AK,
I am 57, married with two boys, 21 and 32. My 32 year old has my only grandchild- 2000 miles away in Atlanta. My drinking was bad when I was age 30-42, then my husband went into rehab. We both were AF for 7 years then he started drinking again. I tried to fight his drinking and force him to stop by threatening to leave (he was mostly drinking away from home) and staying out all night, etc. Eventually, I couldn't beat it so I "joined him". That was about 4 years ago and I progressed quite rapidly to 12-15 beers a day. On weekends we, many times, introduced Vodka. Anyway, with my age, I know I'll be sick soon if I don't wise up so here I am, happily getting to know all of you. I am feeling the euphoria of being AF already, so I am feeling quite strong. I know I will have challenges but ODAT I will beat this thing, with the help of all of you. A resounding "thank you" to everyone! kriger
I lived most of my life in Palm Beach County, FL but now we're in Utah (we're not even Morman). I miss Florida because it's population is more diverse, but I don't think I could go back to the humidity!
Gia, Good luck tonight on keeping in moderation; I know you can do it. Doing the AF thing together starting Sun sounds like a good plan- I wish you both lots of luck-that first day is the hardest. I'm sure you already know that.
Starting- Ask your local pharmacist about the GABA. I actually went online- there are quite a few webites that allow you to "ask the pharmacist". I would ask a couple of them just to get more than one opinion. When you ask them make sure to list everything you plan to take along with everything you are currently taking so they can get a complete pic. Thanks for your kind words- I DO feel stronger every day, thanks to everyone here. kriger
