Play I put some l glut in water, not loads just about an inch or so in the bottom of the glass and then put in the heaped spoonfull of lglut and stir and just knock it back, and if poss you can do that around three times a day. But if that doesnt fit in because of work then twice a day is better than none isnt it., take some before you leave then when you get back home. I find the powder really does help and I knwo the others on here do as well so I hope you do too.

Hi, everyone:

So stressed out. Found out I have to testify against a very vindictive person on Monday. So i drank 2 glasses of wine last night. I can't concentrate. I'm a mess, left work early yesterday for the first time in my entire life. I talked to all the attorneys and they all say tell the truth. But they aren't the ones she's going to come after! Well, I can't sleep...

Hi there Al - SO sorry about your stress - I understand it being a trigger for drinking though - at least you didn't drink 2 bottles - right? Try not to worry - you can't change things and worrying isn't going to help. Just take a deep breath every time you feel the panic/worry coming on ...... as the lawyers say - just tell the truth and try and be calm....:l:l

I will be back later,

hugs. Sun Xx

So sorry about your worry Al but sun is right there nothing you can do about it and just forget the two glasses of wine they are nothing to worry over now.

I have only remembered my L glut once today but have taken the rest of my supps

Thanks Space for the LGlut directions, I'm taking it now, FINALLY, So my first check in, done it.

Yes, Al, I have to agree with Sun and Space, try to just do what you have to do, all the worry in the world won't change it, but the stress I know is almost unbearable sometimes, but way to go on only two glasses,I probably would have had two bottles and not been coherent for the testifying. Please let us know how it went.

Will try to get back here a little later,
Love, Play

Thanks, space, play, and sun:

Today instead of drinking, I'm having my son's hard earned candies! Yum! It's never pleasant to testify against someone when that person is right there looking at you and probably will sue you, report you To licensing board or give you an online bad review

Sun; you work such crazy hours!! How do you stand it?

I need to go to take my glut.

Space: good thing you got the regular cans. Hope you enjoyed them!

Play; glad you figured out how to take glut. Sounds like you stopped taking glut for awhile. Did u notice any difference not taking it?

Hi all - I am home from work and am winding down so I can get to bed so I can get up at the crack of sparrowfart! It is hard 'cos it usually takes a while to wind down and then I always read when I go to bed, but i mustn't tonight! And of course 'cos I need to get to sleep quickly, I will just lie there and not sleep!! LOL

AL - I don't usually work these crazy hours - we are setting up for Christmas and it is really much better to work before there are customers in the store. So this gives us three uninterrupted hours. I usually do one Clopen a week, but opening at 7.00 instead of 6.00 which isn't as bad. I don't mind it - I have got used to it. At least tomorrow I will get to leave at 2.30 !!

WTE - Laughed at you being forced to microwave my fake bacon - it really is yummy - toast some bread, add some cheese and the bacon - YUMMM. I suppose it is too late for me to have some now..... got me drooling......

Oh - my arm swelling has finally gone down and it didn't itch ONCE today! So I think it has finally got the message from the antibiotics! Thank goodness. Those yellow jackets aren't very welcoming WTE - didn't like to say anything at the time - LOL.

Space - good for you with the cans. You are doing so well - I am really proud of you. It seems a while since we talked on Skype - maybe tomorrow seeing as I get off work early - I will look out for you, but I have some errands to run on my way home so I won't be home until about 4.00 my time - but as you changed your clocks this past weekend it will only be 9.00 your time - we change ours this weekend.

Well, I have been taking my All-One and my Kudzu and took one dose of l-Glut but forgot the other doses of the l-Glut - it was pretty hectic at work today. The other manager went home early (as soon as I arrived actually - LOL) so I was up to my ears the whole time. So, shame on me - have just poured a second Guinness - not a good idea when I have to be up so early. I should know better. But it really does take so long to wind down. That is my excuse and I am sticking to it. SIGH. I really really have to get my head in gear here. The celexa has still not kicked in for me to get my 'happy' back and I was wondering if it is because i am drinking more than I should be. One more reason to cut back. I am going to give myself a stern talking to and try once again to get my act together. Gosh - I really do sound like a broken record - you must get fed up with hearing it from me. Same old same old.

AND, on THAT note, I am going to say goodnight. I must get the dogs sorted and then get my hot water bottle sorted, brush teeth etc. Love and hugs to you all,

love, Sun XX

Im wondering if meds work the same second time round with your saying about the celxa not being the same and peeps saying the topa isnt the same and I noticed it with antabuse didnt I althought that was physchological I think with me. But maybe thats whats happening with the celexa, although maybe it is the drinking, they say they dont work pro[perly when you drink with them dont they so you may be right sun.

Last night I could sleep and ended up getting up and having another can so not so good but not that bad either, 2 regular cans, the second one seemed to help me nod off tho. My sleep does seem to be a bit messed up at the moment, nothing to worry about i will get it back to normal and its not that bed to cause me stress so Im not giving it any time to worry over it but getting off to sleep of a night is out of synch if you know what I mean, like my habit has been broken.

I havent really got anything else to report except that I will be buying my ticket for spain today so Im all excited about that, I was saying to Play Ive never been away from the family like this before and I cant wait Im so looking forward to meeting play and her family and having a break in spain it will be fantastic.

Today I want to finish making to living room curtain I started weeks ago, I have three windows in my living room and need 5 curtains, I have made 2 and the other 3 have been in a bag for the rest of the time so I really need to get stuck in now winters here to kee the cold out.
