New and scared.....

May be two weeks total.. I'm not doing any of the supps or anything nor the tapes or books, I am trying this myself first. I've had some slip ups, but not nearly as bad as it would have been before. I'm finding myself stronger now then before, it's nice to know that you're not alone and you're not the only one fighting to be strong. I find that helps, well, it helps me anyway. And the people are really really nice and very inspiring (I know i spelt that wrong)... I have been really focusing on being a good mom and making sure I am there for my child. I have caved a couple times and grabbed the bottle of red but I find I don't beat myself up so much anymore about it, and since then I find I am wanting it less. And it has been because I have becoming here, sometimes you just need that extra helping hand.. PM me anytime you want. There are lots of people on here with children and know the stress that comes along with being a parent.

Hi Buck,

Just wanted to put my two cents in about how wonderful the kudzu/l-glut combo has worked for me as well as many others here. There is no comparison to the kudzu you can buy on this site. I have tried the health store version and it made no difference. You can do this. Keep posting!!!

Welcome Buck!

As they have all said, if you want it, come read the posts, read the book, get the supps, the CDs. Stick around and post often. We are all here to help support each other.

Hi Buckle:
I've been here for about two months. I am using the Topa, the All One and the Kudzu. I was using the Milk Thistle but it gave me headache. Glad you got the Topa, it has really helped me. I never thought that anything would make the cravings go away, you know, just make that crazy voice that told me I needed a drink stop. But it did. My doc said that if she gave me the Topa then I needed to see a shrink to see why I started drinking in the first place, but I think that is a fair trade. Best of luck to you.

Hi Buckle. I read your post the first day you posted it, but at that time, I didn't feel like I could be much help. I just unloaded on the board, and am feeling a little better now thanks to the support of everyone here.

First of all - WELCOME. This is a great place to come for help, support and comfort. Secondly, I can relate to what you are going through. I also fear that alcohol is going to ruin me and my family. I watched my father and my step mother drink themselves into ruins for so many years. It floors me that I could follow that same path. I do know one thing for sure though... I don't want my kids to think that it's normal to drink in excess, or to drink every day, or to drink to get drunk. I don't want them to see me visit the liquor cabinet several times a day, every day. I don't want to hide in my room, away from my family so I can drink. I want them to live a different life than that. I want them to understand what I didn't.

You can do this as long as you stay determined. Our kids are well worth it. When you need some extra support, just log in and start reading and posting.

Best of Luck and hope to hear from you again soon.
