Adaptable: I think that when we stop drinking, we're suddenly feeling a lot of built-up emotions. These are the feelings we've been trying to avoid w/drink. Keep on...you're doing great. Eventually, we'll feel more comfortable in our own skin. It's been a while since I haven't tried to numb all my feelings.

Hope you don't mind me joining you. I have not actually managed any AF days but have got to the point when I have to give it a go and don't think I can do it on my own. My husband is really really supportive but because he can stop drinking after one glass he doesn't realise why it is such a problem for me. Maybe we can all do it together!!

Hi Cochinelle, Welcome to MWO. This is a great place to be for help and support. Have you read the MWO book and thought about the supplements and CDs to help you?
Glad to have you here.

Hi all! Count me in! I had 5 AF days last week, then some that were not so good. It's harder because my Topa hasn't arrived yet. Still, I want to commit to at least 30 days - maybe 60 if I'm feeling really good. So this is Day 1. It's nice to see you all here.

Hello all, thought I'd drop by to pay you a visit... For about 15 years I drank way too much.. I found MWO like yourselves and it has changed my life. I would like to strongly suggest the Kudzu Rescue from MWO... I've never taken topa, but this kudzu totally worked on my cravings... I like the fact that it doesn't have side effects and after about 1.5 weeks I wasn't taking anymore atall.... You guys are doing so great. I'm so proud of you all !!! Isn't it awesome to know that someone truely understands us ? Bye for now,

Thanks goingsobermum. Great name by the way. I have three boys! I did read the book last year but seem to be the only person on the planet who did not really like it. It all seems a bit too good to be true. Probably just jealous! Have tried campral. Too embarrassed to go and get the pills because I live in a small village and nobody knows about my dirty secret. Still I think that together we can do it. Managed one day AF -wow! and am determined to continue. Do not want to look like a blobby whale on holiday! Good luck to everyone for today!

Good Morning All,

Day 4 AF. Feel good but tired. Still some cravings. Reading and posting on these boards really does help.

Have a great day.

Baccus, we all know exactly how you feel. I did the same thing last weekend. The important thing is that we keep trying. Together we can do this.

I"m in... at least for one day at a time. I've been drinking less since visiting here, but still too much. This morning I'm an emotional wreck - extremely depressed. But I"m a mom, I have to snap out of this. And hopefully make it through the work day without sobbing. I'm so sick and tired of living like this.
Tomorrow I have a physical with my doc. Going to tell her everything, and ask for topa (and ask that she not put the drinking on my medical records). I'm frightened of liver damage, diabetes, losing brain cells, heart disease, continiuing to gain weight (OMG I have never been so overweight and I disgust myself). I want to have energy to keep my house clean, clarity to excell at my work, more patience and compassion with my daughter.

Hi Imatree,

I've ordered the Topa over the internet - don't think I can get it here in UK. I've really never considered medication before but having read some of the posts about it I thought it was worth a try. Now I'm actually looking forward to getting it - whenever it eventually arrives, I think it can take weeks. This is my 4th day AF and I am craving a little, but I know I won't drink today. I had slipped back a little recently and was drinking a bottle of wine every other evening - so this is my longest run off it for a while. Am using Kudzu and reading lots here and that has helped. Good luck with your doctor. Lets keep going!
