Hi Ive been lurking for a while and thought its about time I posted. Im a mother to 3 and drinking that many bottles of wine a night. I cant remember the last a/f night. My husband is about to kick me out because of my drinking.

I went to my doctor and he told me to cut down to 2 glasses a night. He said it should be easy for me. NOT.

Anyway looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hi Kazzi and :welcome: I can relate - it was nothing for me to put down 3 bottles of wine a day myself. Cut back to 2??? Impossible. For me, I have learned that NONE is far far easier than trying to "control" something that for me, is just uncontrollable.

Downloading the book is a great place to start. Strength and hope to you!

Hi Kazzi,

Welcome to MWO, this is a good place!
If you haven't already, read the MWO book. You can download it from the Health Store, it explains the components of the program. I highly recommend the Hypnotherapy CDs. They were very helpful in learning to relax without AL.

Please feel free to drop in the Newbies Nest thread for support.
I had a pretty good wine habit going my self but you can quit if you really want to. It takes work & commitment on your part but you'll never be sorry

Wishing you the best on your journey!

Hi Kazzi - congratulations on your move to join MYO. I have only recently joined, but it already feels like a place where I can make much needed progress. Some doctors can be so disengaged. Keep posting and reading!

My GP, a very smart and intelligent woman, explained to me that doctors get very little training in medical school on addiction of any kind. I think she said 15 hours?

Luckily, she knows what it is all about and has never suggested I try to moderate. :H:H

She is hesitant to help me because she says she just doesn't know enough about it other than the usual AA recommendation.

But, she is behind me all the way and supportive of me trying meds to help. She is a very kind soul.
