hello everyone,
Joined yesterday - aiming for moderation.
Have been drinking a bottle of wine or 3/4 bottle most nights. Feeling tired all the time.

Aiming for 3-4 days with no drinking each week

I am taking kudzu - does this work for anyone ?

Fair,

Yes, it helps a lot, along with the GABA and the L Glut. Especially since your drinking is not that excesssive, you may not need Topa, which does, I hear, make people tired even though it works on the drinking.

Good luck.

Hi Fair and welcome....
I used to take Kudzu, I haven't had a drink since 30th Sept last year now and like you I was a bottle of wine a night person.....If I managed to go 1 or 2 nights without drinking then I made up for it by drinking 2 bottles of wine the next time I drank....The first couple of weeks were the worst, I stopped taking Kudzu just after Christmas...It worked very well to help cut down on the cravings for a drink, but, touch wood, I don't get so many now, although I still keep some handy just in case.....Well, hope you are successful with it all, keep posting as everyone here is so supportive and there is always someone to help you...

All the best,

Louise..

Well done indeed fairweather...and definately Irishlady. I worked last night so had 1 day AF. Today, my day off, I had some refurb to take care of and then evening classes so I thought I'd be sufficiently engaged. No. Twas not to be. Bottle of wine to the good. Crap.

Oh dear obzpodboy, Never mind, at least you are still here and posting..... And as Scarlet O'Hara said in Gone With The Wind...Tomorrow is another day....

Thanks for all your words of support. This is the first time I have told anyone how much I was drinking. some of my friends will drink as much as me when we are out socially but I think they don't drink like me at home alone
I worked out I was drinking over 3 times the UK recommended limits per week.
Managed an AF day yesterday and have no wine in the flat so will be another one tonight.

I am trying St johns wort with kudzu - have seen some research that it has reduced drinking in rats !

Hope everyone else is having a good day.

Hi, I have ordered some through the mail last week....so I will let you know!

Hi and welcome.
Yep, I find the kudzu works well. I'm only taking 3 capsules a day as also on Campral.
I was drinking twice your amount every night for many years, and have now been going 4 days AF and moderate drinks Fri - Sun. So stay with it. I still feel tired, but that's because I stay up late reading. It's a more refreshing tired though. Hope you achieve your goals. There are many here who will give you support and encouragement.
