The order has been placed...
Bleep,
Thanks for the kind words. Randomly posting on people's threads is what I did for a loooong time. I would encourage you to jump in, though I would also caution that the words can't really be unwritten. Read carefully! Again, wish I'd taken my own advice.
My posts are inane blatherings compared to some of the real info on here. And like you, I'm not free yet, so it's hard for me to be too encouraging, if that makes sense.
I, too, avoided the bender I was longing for. In part because of an (unrelated to this) email I got from a long time MWO member. I don't want to let him down, if that makes sense? Silly, since I don't know anyone here, really. But it's true.
As to the blackouts, I'll bump beatle's thread about dealing with the physical repercussions of AL abuse. Some good info there, though I haven't used most of the supplements listed. It's an interesting read. Specifically, look about half way through it until you get to the part about trytophan and 5-htp.
You're not only NOT doomed, you are about to find salvation. Sorry to go all religious.
Baclofen is most certainly not a panacea for all your ills, but I firmly believe it's a good way to get rid of the one that makes all the others pale in comparison.
Read Moglor's thread. Preferrably when you're not pissed, as it's hard to retain anything when you are! ha. And lo0p's journey helps me immeasurably. Also Ignominous' log, if he ever got that squared away, is a testament to both the efficacy and the doubts we all certainly encounter. Also, sunnyvalenting has some v. important messages to impart, for all that I'm not following her path.
Happy New Year to you too. I'm about 4 hours away and looking forward to a new year free from the beast. Maybe not right away, but soon enough!
Good luck, hang in!
