    I screwed up!!!

    I tried the Topa and got up to 175 but it really wasn't doing the job so I got prescript for Campral...It worked, I was amazed. I've been on it for two weeks and it's really working. BUT...I went out to dinner with my daughter to one of our usual haunts where I alway ordered wine...and couldn't resist. Drank two glasses which only made me want more so I stopped at the store and bought a bottle and drank it all. I'm so mad at myself!!! I was on day 8 and was amazed at how well I felt. I've got to get it in my mind that I just can't have any, not even one without binging. I'm going to strive for no AL. Hope I can do it this time.

    Ready2Quit,

    Awesome on 8 days and the fact that you did not let it lead to a several day/week binge is even better.

    Just jump back up on the wagon and keep going.

    Good on you.

    Love,

      I think I can make it through today and that will be a good start. This morning I found that I had eaten an entire bag of chocolate covered raisins...about 1,400 calories worth!!! I don't even remember it. Pretty disgusting. That alone should keep me AF.

            I am very new here -- but I have been there so many times. I only get in real trouble when I decide that slipping up is a good excuse to go back out there and drink every night, morning or whatever. I drank too much again last night and the night before and the night before, etc. For some reason I got up today determined to DO something about it. So I came on this site, went to an AA meeting and feel somewhat hopeful for the first time in many weeks. Good luck and thanks:, Matt:new:

                Ready & Matt ~ welcome. Congrats on your decisions to get yourselves some help.

                You both should drink a lot of water over the next few days. Really try to flush your system out. If you haven't already, get the book if you can. It explains the program and how to incorporate the supplements.

                Read a lot of the posts. And ask many questions.

                Good luck to you both. We are here for you whenever you need.

                Love, Me

                  ready,
                  Your post just helped me this very second. I am going out to dinner with my husband, with no kids, at one of our favorite spots. Hubby came home with beer on his breath and just went out for more. I was seriously thinking about having just 2 glasses of wine with dinner. "Why not?" I asked myself. "He's always drinking." Now, after reading your post, I'm not giving up. I know if I try 2 glasses right now I'll buy a bottle to bring home. Today is day 5 AF and I'm not going to blow it and feel like crap tomorrow just because my husband can't control his drinking. Thanks ready, I'm very appreciative and I'm here to support you! :thanks: :l

                    Thanks for all your replies. I made it last night and was so happy this morning when I woke up refreshed!! Hubby brought home 3 bottles of wine and was inviting friends over...luckily they couldn't make it. He doesn't know the full extent of my drinking problem and that I am taking Camprel...just that I'm cutting back. He doesn't have a drinking problem and only has a beer or a glass of wine every once in a while. He knows I like to drink but doesn't realize how much I drink...I also put my wine in a water cup so no one really knows if I'm drinking wine or water. Hopefully, he won't want to have a glass together since the friends couldn't go out. I'm sure I would break down and have a glass...but at least I wouldn't be able to drink the whole bottle. Thanks for all the support. Readytoquit

                          I understand and it is important to remember that just one glass is never enough! My friend used to say "one is too much and a million is not enough" keep coming back and talking

                              I may try the Campral. I need something that will work better than the Topa.
