Anyone on Day1

I took 5 grams this morning along with some supplements. How often per day do you take L-glute and how much?

I am sad to report that I did stop at the grocery store and since I just "happened" to be there picking up frozen fruit for my smoothies, I grabbed my favorite sauvignon blanc. I am off to take some more L-glute.

Just because I picked up the bottle doesn't mean I will open it.

We always joke here in Florida that wine is a necessary hurricane supply. How else does one cope with no electricity and children? Just kidding.

I am glad the L-glute works for you

Hey all, Day 2 here, and Im not so gung ho like yesterday. Yesterday I still felt the self induced guilt from drinking a lot the night before. Today I keep thinking, I'm not that bad. I don't pass out anywhere other than my bed. My kids are put to bed on time with clean clothes and a good tuck in. All I do know is I felt like crap yesterday about my drinking. There's a reason for that. There's a reason I'm here talking to you guys. It's not because anyone else has told me I have a problem. It's because -I- think I have a problem. Wow, I just figured out where I'm at right now. That felt good.
Tiny,
I seem to always be on Day 1 too. It seems like when I really wanted to go for it someone would visit from out of town and brought me a 6 pack. Or my Dad would stop by and leave some beer in my fridge. Honestly, because I'm on day 2, I'm just waiting for someone to stop by..(family is in town right now). No matter what happens, keep trying. That's what I'm gonna keep doing until I get it.
Whoosh,
How's that cranberry juice taste?

yogagril,
the l-glute I got on this site is 1000 mg. it seems like a lot when you empty it out under yur tongue but I did it before I left work and it seems to make me just zip by that liquor store on the way home. I even went to the grocery store today and did not pick up any wine. I moved from Fl. to Austin, do you mind saying where you are in Fl? I was taking the L-glute in the capsule and it did not seem to work as well. HOpe that helps. At the end of tomorrow it will be the 7th day AF. Everyone on my street drinks so I hope we do not get hit to hard by this storm so I don't run across the street. No electricity , kids and the hubby...I might go crazy....

I haven't started day 1 yet or I should say I am going to start again. I went 2 weeks AF last month but had quit reading the posts. I just ordered Kudzu yesterday and went to Walmart for the L Glut. My husband quit like it was nothing, same with smoking. In the last 3 years he lucky if he's drank 6 beers. Why is it that on 1 hand I wanna quit and on the other I don't want to quit.

MM,
I feel exactly like you. Today I'm going for AF (again) because of a bad hangover. I've felt like crap all day from good 'ol chardonnay. A lot of it. I'll probably make it then feel like freakin' super woman tomorrow..."I'm not so bad." "I can handle it." "I deserve it." Over and over and over like a recording. Let's stick together, buddies! Sigh.

I am in central florida (DeLand).

I am just watching on the news that you guys are about to be slammed. My thoughts are with you and your family. Hope you have every thing you need to stay AF.

I purchased a powder form of L-glute from the health food store. It says to take 5 grams. Your dose is equivalent to 1 gram. Do you do 1000 mg three times per day?

Stay safe and dry. :rays:

Yoga,
Delightful Deland. I love walking through the downtown area and browsing for antiques. I still have relatives in Naples, Palm Beach Gardens, Kissimmee and Summerfield. I went to HS in Winter Haven. Kriger

Hi Yogagirl,

Woosh congrats on making it to day 2. How is MM doing?? I hope I don't float away...

Almost through day 2

I suffered a heart attack 3 weeks ago and as part of my treatment, I was put on a medicine that has the side effect of increasing liver enzymes. I had a blood test earlier this week and my liver enzymes were elevated. The doctor told me to stop all alcohol (which may also have been the culprit), reduce my medication and get retested next week. I was a heavy chardonnay drinker, but have made it so far through day 1 (didn't sleep a wink last night) and am 2/3 through day 2. I'm not craving too much and I feel pretty good. As I'm not allowed to drive (because of the heart attack) there is no chance of me going out to get any wine, which is probably a good thing. I think what is also helping is that I have not yet been able to return to work so I don't have the stress of commuting, etc.

gdy,
I hope you are doing ok from the heart attack and congrats on day 2. White wine is evil...Plus if yuo are taking any other heart meds you don't want to mix wine with those. This will be a great excuse for you to keep going AF. There is a lot of support here if you keep posting. You should probably ask your heart doctor what supplements you can take if yu get cravings...like the kudzu or L-glute. Take care of yourself and good luck.

Hi Kriger...DeLand is delightful albeit somewhat boring.

HW...OMG! I am so proud of you not using the hurricane as an excuse. I totally would have bagged that excuse w/o any guilt at all. I have clear memories a few years back when we got 4 hurricanes in a row. Even back then, I was trying to quit and I persuaded my husband to stop and get me a bottle of wine because I would be too "nervous" during the storm.

Stay strong and (OMG I can't believe I am going to be so corny)...Hunker down.

Thanks yogagirl, unfortunatly; I did just about eat 1/2 pound of peanut butter M&M's (piglett) but my stomach is upset enough now that I still don't want wine I am suprised to but I don't want to get too excited yet. I am a long way from 30 days.
