I started to notice a problem with alcohol when I was using it to help me anaethetise from "life and reality"
When I noticed I was arguing and becoming obnoxious with my partner and not remembering the details of what I had said the night before on more than one occasion, It rang alarm bells.
I made a decision that i did not want to live my life like this and that my alcohol use was the cause of my problems and if i wanted to succeed with any program of moderation then the motivation had to come from within me and not from any outside source. Having said that I needed some tools to help me and after investigating a lot of other programs i turned to this one.
I started using the program a few weeks ago, ordered the supplements and the book and CD's.
I decided also for me and everyone is individual, that moderation would be my goal.
I have stuck with the program and done what is recommended as far as taking the supplements, cd listening and have read the book.
My motivation comes from knowing that if i want to succeed then it is up to me and not anyone else because no one hands me the wine glass and says you have to drink this!
I decide what moderation is for me as i don't believe "one size does fits all".
Drinking in a way that is not being abusive or using the alcohol for other reasons than to be enjoyed and savoured is normal for me and while it might be different for other people because we are all unique then I respect other peoples idea of moderation.
For me this is not something i do for a short time but this is lifetime and I need to be able to live with the boundaries I have implemented.
I also know that using alcohol beyond what is pleasurable and "normal" is masking problems that need to be addressed and that is what i am doing because unless the root cause is not addressed then the process of recovery will be short lived.
I am not using any of the drugs like Toprimate but am using the Kudzu as recommended as well as the other supplements
I have not had any cravings nor have i even thought about having a drink except on the days when i practice moderation. I have not thought about drinking past moderation because I want a life free from guilt, shame and depression.
The CD's are marvellous and the night time one i use on continuous loop all night.
I really thank the creator of this program for giving me especially a Way Out
