    Not quite as I had hoped so far...

    Hi there...I'm new too. I've been taking supplements and Topa for one week, waiting for miracles to happen! I could so easily relate to Roberta's story, and I think my hopes were a high for my experience to be just like hers. It's not. I did notice subtle changes, however...a slight decrease in my desire for the usual evening drink (well...drinks plural), not that it stopped me. Except for 2 nights, no drinks. And the next morning following those two nights, I felt great. It amazed me.

    The CDs arrived today, and I'll up the Topamax this week too. Just need to be patient, stay optimistic and remember this is an integrated program...all parts are necessary. Just wish it was faster.

      Welcome Sophie! I think the key to a lot of this is really, really being in the right head space to want to do this. None of these supps or drugs are going to be a magic pill but they will help decrease the cravings, and the rest is up to you and your determination. I think a lot of us want the quick fix, because alcohol is a quick fix when we need it to be, but cutting back and/or quitting is not as easy as that. It WILL get easier though as you keep at it. Let us know how you are doing, okay??

          Hi Sophie,
          I don't want to put a damper on things, but, miracles happen straightaway, what you are about to undertake will take time, effort and dedication....As you said, after going AF for two nights you felt amazing the next morning, well imagine feeling like that EVERY MORNING, and you can....Stick with the MWO programme, it really will help you if you are determined enough to want to stop....

          Take care, Louise.

            HI Sophie and :welcome:

            Like everyone else says, for me best thing is waking up the following morning feeling good, Keeping busy on here helps me too.

              My name is Sophie too, so extra big welcome. The best thing for me when I started the program eight months ago was that I didn't hate myself any more. I knew that I was doing something finally, and I threw myself into the program. Topa was a great blessing, but it also made me sick, so I couldn't take it. Still, the best part was, as you say, waking up without having to feel like a failure. Remind yourself of that every morning.

                Hi Sophie
                Welcome!!!! I was one of the victims of wishing it was a miracle cure as well. It takes time and committment and the reminder of how much better each day is when you wake up feeling good. Knowing that you have treated your body well. Keep posting and reading. Good luck

                  nice to hear from you

                  Thanks so much to all who replied...I was pleasantly surprised. As I read through the postings, I find so many similarities. I'll keep going, keeping in mind the mornings when I felt good. It can happen every day, you say?

                  Tried one day of the hypnosis CDs. I'm not sure what to expect, so I think I might have fallen asleep. But woke up refreshed at the countdown. I'm so curious now.

                  Again...your replies were most welcome.:flower:
