I ordered everything except the topramax and I'm waiting for that right now...I'm hoping this will be a solution for me as I'm tired of killing myself with this incessant drinking. At least I realized why I drink (lonliness). Funny even when I was with a person in a relationship- because they ignored me- I drank even more when I had someone than now when I'm single. That relationship ended due to my drinking (or so he says).

Anway...I'm on my way out and I just wanted to say hello.

Take care...

Well, so far the only problem I'm having is TAKING the pills. I hate pills. So far, the Calms forte has worked WONDERS in helping me sleep at night...I actually can sleep and I DREAM now! I added a few more things to the program that I figured could help...

*5htp- 1 pill taken at night
*Omega 3- 1 in the morning (I have excema so I wanted an extra boost)
*Calcium/mag/vitamin D combo (I'm D anemic so I figured it couldnt hurt to add D to it)
*St John's Wort- 1 3x a day for depression/mood lift

anyone else added things to their routine?
So far..no cravings...even on day two. I guess I'm just determined this time for it to work. I HAVE noticed I'm eating a bit more and more carbs- which I read is normal.

Evildiva- Welcome..so glad you've started the program don't forget to visit the"program thread" . I ahve added the L-glut to my supps...I take lexepro for depression and anxiety so I stick with the supps in the program for those... I'm thinkignt that the B50 is giving me the runs have youniticed anything with that,...are do you not take it? Calm forte is wonderful!!!

Hi E-Diva, welcome and good luck. I feel like an old hand here already and I've only just done 2 days AF! To be honest its not been that bad so far, making the decision was hardest and you've done that already. This website is brilliant, makes you realise just how many people are out there struggling with alcohol.

Good luck.

thank you!
Second day was not so good at night- I could not sleep for having dull ache in my midsection- almost like it felt when I had gallstones (I had my gallbladder taken out so it was not that). I wonder if it could've been something else?

I took a pill for the extreme pain I was in and finally drifted off to sleep. It has not returned this morning. Perhaps I should adjust my nightly dosages so as not to have this happen again...it was quite painful!

Although I wonder if it has to do with my kidneys/liver/pancreas....
