O.k..... so I had 4 AF days last week. WOW! It felt GREAT! I wanted to see how many days in a row I could be AF. On Sunday, I "caved" after a long drive home in holiday traffic and wanted to have a few drinks before returning back to the "real world" the following day. (I had off from work the week before Easter.) I had 3 glasses of wine. I enjoyed them, decided not to beat myself up over it. After all, I have not decided whether to abstain or moderate yet, just upped the topa to 75 mg. and still waiting for the All One powder to arrive. I didn't think I was going to drink on Monday, but ended up drinking 1 1/2 glasses of wine. Didn't think I was going to drink Tuesday, but had one beer (didn't taste too great) and finished up the rest of the wine which equalled about 2 glasses.
I spoke with my doctor and I have a script called in to up the topa to 50 mg. twice a day. Will pick that up tomorrow. I am also taking 1000 mg. of L-glutamine 2x per day, milk thistle, evening primrose oil, and will be adding the All One powder as soon as it arrives.
I hate craving alcohol in times of stress and over the next month or so, my life will be pretty stressful. My job in itself isn't stressful, but managing my job, family, and time is. I have difficulty balancing my time and often feel guilty about neglecting one thing or another. (So therefor, I tend to neglect it all and hit the bottle instead....... so productive, I know.) I need to find time to exercise. I feel like that is the missing piece for me right now. While I am unsure if I will moderate or abstain, I would like to get through 30 days AF to make a clear decision as to what might be best for me. I plan to reread MWO once I get through this week..... I have many things due at work between now and Monday. I am surprised I am even making the time to post, but I just felt the need to reconnect with everyone. Haven't made contact with anyone since Saturday and I feel a little lost! I was doing so well for awhile and now I feel 10 steps behind again. Thanks for reading!
