Hello, Friends! I am new here but have been lurking long enough to have ordered the book and 6-week supps. It so happens (by the grace of God!) I have been on Topo now for 3 weeks - but my doc insists on an extremely slow titration; week 1 was 25, week 2 - 50 and now week 3 75. I am taking 25 in the a.m. and the other 50 at bedtime. My problem is I am also quite fond of hydro Rx, so the a.m. combo is making me quite off balance! I noticed it for sure in church today as it is day 3. I'm a little nervous about driving tomorrow. One of my "rules" (you know, they make me feel like I'm really OK 
) is not to ever drink and drive (even one) so, based on my wobbliness this a.m., I'm a bit concerned...
I, like many of you have a hubby who couldn't care less about drinking. His dad was in recovery for 11 yrs. It was DH who organized the intervention to get that ball rolling. Needless to say, at times I have felt very much under the microscope by DH, though I'm pretty sure mostly it wasn't intentional. He has thankfully come from his background unscathed and I should be glad, but I oftentimes feel cheated that I feel the need to be so "accountable" to him. However, I have ultimately decided, on my own, I would like as a goal an abstinent lifestyle. It has been so very long since (not countoing 3 pregnancies) that was simply a way of life for me...I would like for DH and me to experience it as a couple, as we did when dating.
FYI: I normally put down a bottle and maybe even an extra glass, EVERY night. Plus 4 hydro/APAP custom compound pain pills throughout the day/night. I've got 3 kiddos I love dearly and they are my focus. I never drive or do anything that would compromise their well-being. (At least not directly - I know that on some level everything I do affects them).
I need help. I am afraid my body/mind is resistant to every Rx/supp. out there, but I am willing to try them all. I want to NOT WANT that drink at the end of the day. Please don't tell me to have a glass of Perrier instead of wine - THAT DOES NOT WORK!!! I guess I don't need to tell y'all that, though!
I am 40ish, married, seeking a sober lifestyle, on 75Topo, ordered book and supps (hypno asap!). Please, any advice at all will be so greatly be appreciated!
Luv to you all!

of drinks help get dinner done and dishes cleaned. my oldest is left out alot so i know what you mean about that also. i haven't had a drink since friday night, and i decided to join the YMCA so someone could watch my kids while i work out and get some "me time " in a better way.i have no idea if i'll keep this up, but we'll see. oh yeah and the topa i ordered isn't coming because they 'rejected my order' supposedly for cc problems but i can't see anything wrong with the info. anyone else have this happen? but that was from globaldrug.tv and they are much more expensive than eshop.rx so it's fine with me. i should get the book soon. sorry for drifting...take care skemps.
