    Newbies Nest

    Good Sunday Evening Nesties!

    Lavande-What a great photo of the 2 of them pregnant! Glad to hear all went well with the shower. You must be relieved a bit that it is over...I know all the work that goes into hosting those sort of special parties!

    Jolie-On Supplements:
    Yes, I take a few supplements to help undo the damage I did to myself all these years also. I take Milk Thistle capsules as well as buy whole Milk Thistle seeds and toast them to have as a snack (it is very beneficial to eat them this way and I can post my recipe if anyone wants it...super easy! You can munch on them by the handful or sprinkle on salads and stuff). I also take Soy Lecithin (you can take by capsule or a teaspoon of the granules...tastes sort of nutty, good for the liver as well as cholesterol), I take a good quality mulit vitamin for women (Rainbow Light Women's One...it has extra D3 and Probiotics and just once a day). I also take a good fish liver oil supplement (Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega...no fish taste at all and the capsules are quite pleasant to take as they have a strawberry flavor), VitD3 on it's own cause it's good for your immune system, your mood and your bones, a probiotic with meals for immune support and digestive support, flax seed oil, ummm, what else, oh, a hair skin and nails supplement cause I think drinking a lot didn't do that area any good either! The one I take is called Bonita and it is also just once a day. That also has extra b vitamins in it that are good those who drink or used to! I drink a tea almost every night by Celestial Seasonings called "Morning Detox"...even though I don't drink it in the morning. It's caffeine free an has good liver cleansing herbs like Milk Thistle, Dandelion, Echineacea, and it tastes yummy, like vanilla. I got some free samples for Holy Basil, which is an herb in capsule form and you can take one a day to help "promote inner calmness". I thought that would be good to try and I have heard people recommend it. I will report it's success after I am taking it for a while.

    Hi also to Bean and everyone else enjoying a sober Sunday. Tomorrow is 10 days...I can't wait!

      My goodness Blondie, that is alot in my opinion. Sounds great! I take L-Glut and One a Day women's multi and drink green tea and that's it. . .maybe I'll start a thread for everyone's supps and how they are helping them. That would be interesting anyway!

          Good morning everyone, Monday - ahh.
          Madmans, well said, you are learning about the triggers, and gaining power over them, because urges pass, and we can learn new habits that bring with them no alcohol triggers. Lavande, great pics, I remember the days. Time does fly, my children are already in school - yikes. You are approaching two years sober, that is awesome.
          Have a great week everyone!

            Hi everyone, I have just registered here, and don't quite know how to start. I live in the north of England, and have joined this site as I am trying to stop drinking so much. Any tips?

              Good morning Nesters!

              MM, good job on thinking past that beer last night!!!!!
              That's the way to do it......keep your eye on the goal!

              Hill, it's true, time flies! Here I am having grandchildren when it seems like 'yesterday' that my kids were just small. I am very excited about my 2nd AF anni........what a difference

              Hi negina & welcome to MWO!
              The Nest is a great place to get started on your journey. If you haven't already you should download & read the MWO Book from the Health Store above.

                Good morning in the Nest! Hope everyone is waking up feeling great!

                Jennyeric-I do take quite a few supplements, but they are spaced througout the day. I guess I drink my own coolaide since I work in the health food industry...lol. But I feel great and can see the differences in by taking all that I mentioned. I have been on the holistic healing forum of MWO quite a bit and there are several posts about what folks are taking. It is always interesting to see what works for everyone and gain new information on the supplements out there.

                    Hi everyone

                    Welcome to the latest newbies - good on you for checking in here! :welcome:
                    It's been another good Monday for me and tomorrow will be a good day too as I will be 3 weeks AF!

                    Feeling lucky today as I just had a friend admit to me that she has a food addiction and I really feel for her. We don't need alcohol to survive and as someone who can't moderate, I can't imagine how I would manage if I HAD to drink to live but was never able to stop at one or two.

                    Lucky us that we can just do away with AL altogether.

                    Have a good night all.

                          Good morning Nesters! Hi to Lavande, MMs, Jolie, Bean, Jenny, Hillside, MyLife, Choice, Witchy, Oh My Goodness, there are so many of us!

                          Day 11 for me! I am so happy...despite the fact that I am about to head to work for a busy day and it is snowing out. Freezing rain coming our way to boot. Oh well, life it still good waking up sober! This is actually my "Friday" instead of Tuesday because I have the next 2 days off from work (I work through the weekends). Kind of weird but nice at the same time to have 2 whole days to myself during mid-week. I miss out on time with my hubby because he works M-F and we don't have our weekends together, but we work around that. I think it makes our marriage stronger...lol.

                          Anywhoooo, bright blessings to all of you wonderful Nesters who are getting up with a clear head and happy heart. Have a beautiful day!
