink. Google it. It's good for what ails ya.
