    Hi, I was in this site last year as Northwoods. I had a great summer AL free. Then in Oct. my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. I Know it was no excuse but my first reaction was to go to the liquor store and buy some rum. Now here it is a year later and I am back where I started. My wife is doing fine after treatment, although it will be with us forever. Quarterly checkups and lot's of expense. That being said, I have really immersed myself in AL. I am sick of it and from it. I am ready for another free run. It sucks waking up feeling crappy and having it last until mid-day. I ordered the book and it arrived today. Tomorrow it will be read. I have some KUDZU and will get some L-Glutimaine tomorrow. Last time I was here there was lot's of support and I appreciated it. Then I thought I was on my way to better things. I need to get back on track!!! I want to get back on track!!! So anyone ? let me know your thoughts and support, I definetely need it. Know that I am not so oriented with this site, so I hope it all is very self explanatory.
    Looking for support.

    MTman, welcome back. I am glad to hear that your wife is doing well after treatment. I agree with you about not wanting to wake up feeling like crap and wasting so many days, not to mention wasting our own health. I think you will find the site pretty user friendly. All the best MTman, you can do it, one day at a time.

      I can totally relate to feeling like crap until mid-day. It sounds like you're really ready to be sober again. That's great. Hope to see you around the site!! Have a great day. I'm glad your wife is doing good. How scary that would be.

            Congrats on making the decision to get AF again. I too was sober for a long period of time and then started drinking again. It took me about 7 months of drinking to get to the point where you are and I wanted my life back. This site has been a great help, I ordered and read the book, take the supplements and listen to the hypnotherapy CDs and I'm feeling like my old sober self again. Congrats on your wife's success with her treatment and you'll be able to be more support for her. Take it easy, be good to yourself, and I find posting really helps me, I can also go back and look at what I wrote, which helps as well. There is alot of action going on in the chat room at around 7:00 pm and the "toolbox" has alot of really great information that helped me as well. Take care and keep us posted on how you are doing!

                  Thanks everyone for the welcom. I am ready to begin. And I will be using this forum for support, it really does help. Read most of the book down to the program side. I have used Kudzu in the past, don't know if it really helped me. Amino acids did I think reduce craving. I have one Hypnotherapy CD that I really like. I am wodering if I should purchase one of the packages offered from the store? Any input from those that have tried them would be helpful.
