Yesterday would have been day 3 for me, but I succumbed. Once again, I drank until I passed out and woke up feeling horrible. :upset: I haven't ordered any supplements yet, but I would like to today. Does anyone have advice on which supplements work the best? I've got an appointment with my doctor on Monday and will start the naltrexone again. With the help of the naltrexone, I did 30 days last October. I'm going to be sober again starting today! I won't give up!!!

Good for you for not giving up & trying Nal again.

MWO recommends: for cravings

Kudzu 900-3,000 mg a day
L-Glutamine 1,000-3,000 mg a day

Good luck.

Don't feel so all alone, Aquos! It happens to the best of us - I won't even go into details.

Let me just say that the next time you quit for a period of time, it will be easier. If you haven't tried the hypno tapes, I highly recommend them.

And move into a bubble with no human contact. I think that's what I need to do.

I agree with what Breez said. Make sure the Kudzu is the one from this site. It is the highest quality you can get. Those two supps, along with the right mindset, can really kill those cravings.....

And I also agree with Barb on the CDs. They helped me a lot as well.

Aquos,
I've tried this before and didn't take the supplements religiously...this time I got all of the supplements and have been taking them right on schedule according to the updated program schedule posted on the site...it seems to be helping. I purchased all of my supplements from vitacost.com...they seemed to have the best price out there. I am also using Topa this time.

i know how it feels, i did 5 days, i was feeling proud, but then i gave in also, i keep on trying, right now i feel like crap once again, hate myself, i'm at the point that i want to die, i give up, sorry-dont you give up! it's terrible to feel like this, as you know, i wish i had more strenth. i know my mood will be more possitive once this fog is gone-it's not worth it anymore-drink and waste time, waste health, it's all a waste

YOU MUST NEVER GIVE UP, every episode of sobriety is good. At least you are NOT in denial, these things take time........... please read my just starting out, this is not a quick fix thing, and you have to just keep trying........... you are doing extremely well if you go one day without............. hugs Julia xx

Good point Julia!!! One day without is better than one day with...no matter how you look at it. Sorry you are feeling down Katie and Aquos, but try to do it again. Get back on track. When you are done kicking yourself in the butt for drinking again, kick yourself in the butt and get back in gear. You can do this. I know you can!

Hi Folks,
This is my first posting. I have some topiramate on order from Aclepsa (taking forever)
I read the Lancet Study info regarding dose and result with the start 25mg for the 1st week
than building to the 150-200mg range. 1st off, has anyone had experience with this supplier, receiving the real stuff is important and second, has anyone suggetions regarding dosing. Aquos, relapse is part of this game, as is self loathing. It's the chicken and egg thing.
Do I drink because I'm depressed or am I depressed because I drink. The anwser is yes to both.

Hi, does anyone know if we can get these medicines in the UK?

Angellina,
A few of the web sites I visited when I first looked into Topamax/Topiramate were from the UK. I was afraid my doctor wouldn't go along with a experimental program so I've chosen the self med thing. SURPRISE SURPRISE, Old habits die hard. Anyway, Topa is prescribed for migraines. Perhaps if you need a script you could take that rute.

You can order med's online if you don't want to go through your doctor or the supp's from here. Aclepsa.com :: Generic Medications Superstore seems to be the most affordable.

Thanks, I am not sure if I need them yet but I have never gone longer than 2 days without drinking, so maybe I do. I will keep the website ref. tho.

I never wanted to admit I had a problem before tho!

I wasn`t pushed, I jumped!!!

Hi Aquos,
Don`t go getting upset just because you didn`t managed your 3rd night of abs. Instead, view this as a learning experience, and hang on to the positive, like congratulating yourself on managing to go abs for 2 days.

Look at me now...........have had a temporary set-back(haven`t failed), on this, which was supposedly my 2nd night of abs. Have a big problem in my life at mo., but am not allowing that problem to be "my excuse"!!!

Am drinking tonight, because I chose to...........noone forced me, but have now learned to be calm, and hope I can do abs again tomorrow........

My thoughts are with you,
Starlight Impress

I ordered 200 pills of 25 mg and got 50 pills of 100 mg! So you might not get what you ordered. It took 3-4 weeks to get to me.
