Hello again

[Guest]

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I'm a mom, wife, and professional in my late 50's. Starting abusing alcohol when I was facing marriage problems over 10 years ago. Since then it's been on/off.....I drink alone at home to escape stress. Since I joined MWO a little over a week ago I had 1 glass of wine on 2 occasions. Today my supplements arrived and I can get down and serious. I already have a hypnosis program on Alcohol Freedom.....I'd like to ask if others think there is an advantage to purchasing the MWO CD's. What do you all think of them?

My heart goes out each person struggling today....2 weeks ago I drank a pint of vodka each morning for 2 days then slept (passed out) all day both days. I was so disgusted with myself. But being disgusted with myself only sets me up for the next drinking episode...so I chose to forgive myself and move on. I haven't been struggling much since then but I know I need this program. Looking forward to getting to know you better.

Today is a new day and a new start. Gaia

Hello again

Gaia,

I can't speak to the cd's because I have never purchased them. I am sure others will jump in to respond on that.

I did want to say I think you have made an amazing start. I can relate to the drinking vodka first thing in the morning and being a useless passed out drunk the rest of the day. OMG.

It is true that beating ourselves up when we have failed is completely destructive. You have made the correct decision to just move on.

I am glad you are here and we will all do anything we can to help you in your journey.

I do know that being sober has made my life so much better. I feel much calmer, no major anxiety attacks and my self-respect has come back in spades.

Looking forward to getting to know you better!!

Hello again

Gaia, we're the same age with the (almost) same story! I had almost 30 days, then when off the deep end for a week end. So, here I am back and that's the key, coming back. I look back at all those lost days, and now I'm in high gear making up for them! Welcome! We may be 50 something, but we have the rest of our lives ahead of us!!!

Hello again

:hello2: and :colorwelcome:
It sounds like you have a good plan in place. I have not puchased the CD's yet, but have heard some very good things from others who have. I used to go on 3 day benders and accomplish Nothing!! Life is so much better when I do not drink. I look forward to your future posts. Best Wishes.

Hello again

Hello and:welcome:

I think the MWO cd's really help, but I think I would use what you've got, and then if you feel you need to bump it up a notch you can get the MWO cd's later.
Best wishes!

Hello again

Welcome back! If you care to share, who were you before coming back here? Yep I am nosey!

Oh, I remember drinking voddy in the morning and passing out for a good part of the day. That memory I hold close to my heart because it keeps me in check. I will never forget what shape my life was in. That was almost 2 years ago! I have had some slips along the way here; but NOTHING as severe as that. NO voddy either!

Hello again

Welcome! I agree with LVT, use what you've got. I think I have benefitted from the CD's. They help me clear my tangled up mind sometimes!
Good Luck!

Hello again

I think you have a good plan and a good start. I can relate to the AM vodka too. Unfortunately, I wouldn't pass out. I'd go about my unproductive day. I used the CDs but can't really speak for them. I listened to them in bed at night and would always fall asleep. I agree with the others. If you feel what you have works, then leave it at that. Good luck in your quest.
