New here and starting Topa and with a question
Hi All,
DIZZ, thank you for your post, it was really thought provoking for me and my own thoughts are very much the same as yours, you always say things really well. So, right now I'm really comfortable with our thread, for me it doesn't take up all my time as I don't post every single day, but most importantly for me it provides me with such a great connection to others, who have become friends.
I find that living alone for so long and being a rather homebody, I don't socialize enough and can feel pretty isolated and depressed due to that. Our thread is a big connection to people and it is really important for me. I did have to stop the Topa due to work issues but still have a lot of good knowledge about it to share for anyone who comes to our thread looking. I'm afraid to take BAC and the others don't seem to have done people too much good so I'm kind of stuck at this point about how to go from here.
Dizz I so hear you about the having to have a drink driving you crazy, me too. And yet I still find myself being resistant to total abstinence and want to just control my drinking and not have cravings, perhaps my goals will change, I just don't know.
The book I bought is "Changeology" which was recommended by Sun, another thing I would not have known about except for our thread. You can look at it on the website of the same name. So it looks very promising and it lays out a 5 step plan for changing any habit that you want to change.
For me I want to cut down my drinking and lose the extra weight I have gained, twenty five pounds. I have a small frame and the extra weight is contributing to my feet hurting again and I know it also increases my risk of diabetes and heart problems both of which are in my family, and in general I feel bad about how I look and I can't wear my clothes.
And Space, I'm so glad you are back and I am just amazed that you somehow have totally gone off drinking and it sounds like you are having an easy time of it. WHAT changed for you? Could you share the name of the medication that you are on, I've forgotten it. I know it wasn't for AL, maybe the anxiety or bi polar. Could it be helping the AL problem.
Ok, so I also hope that we all stay on our thread, you are all very important for me and even tho "we are a bunch of women, mostly, that drink every day and wish we didn't", I need you guys:h
Love, play
