Meds and drinking
The non-prescription supps, esp. milk thistle and evening primrose, are good for you if you are drinking. If you are on Rx meds you need to follow dosing instructions and not just go off them cold turkey, as I understand.And you may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?" And you may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go?" And you may ask yourself,"Am I right?...Am I wrong?" And you may tell yourself..."MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?"

Meds and drinking
Well, I guess the whole idea is to use this as part of a program and a desire to try to stop or mod. The meds and supps are not a cure, it has to come from you. If you don't feel there is a point, then there won't be, like a self-fulfilling prophecy?? Anyone else?And you may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?" And you may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go?" And you may ask yourself,"Am I right?...Am I wrong?" And you may tell yourself..."MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?"

I think the meds are supposed to help even if you are drinking. As I understand it, they can also be used to help you moderate. Anyone else know more?Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Meds and drinking
more info needed
UK Blonde:
Are you saying that you are actually experiencing this, i.e. that the meds and supps are not working? OR are you just wondering what you would do if they are not working?
If it was me and meds were not working I would consider getting off anything with side effects or that was too expensive and continuing supplements (basic ones as alcoholics have nutritional deficiencies and it couldn't hurt). I think it's best to talk to a doctor if possible though to wean off meds. or maybe the prescription med you are using is not effective and you need to try another one.
If you are anticipating problems, well, try not to anticipate things not working.

Ok, I know drink is causing me problems - always has. I admit I have a problem. I exercise when I don't drink. I take glutamine, aa's, eat well, started topa but still want to drink and still do!!!!
AARGHH
Is there to end to my torment - it's as if someone is torturing me slowly. I have many interests, half a life and half my looks but still the drink takes me.
