I just wanted to introduce myself and get started posting here. I am a 47 year old single woman and have been struggling with drinking all my adult life. I was sober six years from 1988-1994, but since then have only put together a year at most. I lost a good job last February right after knee surgery and things have been going downhill since then. I got the My Way Out book and CD's a few weeks ago and have been using the CD's with limited success. I started Topamax yesterday and am hopeful that it will prove to be the missing link. I also started seeing a therapist a couple of weeks ago, but am suffering now from severe depression and anxiety and won't be able to see a psychiatrist (it's through the state) until March 2nd.
I was doing pretty good with moderating until last Friday when I was hit with an extreme panic attack and went on a two-day vodka binge. I'm just looking for some support and encouragement. Thanks.:new:
