Hello
I'm new - I just found this site last week and have been lurking a bit. I ordered the book, and some supplements. I don't plan to start on any medications. I've been drinking excessively for many years, just at night, to relax of course. But I always feel guilty, and unhealthy. I've tried to cut back before, it never lasts. The thought of giving it up completely is very scary. I started last week by saying I would have at most 1 drink per night. I've been feeling irritable, screamed at the husband a few times, tension headches every day. But I actually have been AF for 4 days - it was easier to do that, because then I wasn't obsessing about when I have would have that one drink, and how I would deal with wanting another one right after. My long-term goal is moderation, but for now it feels like I should abstain (though that could change at any moment!) I'm having trouble falling asleep, and have been taking over-the-counter sleep aid for that. I'm hopng the kudzu and l-glutamine will help with the cravings. OK I'm rambling now so I'll stop. Oh, my husband is stopping and/or cutting back as well, though he's not interested in the forums. He said he'll try the supplements, but I'm not sure that will last long.
Bye for now
