I just started this committment to try to quit drinking. I didn't drink Monday night. Last night I went to dinner with my kids, grandkids,(which can be a trigger point because I love wine with dinner)and yes, I had two glasses of wine with dinner. I go home and I want another glass of wine, but I don't have any wine at home, I only have beer which I don't want. Plus, I think I spent 2 hours in the gym today because I really want to get rid of this extra tire around my middle, so why drink and back pedal. Think healthy! I just found out from the pharmacy that my doctor finally did call in the topamax. He was reluctant to do so, so I faxed him articles on it yesterday morning. He called in 50 mg, twice a day, that's a lot isn't it? I think the book says to start with 25 mg. Any how I feel good, the vitamins help SO much. I ordered everything, the entire package, CD's and all the vitamins. I am amazed how much better my energy level is. Plus I used to get hot flashes, I attributed to my age, 46, and maybe starting menopause, BUT, I have had zero hot flashes since I have been taking the vitamins. Can anyone explain that? Plus, I think going to the gym will be key in my sucess over alcohol. When we went last night, it was like social hour, we know people, we joke, (we, I go with my oldest daughter who is 23). We know most of the trainers and because they like us so much they train us (oh, my daughter is a hoot, plus she is mega hot) for free at times. So this replaces my social hour at the bar. I need to get back to who I used to be.
Any how, I did get on a tangent, here, my parents are flying in tomorrow night and I am scared to death. Why do they have to come now?, just when I feel I am doing good with alcohol. See, my parent's are religous zealots, my Mom, so get's on my nerves, I always get smashed when they are in town. I so hope the topamax will get me thru this, what other coping methods are there?
Oh, also, I was wondering if I take Celexa, do I need to take the Calms forte? Or if I take the calms forte do I need to take the celexa. Celexa helps me manage stress.
