Day 3

Hi All,

All I can say is today is Day 3. I did almost give in last night, but I fought it. I am waiting on my meds. I just read something on another thread that said Topomax is hard on the kidneys. That makes me a little nervous because I tend to have UTIs even when I don't drink. I guess I will just have to make sure I drink a lot of water.

Anyway I feel pretty good except I slept on my neck wrong and it hurts today.

Anyone have any thoughts on the Topomax?

Welcome all newbies! Good idea on banding together to support each other. May want to start a thread such as "New in June group" (or some much more original name). Checking in with a core group on a daily basis is, for me, as helpful as all the supps, etc. Best wishes!

Tina, for more good reading and discussion specific to Topomax, you might want to check out the section of the site that is specific to the variety of available meds including Topa. This thread in particular is long, but IMO has lots of good information from first hand experience. https://www.mywayout.org/community/f2...cess-8755.html

Congratulations on pushing through to Day 3!! The early days can be difficult, but getting sober is worth it.

New Too

Hi

How did everyone do yesterday? I am new here as well, I am going to make my 1st AF day today. I drank with vigor last night, even though I said I wouldnt. Everytime I think I am drinking for the last time, I drink even more. So here I am at work kicking myself for the way I feel. And Committing to being AF today. It wont be hard til I get home at 530-6pm.

Good luck whitemarsh

I have been in those situations so many times where I kick myself all day long. I am tired of it though and want to do so much better. My thing if I can just get home at night not deal with any stress (which will never happen) and go to bed early, it helps me. My daughter and hubby clash and if they call me on the way home with something then it makes me want to stop and buy something to drink. I know that is a crutch to handle it that way so I just need to be stronger and not give in.

I watch HGTV which makes me not think about drinking. I just hope I can do okay before I get the medicine. That is going to really take some will power.

My hubby hates for me to drink but lately he has been ordering it for me when we go out to eat. If it is his idea, then it is okay, but if I order one then he gets mad.

Hi guys,

Joined myself a couple of weeks ago - just being able to look at what everybody says has been of tremendous help and has kept me going. It's definitely the place to be to get help and support - from time to time I've also raised the odd smile because despite the adversity there's also a huge amount of graciousness and patience on offer. Good luck and best wishes Px
