i am guessing that not everyone here is on a particular program of recovery...?
or are most on the supplements and using the cd's?
i just stumbled upon this place.

have been looking for a new spot to blog.

:thanks:

Fearless,

what I like about this place is that it allows us to take our own approach. Some people do the meds, supps, Cds - the whole kit and kaboodle. Others take aspects of RJ's programme and tweak it to suit themselves.

Whichever way you go - I think the common goal is to stop feeling bad about how much we drink/drank.

Nobody pushes total abstinence. Nobody says that moderation is the way to go. We all find out own place and I personally find it a nice place to be.

:new: I just wanted to start out by saying hi to everyone. I first was browsing a book shop a few months ago and found this wonderful book. Instantly, I knew this program was for me. I guess I'd be considered a binge drinker. I don't drink every day or even every two to three or four days but when I do, I really out do myself. I'm really tired of the way I feel the next morning, headache, nausea, and not remembering a damn thing. Those fews nights, whether few and far between caused me to lose my license well over a year ago.
Yesterday was my first day taking the vitamins and medication. I'm not yet doing the cds as being a single mother have not a lot of money. I have decided to go with drinking in moderation and hope it's a good choice for myself. Controlling how much I drink when I do has always been my downfall.
I look forward to building relationships with all of you struggling with my same addiction. I believe a huge part of the process is having the support and shoulders of others to lean on.
I do have one question on the side effects of the topamax. I was wondering if any of you had any sleepliness and nightmares throughout the night? Last night was my first night but it was very restless and horrifying. I must have only gotten two hours of sleep the entire night.
I would appreciate any comments and feedback that any of you have to offer and look forward to speaking with all of you!

Welcome aboard Mystical!

I don't take topa but I'm sure the others will help. Maybe you could try posting another post in the General chat section. Don't be shy. This is a great place.

Welcome Mystical!! This is a great place to get the support you need. Are you taking kudzu and/or l-glut? They seem to work for myself and alot of other people here. I'm doing AF because I know I can't moderate. I've tried many times, just can't do it. For me 1 is too many and 100 is not enough! We will help you do whatever you want. Good luck and keep coming back..

Hi & Welcome!

Yes, everyone takes a little or the whole thing & tweaks it to their liking. Some do the Topa/Campral/other meds/just supps/cds. You name it.

Glad you found us.
