Hi Terssy

You seem so distressed!

We're both in England, and keep missing out on directly corresponding and I've no idea how to set up individual links. And we are drinking similarly by the sound of it and are in the same state of worry about it. A messy website - how do we keep in touch because I feel we ought to?

I'm a month into the programme and can see some changes: I've gone off coffee, totally, which I used to love; I've gone off food, in combination with a really bad fortnight's cold, and dropped weight - half a stone, - which I don't mind but didn't plan; I am losing interest in cigarettes, which problem I'd planned to leave for the future. I've lost interest in red wine: two open bottles in the kitchen I can only look at with loathing. But so far: still not stopping intake of favourite tipple of white wine: around two bottles a night. Maybe my addictions are gradually fading out?

Have the elements of the programme. Am now doing the hypnotic tapes intensively; have all the supplements (can advise on British sources, except for ALLONE). I get the TOP drug off line. This week up to the 150mg dose level: hoping for changes.


Where are you on starting the programme? It has obviously worked for so many people?

Do reply

Cheers

Dunnock

Dunnock and Terssy - Hang in there, Rome wasn't built in a day. The only way we lose is if we stop trying. Terssy, I can relate to your situation of being a social worker and telling yourself all the right answers; I'm an addictions counselor (how's that for ironic!) and am taking time off to get my life back on track. I have to run but just know that we can do this, let's all stay focused on our goal. Best of luck,

Kathy

Be strong

Terssy - one thing this list has shown me is just how many other responsible professional folk there are out there with similar kind of drinking problems - and for years I thought it was just me . . . - so don't feel guilty (enough to worry about without the guilt trip). And I wouldn't worry too much about seeing your doctor (doctors have a pretty high alcoholism rate themselves, you know). Mine was pretty good when I first 'fessed my problem about five years ago. And yes - since you ask, I've still got my love affair with a decent bottle of white wine, or two, and it's still what I' m thinking about when I'm coming home from work, feeling pretty shattered.

Not quite the success story yet. Hope you have more luck.

Regards

Re: Be strong

Came across your posting and felt very connected.... I am just starting out and am very unsure about how things will work out. My work and job stress are extreme (for now anyway) so I am very sympathetic. One piece of information I received in talking LOTS of us in this situation is this: It probably took a while to get into the state that I am in; don't think it can be cured instantly. Falling back into the 'cesspool' doesn't mean you failed, just means you need a bath and clean clothes.....

Please keep trying. BEST wishes!
