I have been coming here regularly since 5/19. Tonight my husband and I, who recently entered marriage counseling, had a discussion which I got very upset about. Usually I would drink a whole bottle of wine at home. I immediately thought of a drink, said no, took some kudzu and L-glut and went down to a local restaurant because I needed to get out for a bit. I did end up ordering a small dessert and one glass of wine and water. Drank most of the water first, slowly sipped the wine, had absolutely no desire for more, came home and have no craving, even with an open bottle of wine in the refrig (my husband opened it Mon). It has got to be the cds - I'm only on day 3 of topa. This is amazing. Hallelulah!

i would have grabbed that bottle by the neck and done one of two things
poured it down my throat (no glass required)
poured it down the sink
it would have been a split second reaction. note i did not say decision.
well done louise, remember that feeling that you made the choice :goodjob:Comment

Dear Louise,
So glad you are going to counseling and that the CD's and topa are helping you through. GREAT JOB!!
Identifying your triggers are a huge hurdle in the task of finding and maintaining sobriety.
Hugs,

Thank you all so much for your support! It is a beautiful sunny day and I feel fabulous! And I am going to celebrate by taking all my vitamins, exercising, eating healthy and not drinking! And maybe going shopping for a new outfit even though I have not lost any weight! P.S Hubby and I are speaking and even managed to have a laugh this morning. I asked him to please drink that open bottle of wine in the fridge just in case it might become tempting and he happily agreed to do so.Comment

Thanks for sharing your experience, Louise. I truly believe success at this battle has to do with a combination of healthier living, counseling, and the support of the wonderful support of the MWO community. Congratulations!

What a huge success! You are an inspiration. Thanks for letting us share in your celebration. You've got it now - exercise, good nutrition, feeling great - that's the magic recipe (plus a crapload of garlic, of course - re: Determinator).
Congratulate yourself.
