    The Switch and Indifference

    Congratulations UK, I am very happy for you.

    I'm sorry you feel that you have been short-changed, I'm sure you'll agree that this is an emotional time for everybody concerned, and to let that overshadow your accomplishment seems unnecessary at this point. Why not just relax and enjoy the moment, and share in your success with everybody here. Everyone, I'm sure, will be delighted for you!

    Well done, it truly is a gift!

      Bleep I'm going to share, but not down here. I find the atmosphere too full of egos, so I'm going to report it in the general section above. This is presuming Roberta can stop my removal, yesterday we agreed she would go ahead but obviously I'm still here for some reason.

        Perhaps we should all start sharing our successes in the general area, it might generate more interest. A "don't want to drink today" approach to this problem is surely better than the generally accepted "managed to not drink today"!

        I'll keep an eye out for yours UK.

          I have started a post in the "Just Starting Out" section entitled "Newbies - This is what it is all about". I kind of thought the name says it all and figured new people would be starting in that section. Check it out...

            Really glad to hear you've hit the switch UKBlonde. Perhaps you'd like to post more on how you did it, your journey etc?

                UK, that's amazing, so happy for you!!

                I haven't posted or visited here much recently, but I did in the last few weeks, and I followed your story across your threads. I must be honest, it seemed to me you were leaping around all over the place, and I found it really hard to follow where you were at. I wanted to PM you more than once to try to help out.

                Ego-trips and putting people down have no place here (or anywhere else!) imo, so I'm really sorry to hear you felt like that. Perhaps some of it was misunderstanding on both sides (??) Anyway, I'm glad it sounds like you've reconsidered leaving because you have a unique story that could help a lot of others :goodjob:

                All the best, take care, and let everyone know how you get on please!! :thanks:
                I don't come here much anymore but you can always mail me at rotunda 2000 at hotmail dot com (no spaces). Might be able to help with Bac emergencies

                  ukblonde,
                  congrats on all the work you've done hitting the switch. you've earned this. I've followed your posts throughout your journey and have to say you are truly courageous.
                  you ought to think about sticking around. you could help others.
                  after what you've achieved all the rest is just drama that's not worth it.

                    How did I miss this, and where is your original post, UK? Sorry it's been rough online.

                    CONGRATS! Wow, you must feel liberated! I cannot imagine what it feels like after all you've been through.

                    Please keep posting and let us know how you're doing. Each story is different and if you can inspire one single person to stick to it, you've saved a life.

                    Great going!!!!!!!

                    :wow::happy:

                      I removed it since I was told I had a lot of posts on here that were offensive or inappropriate, and that I should delete them. I started deleting but kept missing some, so thought best off taking them all off and starting again. Unfortunately you can't delete threads, or opening posts.

                      Thanks for digging it up but I'm afraid that after 11 days AF, including 3 without cravings at all I relapsed.

                      I'm currently drinking every night and binge eating. When I'm not zombied I'm not able to do anything but sit around eating. Can't work or do anything I want to because of the SEs, as well as the weight that has piled on. Depressed, scared, frightened. Started to think about giving up work completely and either resigning to being fat and drunk and useless or seriously downgrading my life. Even if I switch tomorrow it'll be about 6 months for me to start to repair the damage that has been done since Christmas.

                      Complete despair since I had hoped Baclofen would help. After the high of thinking I'd switched, I just came crashing down again.

                        Bollocks to that. I say let there be hard posts. This is hard work.

                        I'm fucking tired of posters popping up announcing they had a drink problem drinking 6-7 cans of a evening, and wham they hit the switch at 320 and wham everything is peachy.

                        I'm at 450, Ive had insomnia since nov, I feel like a fucking zombie, and I'd really like a fucking drink.
