HiRC~

Get the book (can be down loaded), read it. It suggests supplements as well as taking meds (Topamax or others take Campral) and hypnosis cd's. Staying close to the boards helps as we try to help each other as best we can.

Poke around & read a little.

Glad you found us.

Hi and Welcome Rainbow!!!

I was going to suggest the same thing about reading the book and trying the supplements and the CDs. This program really addresses the biochemical issues of a drinker's brain. You can do this. We are here to help you break the cycle.

Hi and welcome....your here and support is just a type away! come here everyday, or every hour...whatever you need to get you help! Read her book and get yourself some supplements in hand. Even go to the local book store and get self help books...they really hit the nail on the head! (atleast for me they did) I never thought I would ever get to this point of being an alcoholic...but I am here and getting rid of it! My daughter and mother even go to alanon-meetings! so, stay here and get all the help you desire....were here for you!

This is the kindest, gentlest place -- a great place to quit drinking and start living. I haven't been at this real long (39 days AF) but find that the book, the boards and kudzu have really helped. I haven't yet used the CDs but plan to when, and IF, I ever decide to try moderation (something at which I have not been very good at in the past).
Welcome! You are going to love being a part of this.

Hi rainbow,
As has been said, you shouldn't hate yourself.
It's hard to see just now I know, but inside every problem drinker and alcoholic here, there is a kind and decent person just bursting to have a proper life.
You have done a lot today to help yourself along the road to peace.
Stay with us a while and I'm sure you will come out of the experience feeling miles better about yourself.

:welcome:
