Hi All. Found this site yesterday while researching Topamax. I ordered the book, the CDs, and the Supps from the Health store and Anxiously await them. Also picked up the phone, called my physician, told her about MWO, and asked if she would prescribe Topo for me. She agreed to, as long as I stay in touch with my weight and see her in a month. I have had a drinking problem for about 15 years now. I only drink at night, so during the day everyone thinks I am the perfect mother and wife. I am a good mother and wife, but not when I have had 6 glasses of wine at night! I feel so desparate. I am not sure how this works. It is a bit overwheming, all the boards, but someone please help me! Thank you! Boo

Hi Boo! And welcome aboard, I think you'll like it here. We're a pretty friendly bunch. This program is an incredible journey back, to getting your "life back". I know mine was so out of control for so long, I was really losing sight of so many things that I love. It's a wonderful feeling to to not feel like a "wounded soul" anymore. Hugs, Judie

My physician recommended I take one 25MG. Tablet twice a day. One in the morning and one at night. Can anyone tell me what the book suggest. I got the prescription filled this morning and am ready to get going on the MWO Program!

Wow Boo! I'm so glad you are here. I am just coming up on my first month here and I was exactly like you when I started. Sounds just like my own words when I read your post. I'm now counting more AF days than I thought I would make. I love it. The topa works great for me. I stopped at 100 mg. That is working really well for me. I will be seeing my Dr. next week for a follow up. I'm so happy. I never thought I could be happy again. Expecially this easy.

You'll See! It's so worth it!

Welcome,
Hope

Welcome Boo!!
Yep, like everyone has already said, you'll find lots of us just like you here! I'm not a mother, but I looked "good" on the surface--just that I was dying inside and felt totally trapped in my own misery. Now I have a lot of ABS (abstinent) days and I'm feeling like a completely new person!

Hang here, keep reading and posting--and it is typical to spend a lot of hours here especially at the beginning...I almost feel as though I have another addiction! :lol

It's all good--glad you're here!
best, susan

How is that for service!?! Way to take care of your people MWO! Thank you! I can't wait to get on with the program. Did not do well last night and am very low about that. But I am trying to pick myself up by the boot straps and try again. Love hearing from you. Boo
