Good Morning all !

Space - I think it would be a wonderful idea for you to sell the all-One from Uk but as you said, it would probably mean a boatload of money up front. It is a good idea though. Vitacost does sell it and ship it internationally but the shipping would be so expensive, as it obviously weighs a lot ! I think if it was sold in UK it would be a lot more expensive too. Just because things often are !

As for what you can do today - umm, how about finishing your curtains? That would be a good job done and done with wouldn't it? Get it out of the way!! Just a thought for you anyway.

I am off today by the way Space, and after voting, plan on going into St Louis and going to Wholefoods and also this wonderful bakery where I buy about 6 loaves of this wonderful bread that I buy and then freeze it.

Good Morning Stuck - laughed at the thought of us all turning up on your doorstep!! yes, bewildered would be a good word for the look on your face!! Nice to see you here again.....

Ally - after all the worry, you didn't even have to go to court - what a big let down - I mean a GOOD let down, but oh gosh - what a waste of worry - that is why sometimes it is good to worry - 99% of the time the things we worry about never happen - they say that is why worrying works. I don't agree - LOL. As for 3 Guinness being good, well, it is all relative I suppose. I am fine when I just have 2 a night - I am happy with that - the cans are 16 oz which aren't small..... but I went up and now I have at least 3 or 4 each night which is way more than I want to have. SO, I do need to get it back down. I am a WIP (As Space knows, that is a Work In Progress). Last night had two, but it is easy when I close as I go to bed quite soon after getting home - after winding down.

And yes, thank you for explaining to Play about the Steppers thread for me......

Hi there WTE - Let us know what happens when you take the kitties in today won't you - and I hope Charlie doesn't get Giardia !! Naughty dog for getting into the lit tray!! Isn't it funny - well, ironic really - I think we both eat about right!! I mean, we eat when we are hungry and stop when we are full. Isn't that the way we are supposed to eat?

I hear you on the vicious cycle of drinking causing depression causing drinking. In fact another friend of mine was saying exactly the same thing to me in an e-mail last night. I think there is more than a grain of truth in it. Hopefully with you being so busy with work, maybe your consumption will go down a little? And I also understand your being lonely at times. Hubs is a pain at times, but he is still a body in the house.......sometimes i wish he wasn't there for an hour or two but he is still there. It seems that we can never have exactly what we want can we? I totally understand where you are coming from, especially seeing where you live......:l:l

Well, I need to go and get changed, and get out and go and vote - hope the queue isn't too long! then get into st Louis. Have a wonderful day/evening/whatever, everyone - love and hugs,

Good morning everyone:

I read most psychics predict Obama will win. I'm waiting to see if the psychics are right.

Sun: I tend to worry too much. Anxiety and stress is what got me drinking in the first place. Yesterday I went on line and bought tons of supplements because I am afraid of running out of them.... Like how I used to be afraid of running out of alcohol

Wte: how are the kitties? I hope they are getting better. How many do you have?

Space: maybe you could get together w some people MWO who live in your country to order the meds together to save on shipping cost or go into business w them to sell them together. I don't know how you would market it because I never heard of it until I got on MWO site.

I hope the voting line wasnt too long sun, I have seen some footage of the election run up on tv here, but not too much, I dont bother watching too much politics, niether ours or yours.

My anxiety is back again with a vengence, I dont get it I really dont know whats causing it or what to do about it, it seems to have gone on for so long now and just be getting worse. I have been out for a walk this afternoon in the hope that weould help and it started raining so I had to come home, I mean heavy rain with halestones in it so I couldnt stay out with the dogs in that it would not have been good for any of us, and that didnt help me feel any better, I have had a bath, I have had a healthy lunch, all to no effect, I may as well bang my bloody head on the wall for all the good any of this is doing. I have taken all my supps thoughout the day, with food as instructed. This all started when I stopped taking bac but I cant blame the baclofen bacause it is too long now for it to be withdrawals and it is getting worse not better so I dont know what is causing it. I do know it could have been there all along but masked by the drink and then the baclofen and so only just showing itself now which is the most likely thing I can think of, but that still doesnt get me any where does it. I just dont know and Im well and truely fed up with it. The only thing at the moment that Im looking forward to is Spain and that is keeping me going and keeping me a bit possitive. To be honest with you all I actually feel like going and getting pissed right now, but Im not going to. so dont anyone worry about me Im ok.

