Got your attention? 
Ok I'm almost a first timer - or I will be starting next Monday with my Dr.'s appointment. She's agreed to prescribe Topamax for me. I bought the book after finding this website last week and I'm really excited about getting with the program - it makes SO much sense to me! I know I've had issues with brain chemicals being wonky in the past and I almost asked my Dr for Antabuse when I had an appt a couple of weeks ago but didn't. She always asks "do you drink? how much?" And I always say "too much". So this time when I came home from the appt I started researching and found MWO.
But I have some questions. For one, I haven't told my DH (dear husband) because I've hidden my drinking from him. I know I know, it's not really hidden. I know he knows but probably not how much and how often. He's an ex AA member - sober 25+ years and has offered to "drop me off or go with me" if I wanted to go. I know he will be my number one supporter....I just kind of want to get it under my belt first and say 'I did it myself' first. I'm just tired of the weight gain, of the dependency of it, the sneaking around and lying, the smell. I know basically 'why' I drink but have just been helpless to quit - until now. I just know this is going to work for me.
So the first question is - can I start this therapy without it being obvious? I think I can but that leads me to my next question. Does it affect your sex drive? And my third question is - can you buy your supplements locally like Kudzu? I saw in the book where she said that you could just order the hypnosis CD but I don't see that option? Is it really important? I'm not sure how much I would listen to it. What are the most important items?
oh - and has this helped anyone else with cigarette smoking? I smoke too much, drink too much, chew my fingernails too much, grind my teeth at night too much and read too much - I think my last count was 700+ books MOL last year from the public library alone.
