Hi there, I've been lurking for a while but am starting the program today (including the Topamax) so thought I'd say "Hi." I really hope this works ... I'm so tired and bored of the vicious cycle!!!!!
My husband and I moved to Canada (from California) last year for his job, but also because we wanted to start fresh and try to change our lives (we drink together). Well, the past year has been horrible. His job hasn't worked out -- I mean he's still there but really unhappy -- and we really don't like it here (no offense to any Canadians out there).
So, last week we finally got word of a job offer back at his old offices in California and I finished a huge project that has taken up all my time for the past 6 months, so now is the time to quit this life. Since New Year's we've been drinking almost every other day and the quantity has increased also. Usually we just drink white wine but lately have been including the occasional bottle of vodka ... its so gross!
I've been ready for this for so long ... but of course I am scared. Hubby doesn't want to do the Topamax but has promised to be good and not "pick up anything" on the way home from work. For my part I am going to try and get dinner ready before he gets home because thats my trigger time, making dinner. Also of course I'm doing the tapes and supplements.
So, here I am stating my intention! Oh, we're in our early 40's, no children (just the 4 legged kind: 4 cats and 1 dog), been married almost 10 years but together for almost 20.
Thanks for listening!