Right Im off to slimming club soon, I have made a right pigs ear of my diet these past few days, I ate a yorkshire pud and gravy on Sunday and a chocolate muffin last night so I dont expect and great results tonight but I going anyway, Im not giving up so easily, I am back on track today.

And forget the idea to sell allone over here, it is not going to happen it would need a shitload of money to make work even if it is a good idea.

Space:
sorry about your anxiety. Have you gotten it treated before? I have a lot of anxiety, too and that's why I drank. Alcoholism doesn't exist in my family but anxiety does. I hope you feel better soon and I know you will have fun in Spain!

Hi there Space and ally - No Space, I walked right on in - I usually go early but so do all the others voting before work - 'cos I was off today I waited. Voted, then went to the super bakery in ST Louis and got my bread - it was too warm to slice so my car smells SO scrummy !!! I buy at least 6 loaves and then freeze it. Too far to drive more frequesntly and although it is mega expensive it is worth it. They had a new one too - rosemary garlic and I tried it, and bought two loaves of that, two of the sunflower flax and four of the one I usually get - dakota, which is chock full of nuts - they are all 100% whole grain, baked on the premises and no preservatives etc. I LOVE their bread !! It is called Great Harvest Bread Company and if any one of you have them near you you need to try their bread - it is awesome !!

So now I am home and have taken my L-Glut. I have a HUGE mountain of ironing which I might start shortly. I was thinking about going in the garden but the rain is starting.

Space - I am so sorry you are feeling down today..... did you start your curtains? maybe just decide to do one side or one hem or something - at least make a start on them? yes, weather like that - hail and stuff doesn't help does it. Can you try one of your CD's? Do you have any anti-anxiety ones? if not, I can send you a couple - please let me know okay? In the meantime here is a HUGE hug for you :l:l

Hope the slimming club goes well- and don't worry about the pigging out - slimming clubs always go up and down I am sure. Did you say you go to Slimming World? do you know who that was originally started by just out of interest? Can you find out? I am just curious.......

Ally - it sounds as if you could benefit from some anti-anxiety CD's too - let me know if you need one or two - I am happy to send you something as well. they really work, but you do have to commit to listening to them...... How ironic that Alcoholism doesn't run in your family - you must be one of the few on this site that it doesn't. It is rampant in mine. My mum is the only one in my family that DOESN'T drink - and she has a real problem with sugar - says that she has a real addiction to it and in my mind (although she totally denies it) to me, they are two sides of the same coin! Whatever !!

Back later everyone, hugs to all - will be waiting to see the outcome of the election - but not waiting UP !!! I have to be up at 5.00. I can wait until the morning - LOL. I do think it is going to be VERY close though.....

love and hugs to all,

Sun: you are filled w manic energy: send some to me! My anxiety is now work related. When a client is mad at me at work, I ruminate about it, can't sleep for days. The woman I was supposed to testify against, I just found out her grandchild (my client) was taken away from her yesterday. That was probably the best but I can't help but feel bad for the woman because it's not her fault that she inherited a psychotic illness. W my job, I get emotionally involved too much at times.

Well, sun, did you vote? I saw in other threads people are sending you more yellow jackets! Lol!

Hi, guys: when you guys first started taking glut and kudzu did you quit drinking, then eventually went back to drinking? Do they reduce their effectiveness over time?

[sunshinedaisies]

New here and starting Topa and with a question

Really swift post - and then I am off to bed - YES the L-Glut and kudzu DID stop me drinking. No, they don't lose their effectiveness. What happens, is that I stopped taking them........ and the rest is history.........

love and hugs, Sun XXXX

Hi all and thanks sun, aly and play for your kind words. I did manage to finish off one of the curtains sun so that job is getting done in part at least, there is still some way to go but I will try and do it bit by bit and will get there eventualy.

Has anyone ever had anxiety or heard of it as a side effect of topa I have been worrying about that lately as well. I would totally hate that to be the case as you all know how well topa works for my drinking cutting it down so well, I havent googled it yet so maybe I should.

I hope everybody has a good day I havent much else to say right now

oh I put a pound on a slimming world and I have no clue who started it, I havent even thought about it. I feel a failure in that too but yes it goes up and down just get back on track I did do amazingly well the first two weeks and couldnt expect to keep that up forever.

Hi Space, topa the third try made me nutty. Panic. Of course hard to say it wasn't just an unexpected spiral down the drain but crying g in the AM freaking out about money is usually a drinking game not a sober morning fun game.
