Welcome Ohboy and Courage!

Ohboy, I've been AF for 3 weeks; tried topiramate and felt very sleepy, so sticking with kudzu and have the topa on hand to try again if I feel an overpowering urge to drink. Haven't though. I've felt a little sad, but mostly I've felt incredible relief and an unfamiliar sense of calm and purpose. I know it's early days for each of us, but when you wake up tomorrow, and the next day, and the next, with that clear, clear head and lack of shame--really let yourself feel it and marvel that you actually can feel again--say to yourself, "This is worth it." Again, welcome! : )

Hi everyone,

Im new too.. just found this site. Im on day one, Ive actually been trying to give up for a couple of weeks. Going a few days then ruining it but im determined Im going to beat this once and for all.
I usally drink a couple of bottles of wine a night and cant remember a thing ive done, my hubby hates it and i just look ugly when i drink as well as being bad tempered and losing half the day.
Im the worlds worst at drink dialling which has brought me so much embarrasment its just awful.
Im going to read through and hopefully get the courage to keep going one day at a time.
