i really want this to work

[gypsy girl]

:new: and I have never joined any on line forum or chat group before but a couple of days ago I found the my way out site and it seemed to offer something that I think I need, which is help to reduce my drinking down to acceptable and safe levels. I really don't want to have to stop altogether and I hope that it hasn't got to that point yet but when I am not at owrk- at the weekend perhaps if there is wine in the house I alwys drink more than I mean to and i don't like what it does to me. i had a serious operation a few years ago to avoid early breast cancer because i wanted to see my children grow up and why am I doing this to myself? I know what it is like if your mother dies early as my mother died of cancer when i was 22 and I don't want o put my children through that and I know that by drinking the levels I do that i probably am.
The support I am sure I will get here has got to help; hasn't it? Please?

Hello Gypsy, I joined today after hesitating for a few weeks and I feel the same as you, that this site offers me what I need to quit drinking. good luck to both of us.

Hi Gypsy & :welcome:

I promise you that the support that you will get WILL help you ...

When I came here three months ago I was a wreck, drinking at least 3 bottles of wine a day, every day!

I now only drink at weekends, and not till at least 7pm, and only have 3-4 glasses of wine ...

Good luck

Hi Gypsi and welcome again...I just welcomed you in the mods boards too

I also have children and one of the biggest motivators getting me here was them. I wanted to be there for them and to remember their childhood. I was at a point of not remember most nights. I knew I was not in a healthy state...I couldn't have been. I recently went back and read my first post here. I am so thankful I found this site.

Keep posting and reaching out for help. The people here are incredibly helpful and open. They will take the time to offer support, their experiences and knowledge. It does work!

Take Care

Welcome Gypsy Girl! I also have children and have developed a drinking problem. I have just joined a few days ago and am on day 4 of not drinking at all. I can totally relate to your concerns about your job and the stress drinking has with that and having a serious medical condition which alcohol could really jeporadize. It sounds like you are recognizing you have a problem and that is actually a huge step. I hope you stick around and we can all help you.

Day one

well here i am with my first day of abstinence. i took 2 kudzu and 1 5-HTP last night along with 1 naltrexone. i slept like a baby as the 5-HTP really made me sleepy. i have a couple questions, how many kudzu's do most of you take and how often?

anyway the naltrexone and kudzu's seem to really help with the craving or desire i usually experience.

please everyone wish me success as honestly this alcohol problem is the only miserable thing in my life.

thank you

Hello Gypsy, and you too Lucky One,
Thanks for coming.

Gypsy, if you have family history of cancer that's another good reason to cut down or abstain (sorry, don't mean to be a nag). this is my first forum too and it's been just wonderful and enlightening.
