New here and starting Topa and with a question
Hi Dream I don't really have anything to add to what stuck just told you, if you google medication interaction checker you will find sites that give info on meds. Some may ask you to register but you don't have to give your correct name ect. This is the only time though that I would advise lying, when you see a doc I do also think you should be honest with them although I have not done this myself always because I was worried about the implications of having alcoholism on my record. I am in UK so it is a totally different system here so I really cant advise.
Well done on the massive achievement of not drinking, how did you manage that. What supps have you got.
Hi stuck how are you, do you still get the pain in your legs I know you said the night terrors are very bad and I know this may sound stupid but could you try things like getting a bath, having hot milk and using lavender oil before bed, Im just wondering if being more relaxed when you go to bed might help.
I went to see my doc this morning over the pain I am still getting despite the meds I am already taking. I am quite upset by the fact that he told me the only thing left for me to take is liquid morphine! I was so shocked when he said it I immediately said no. But he gave me more baclofen and said the reason he hadn't renewed the script for it last time is that he doesn't think its effective for my pain. I went yesterday for an indian head massage hoping that would give me some relief, it took an hour and after the first half hour when I had relaxed it was nice but it has done nothing for the pain as it just came back as soon as he stopped doing it.
Apart from that things are ok, Im not drinking again back to not seeing the point, I saw my therapist on |Monday and poured out my worse stuff ie. cause of my guilt, hearbreak, and the things I can never get over, she did show me a different perspective on what I had told her and explained that it is not all my fault. I went in feeling dreadful, I really didn't want to go but knew I had to. It was one of the most difficult things I have had to do because I knew there was no point going unless I told her the truth and the whole story and when I came out I did feel better. She has also made a plan of things I need to start doing to help and given me a new meditation cd to help with the anxiety. I have never done this before, I have seen therapists and cousellors but not told them the truth for some reason I don't know and it didn't work but now the time has come to really change and sort myself out. I had to be sober to do this, I had to be able to feel that pain and to learn how to deal with it, I did have a few drinks when it got so bad but my drinking is not like it was and was under control so I have stopped again. I have had to choose to not drink though today and yesterday and for a while before all this happened I wasn't thinking about it most of the time so it wasn't a choice it was just not an issue. I will get back to that in a few days I hope.
I didn't intend posting on here today I had decided to try to cut down on my use of this site I spend too much time here, but then I just get drawn in again by Dream posting again which I am happy about and stuck being there.

Keep up your good work, all your focus on your positive intentions will pay off in the end and in fact is already manifesting in your lives for your higher good 
The house looks lovely I do hope the move goes well. I have put my name down for a house today as well, they are phoning me tomorrow morning about it, there may well be people before me on the list though that get it but Im trying and it does look lovely, I don't know how to post piccies or I would but anyway I will wait to do that before I get one, or if I get one. The biggest problem is that I really couldn't beat my house now for area and the whole look and feel of it, my kitchen now is great but in the houses Im looking at is tiny but the rest of my house there is the tiny bedrroms and the dark dark shaded living room that I cant stand to sit in. I spend my time in the kitchen mostly and only go in the living room of an evening to watch tv, even then I often don't bother. Thank you for the very kind compliment dizzy and realising what Im doing, it makes a difference when I get a compliment nowadays, I used to just shug them off as I didn't believe anyone though good things about me and where just being nice, like when someone asks you do you like there new dress and they are wearing it already so cant take it back and its bad you still say yes not to upset them 
but now I can take it as someone actually seeing something good about me. I think that's an improvement in my self esteem.
