Day 4 for me. Not looking forward today to a cortisone injection in my back, but I hope it will bring some relief.

hey everybody,
day 2 nearly finished for me.
i'm feeling ok , but have made a fairly surprising discovery.
i've recommenced my kudzu, @ 600 mg twice daily. & it has REALLY helped with my anxiety! i drove this a.m into town completely CALM, no noise in my head, no business,just QUIET .....wow! & it's not the ad's cos i only just got 'em today.... feels nice anyhow.
sunbeam , sympathies for nasty injection into back uchy: - hang tight,grit teeth & hope you get through it ok! I'll hold your cyber-hand

Morning ODATers

Day 4 for me. Slept well...took a 5-htp and a melatonin last night and slept through the night and woke up feeling good. Day 4-6 or usually the worst with withdrawl, but I'm dosing on Supplements (L-Glute and Kudzu) and drinking lots of water with fresh lemon (per Sheri's recommendation). It's working so far.

Hang in there all! Later when the demon shows up....just say NO....I don't drink!!

Hi

Hi all day 7 for me here and feeling good

[brightlite]

ODAT Wed 25 Aug

Hi Beagle,

I take a 1000mg of L-glute in the morning and another around 4pm with 600mg (2 capsules) of Kudzu. I don't have my MWO book anymore so not sure if that is the correct dosing, but it seems to help....so I'm sticking with it.

Jodi Congrats on Day 7!

thanks brightlite. i think i'll get some to add to my kudzu also.
here's to another day everyone.
nighttime here in Oz-land,cool, calm, onto my 2nd glass warm milk ( don't anyone tell me to stay off dairy!!) & nearly to bed as Cinders put some dodgy sleep dust over on the Underoos thread & made everyone pass out...
i'll check in with all tomorrow.
have great day all you in the Northern Hemisphere.

Goodmorning All,

I need to get out of my house soon, before the kids drive me up a wall, they will not stop bickering, but anyway today is day 80 AF, hard to believe. It's really nice not always thinking about alcohol. I can hardly believe summer is almost over, really really enjoying it being AF, much more than I ever did being buzzed.

Have a great af day!

Good afternoon all
Feeling pretty good today. Just made my list of things to take care of this week. Looking forward to marking them off, although I should have started Monday! Hope everyone has an easy time reaching their daily goals! Today I will not drink!

Well, my cortisone shot in my back seemed to go well, at least I seem to not be experiencing any of the undesired effects. They said to take it easy, so I'm sitting on the patio reading one of those time-wasting murder mysteries. No driving or hot tub - I actually have the latter. I am defintely not tempted to dig into the THREE CASES of wine hubby bought while I was having my shot. He drinks moderately, more power to him. I just don't want to deal with the struggle any more.
