You've been AF for months? I am in awe dude. The best I ever did was three weeks. You had a bad day. I respect you man because you've done a lot better than I have. You know you can go months. I don't have that proof. But I am trying again anyway. Be well.

Well

Good luck today Mas!

Well

Thanks for the support. Things are going well. Lots of anxiety and of course the awful sweats, but I hope these pass real soon. I'm anxious to begin with so the added worries make it difficult not to have a few sips. It's a little nerve racking trying this all alone, but I believe I will be okay. Just trying to stay real busy--lol.

On a similar note, does anyone have experience/thoughts on tapering if it becomes to much?

Hi Mas, for me tapering wasnt an option as I dont think I am strong enough to do that, but many people do. There is a great tapering thread by 42Cat...

Hope this helps a bit.
Keep up the good work!!

Well

Thanks for the support and link Startingover. Interesting read. Today has started out fine. Body still adjusting. I have found that baby powder actually helps with the sweating. Soaks it right up--lol. No plans yet for the day, so may be a tough one, but I feel good about things at the moment!!!

I still have not had contact wh my wife or children, so I continue to want to say forget it. Not the best mindset but I hopefully a greater one prevails.

Hi, Maslow

I went up as high as 16 - 18000mg of L-Glut when I started my alcohol tapering. I used to drink a bottle of vodka and a bottle of red wine every day, for far too long than I care to remember. Since joiing MWO, I've tapered down to 2 glasses per night, and have mostly been able to keep it there. Long-term, I want to become AF, since it is bloody hard work to moderate.

Anyway: we each find our own way and plan... I just wanted to let you know about the higher doses - I split mine into 4: early morning, midday, early evening and again shortly before bedtime.

Good luck!

[maslow23]

Well

Thanks Tip. My drinking never reached that level but it certainly was excessive. My wife and kids are coming over tonight and once they leave I don't know how I will handle it. Hopefully a ball game on tv and nothing else. I am upping the L-Glut just for that reason. I have done some bad things and have been punished for the, However, I don't think my "sins" aren't forgivable. Thanks again for the information.

Well

Hi Mas, and well done for trying! Hope your visit with your wife and kids went ok, and that you were fine after. Stay strong!

[maslow23]

Well

Thanks Cathy. They just left and instead of heading right for the bar or store I decided to check in. It's very hard for me, but I will do my best to find the positive in things. I suppose typing this instead of hiding is a positive. I just hope at some point I can be believed that AL is not my focus anymore. Of course, it will always be there in our memories. Thanks to you and everyone on this site. We can do it!!!!

hi maslow23
sounds like you've come a long way in a short time!
congrats!

[maslow23]

Well

Quick note to say I hope everyone has a positive day. I am planning no bumps today, but I know there's no guarentee. At least my mind is clear right now and focused. If I lose focus, I know exactly where I need to be--right here!!!
