My Birthday Present

[Greta]

Today is my Birthday and I had an appointment with a psychiatrist. I took MWO with me and asked him to work with me to slowly come off achohol. He spent some time going through the book and said OK. What a great birthday present. He does want me to go to an AA meeting every day, but that is OK. I am sure I will be reaching out to you here for support. I start the topamax tommorow, he also gave me buspirone to relax me.

Thanks everyone for your support. I went to my first AA meeting yesterday and I am not sure I get it. People tell their stories......
I am going again today in a little bit but am not sure I understand. Maybe that it what I should say when it comes my turn to talk.
Took 25 mg Topamax yesterday and felt relaxed. He wants me to take 50 mg today.
Does anyone have the CD's that they aren't using anymore that I could buy? I can't believe they want $5 shipping for 3 week delivery. I can't wait three weeks. And why don't they have MP3 format?

Listen to me I am complaining already. LOL

Got to get ready for my meeting, will keep in touch.

The second AA meeting was totally different than the first. It was sort of like being here. The people talked about what helped them get sober mostly and it was a different crowd. I will go to that meeting from now on. They give coins away at the end of the meeting and one of them is for 24 hours. I spoke up and said I have been working the MWO program for 24 hours but I am not sober. A couple people spoke up and said she is determined for 24 hours so give her a coin. So embarrassing, they were all clapping while I walked up to get my coin and the gentleman hugged me and many people shook my hand on the way back to my seat. One guy said, put that coin in your mouth and when it melts will have a drink together. Nice group, I think I found a home. Besides this home.

Hi Greta,

That must be an AA saying about the coin melting that is. A guy came up to me on my first meeting and said the same thing! I did a double take on your location to see if maybe we were going to the same meetings! But nope, I'm a lot furter north.

So glad you're posting here. This is a great community! Stay close!
