    Read the book My Way Out!!

    My Way Out is a book that must be read before you consider starting the program or taking any medication suggested. I am referring in particular to Topamax as I haven?t had experience with any of the other meds.

    When I finally got the guts to download the book I must?ve read it in three days, I could relate to so many parts of RJ?s story although my story was also so different. I could feel myself get so excited that it was only the other day that I realised that I have never finished reading the book?LOL. I have been taking the Topa and the supplements for 10 weeks now and I have had great success with it but also a few falls!!

    The programme is designed that you have a healthy DIET, EXERCISE, take your SUPPLIMENTS as well as your chosen medication. Please do not embark on this journey half heartedly and only take the meds as you will not reap the full rewards.

    I went into my cupboard this morning to take my full arsenal of supps and as I buy them from my local discount chemist most of them have the same gold lid. I knew I had ran out of the one suppliment which I thought was Milk Thistle and I was not too concerned about as my last blood tests from the Doc was really positive and financially I could not afford to top up until the end of the month again anyway this morning I was checking through my supps and noticed that it was L-Glut that I was actually out of for the last 2 weeks.

    Well that might explain my last couple of slips ups!! Not that I?m going to put the blame on a couple of little pills but that one glass of wine I allow myself in the evening has also been going down really well where as before it was tasting crap which has been bothering me, so that also might explain it.

    So if you are thinking of starting the program do yourself a favour and do it properly, I know financially it can be expensive initially but shit look at how much we spend on AL each month and put that towards a healthy YOU, read the book from cover to cover, find a GP that you can be honest with and when you do start the program commit yourself to it whole heartedly and don?t let your guard down, learn from my mistake.

    I am going to read the book again, cause I think I need a refresher course and I definitely need to re-evaluate my ideas on modding!! I haven't done 30 days AF, I think I missed that chapter in my drunken haze or because I was just too shit scared but I feel strong enough to do it now and I know I have the support of everyone here.

    So heres me getting my A into G this week and wishing all my fellow modders a fine modding week and all the adders a marevellous Abbers week and to all the Newbies, Welcome just take it ODAT!

    Thank you Dee

    I do so well and then my willpower starts to fade. I have not read the book yet and have not been taking the supps. Sometimes I feel like a hypocrite b/c I do well and think I will sail thru then I mess up. I feel embarrassed and that I am a liar if that makes sense but I am not a liar in any way.

    I am going to read the book and do this right. I went 10 days and felt good then I screwed up. I was pissed at myself.

    Thanks for the advice. It is an inspiration.

            DeeBee,

            Thanks for putting this out there. I also think it is important to read the book in order to follow the program. It can always be tweaked to fit our own needs.

            :goodjob:

            :thanks:

              Dee Bee,
              Thank you for putting this up! The book My Way Out, it the key to making this program work! The program is very flexible with many ways to tweek it for our own personal program. The board is great for support, but The Book is The Program!

              It breaks my heart to see people come her and struggle........and continue to struggle and struggle and call themselves Mods etc. But they continue to struggle because they have not armed themselves with the right information and tools to succeed! No, this is not easy, it still take work, but it is in our own hands if we succeed or not!

              The BOOK is the KEY!

              xxx Kate

                  I ordered the book ... don't have much ink left in my printer, so I'm waiting for delivery.... will take a few days because it has to cross the border and go through customs. Anxious to start reading.

                    I've been doing the program by the book, and I've been able to get 49 days sober, a miracle. This from someone who didn't have more than 5 days in a row in 7 years. It's more of a comfort than an inconvenience to follow the little routines for me.

                      The book is worth every single penny...I love it and like Captn, mine is getting tattered as well. It is a comfort, not a lecture.

                      I don't know how long it will take to get to Ireland. If it goes regular post should be a week? I'm a genealogy nut and correspond with Finland frequently. Our mail back and forth takes sometime less than a week.

                      After I ordered the book, I stumbled upon it at Barnes & Noble in the self help section, so check there if convenient.

                      Wishing you all a wonderful day!

                        Can't wait to get stuck in.

                          We need to keep bumping this to the top!! We need to let everyone know that MWO is a system that works! We do not have to continue to try to invent a way to stop drinking. The results of extensive research and a proven method is all in the book!

                          I go crazy when I see people posting things like...."Modderation is whatever it is for each person", or other such things. Of course, this is always posted by a "modder", who has a ton of "slips". It is certainly everyone's perogative to drink or not drink. But, I do think that we have a responsibility on this sight to discuss the program that works!! And MWO WORKS! If you work the program!

                            Thanks DeeBee, Kate and all,

                            It was a desperate evening last month when I searched the web for a place that could give me some practical ways to bring my drinking under control and offer much-needed hope. I was so impressed by RJ's story and the fact that she wasn't selling some miracle pill "clinically proven" that could do it with no effort on my part. Hers was a practical and thorough approach. The book is wonderful and launched a whole new Vera-b. I'm on the last week of the daily cd's, but don't think I'll be giving them up. I so look forward to listening to the beach sounds on the subliminal cd and coming here to see how my MWO family is doing.

                            So many times I've posted on a newbie thread to come to this site for support, but first arm yourself! DeeBee, you said it so well. We have to give the program our full effort. I hope to be one day a "senior member" who can help somebody else - and I'll the first thing I'll do is refer them to this thread!

                              Vera-B,
                              Wow! I am so happy for you! You are doing so well! You are an inspiration to all the newbies! Yep...this is a battle, a battle for our lives and our sanity.....we must arm ourselves!

                              And as for the "senior thing"......no big deal there.....some make it very quickly with no sobriety at all. It is based on the number of posts and nothing else!

                              I think you have a lot to share! I look forward to reading your posts and hearing about your progress!

                              Best Wishes,
                              XXX Kate
