Conquoring day 1!!! Who's beating this with me?

Hello to all!
Bc... MWO... Hope you are doing well.

We had a huge day yesterday.... Including driving several hours to see a long awaited concert with the boys. This was their first big concert and it was really an awesome experiene ( one I will remember ). I did share a beer with hubby and have a crappy overpriced margarita. Stayed completely in control... I consider the evening a complete success. Thankfully have the day off today and lots to keep us busy.

The anxiety is way down and the 5 days af did me good. I will be adding more as days go on. Not yet at the point that I am wanting to go totally without it is too stressful.

Wish me luck!
E!

Hi, All. I ordered the MWO Subscription and the Extreme Starter Pack a few minutes ago. I'm a little concerned that it seems, other than the MWO "patients" the site hasn't been updated (or at least parts of it, including "Important Updates" since 2008. I really hope to get my products early next week.

I want to control my drinking. Haven't decided if I need a period of abstinence or not, but definitely want to control my drinking and be in control when my twins are born in early August. I'm hoping they send the link to download the free PDF of the MWO book today!

Good luck to all on this journey!

Hey dave
First of all welcome. The people here are really awesome... Mostly non-judgmental and all very supportive. You are certainly welcome to post here on conquering as needed.

I recommend getting all the alcohol totally out of your system for a few days to a week and then plan from there. From my experience... It is impossible to attempt to moderate your consumption with out being a little clean. And quite frankly... Even though I am trying to moderate again... Not sure I will have success. Best of luck and keep in touch.
Enough!

By the way... Super congrats on the twIns! You will need every little bit of energy and a hang
over is not conducive to sleep deprecation ...

Thanks! I know what your saying about abstinence, but also want to read the book. Wish they could just send a link to the pdf that's included in my purchases.

Have a great weekend all. I know I'm going Tequilla free, and will be very closely watching the beer intake....will let you know how I make out.

Hi everybody, although I haven't posted have read posts most days and kept up with everybody's progress drawing strength from them all. Have also explored site and programme in greater depth and would just like to mention also that some areasdo not appear to have been updated for four years. I've just tried buying the book through my kindle and can't get it!

Things as normal with me but starting day 1 again short term goal ODAT in order to hit July running and fully committed. Best wishes to you all - all I can do is to keep trying. X

Hi, Patricia. I joined as a subscriber yesterday, got the book in PDF form last night (and finished this morning!) and also ordered the 6 week extreme starter kit. Plan to start when it arrives. I'm meeting my doc in about half an hour.

Since I admitted to myself that I have a problem that I need to address, I feel better and have been drinking less, but nowhere near where I want to be. Should be interesting, I'm going to try talking to the Pscyhiatrist that treats my adult ADD, and is also a rehab counselor. I'm ready for him to tell me AA or a 12 step program is the only way, but I want to try On My Own. Hopefully I can get his support, and get him to prescribe the Topiramate, though I'm concerned about the increasing dosages in the later weeks of the program.

I too am put off by the fact that many of the pages haven't been updated in years. I wonder if the founder didn't sell the sight and the program?

Hi all! Just a quick check in to say hi and see how everyone's doing tonight?

It's day 39 for me (it still amazes me each and every day that the days continue going in the right direction!) but I've actually had craving today and yesterday that snuck up on me. I literally had to talk myself out of what felt like truly entertaining 'enjoying' a glass of wine, but I know all too well that there is no enjoying just one for me! One bottle would be more like it, but then I would not in any way be enjoying anything....especially myself!

So, onward!

Sorry that I'm not especially good at responding to folks individually for the most part, but please know that I read all the posts and really gain inspiration from all of you.

Take care, and keep fighting! Remember the first word of the title of this thread...Conquering!

Hi Bc.....39 days is awesome! Pat yourself on the back for talking yourself out of the cravings you faced yesterday and today. I can't wait for the day when I can say that I am 39 days!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!
