    Hello everyone

    Hello Everyone,

    I have been perusing the forum for about a week and decided to finaly register. :new:

    As I was reading posts after posts, I kept saying " that's me.., I do that, I feel like that " etc... It's comforting to find other people that are going through the same things I am, the same feelings etc..

    I'm 40 years old and I've been drinking every day for about 20 years. My favourite poison is Beer, I LOVE Beer. I rarely do wine and almost never do hard liquor, maybe one or two ceasars a year. But the beer flows like there's no tomorrow at the rate of 50 a week !. I like the taste, the buzz etc..

    But, as these things normally progress, it's an issue and I just can't seem to take care of it by myself. It's ingrained in my brain, my blood, my life and it's all consuming. So after much research on the net and looking at various CDs and programs etc.. I have decided to embark on the MYO program, the book, the CDs, the supplements plus good nutrition and exercise..I'm going to try without the Topomax to start and see how I do. I'll be ordering the whole lot this weekend.

    I do have one question, I was wondering if the supplements are available in powder format ? I simply cannot swallow pills, never could, my current vitamins are powder that I mix in my morning protein shakes.

    I look forward to starting my journey towards abstinence or moderation and will visit this support community often.

    Cheers, !! (umm, probably not appropriate anymore

    Hello everyone

    Welcome Riker. Glad to have you here. A lot of the supplements are in capsule form so you could open them up and pour them in your shake. The All-One is in powder form. Wishing you the best. Keep coming around the boards too as they are a big source of support!!:welcome:

      Hello everyone

      Congratulations on making your first step to either sobriety or to moderation!

      Both the L-Glutamine and the Kudzu are powder filled capsules so I imagine that you could just open them up in a beverage.

      Do you have a hard time with little pills too? If not maybe you could get a pill splitter and split the larger tablets to make them easier to take?

        Hello everyone

        Thank you for the welcome,

        As for small pills, it depends how small the pill is ! very small is not a problem, but other than that it just get's stuck in my throath even with large amounts of water, juice whatever. It's another "thing" that I need to "get over it" and learn to swallow pills.. it's not because a lack of room, it's a mental block thing..

              Hello everyone

              Hey Riker, I'm another beer-lover. It's all I drink (or used to drink, if I can keep up my sobriety). Don't care much about booze or wine but beer was like an IV into my veins, it was so constant. Especially hoppy things like IPA's.

              But, enough reminiscing about the poison. It's done too much harm already to me. Glad you're here, I"m also a newbie finding some new-found inspiration with this whole MWO community.

              Good luck to ya!

                        Hello everyone

                        Hi Riker and :welcome: ,

                        Glad you found this place it, and well done taking your first steps. This place is full of wonderful people who all have great wisdom and insight into your problem so stick around.

                        I've just managed 7 days alcohol free with this place.

                        As for pills I have seen little pill crushers in the chemists so that may help you with anything that it not in capsule form.

                        Good luck on your journey.

                        Kitty

                          Hello everyone

                          Thanks everyone, again, :-)

                          Fire, I'm with you on the beer man, I was a hard core Labatt 50 drinker for 18 years..most of my friends thought I was crazy drinking that "horse Pxxs" as they called it !! but I went on vacation in FL 2 years ago and only drank Bud for 2 weeks, when I came back to Ottawa and had a bunch of 50s it almost killed me !!! well, I mean I felt the worse ever in my life.. so I switched to Carlsberg Light..it's a lot easier on the system.. but I drink just as much if not more of it.. so it's still not a good thing.

                          I * Just * ordered my book and CDs and the Kudzu.. can't wait to get started and finaly kick the living daylights out of this thing.

                            Hello everyone

                            Thanks Kitty,

                            I was going to order the whole lot of supplements, but I think I can get all of them locally and some of them in either powder or liquid, so I only got the Kudzu, which I can't get here. Tomorrow I'm going shopping at the local health food store..

                            And congrats on your 7 days.. I've gone 10 days.. once... 2 years ago..
