Just found this site by accident but I'm glad I have. I'm an alcoholic who is desperate to quit for the sake of himself and also his loved ones. I've been a drinker in various degrees of excess since I was about 16. To date drink has cost me my first marriage, my job, my car, my driving licence, nearly all my assets and just recently had left me homeless, with my new girlfriend whom I love more than life itself about to leave me if I don't stop. I am desperate to stop now, I've joined AA and attend as many meetings as physically possible, I've sought medical advice but my GP here in Cyprus cannot prescribe me Antabuse or Disulfuram, both of which I have taken in the past with some degree of success. I stopped drinking for 2 years and only started again earlier this year but with disastrous effects. I've been in sobriety now for 5 days and the initial cravings have passed but it's very difficult because other members of the household drink openly in front of me, however, this is my last chance I think to prove to myself that I can do it and so here I am !!! Wish me luck!

My Way Out + AA has been my formula for sobriety so far. Glad you found us! Have you read the My Way Out book? You might find some of the nutritional deficiency information interesting and helpful in your quest. I suggest finding some daily sobriety threads and getting involved. I post regularly in the Daily AF Thread and also the Weekly AA Thread both of which can be found in the Monthly Abstinence section of the forum.
