Hi Space. Your new doc sounds like a good fit, and that's really great to hear. The valium I'm sure will help while adjusting the bac... or anything else, probably.

Well, I'm in the middle of my online job thing, so can't stay. But wanted to say hi.

Hi.

Hugs.

Since I last posted here I have been taking the topa and doing well on it, its really cool, its like my thoughts of drinking arnt there most of the time. I have also stopped taking bac, I am still getting some anxiety whenther thats bac related or not I dont know but I am taking a very low dose of valium still because of the now decreasing. but still present anxieity. Butmostly I am feeling good, my drinking is around one can a night, I dont even know why Im drinking that, habit I think and also that I havent got a goal for what I want to do about the drinking. I dont want to stop drinking all together, but I dont want to drink every day either, because I think thats needing to drink rather than wanting to drink.

My mood is a million times better, I have been getting out of bed when my son goes to school and getting bathes and showers and doing things and going out, its been amazing, I woulndnt have changed these past two weeks for anything.

Well Im off now to clear the kitchen from the dinner dishes and wipe round and stuff, I never thought I would be saying that, ever :H

Oh Space, I am so happy that you are having good days, can't wait to see you, you don't know how much I am looking forward to us doing things together on our holiday, it is really giving me something to be excited about, thank you, and thank you for agreeing to do the CDs with me, it is so much easier to do with a partner,

Love,
Play

Space!! I'm so thrilled for you! The topa, the new doc...it seems like everything's coming together for you. And you deserve it. :h
I wouldn't be surprised if the bac was triggering anxiety. God knows I went CRAZY when I went down on bac. I say do what you gotta until you feel stable.
Remind me, have you tried topa before? You have, right? What is different this time? Are you at a higher dosage?
So how did the honeymoon go? Do you know if he's drinking these days?
I'm so glad you're up and about and getting up early and cleaning. Are you in any pain these days?
Sending you hugs and love!!

OKOK Im hearing you Play :H Im now on week 5 of taking topa and pretty much so far so good. Apart from a couple of days where I have had 3 cans it has averaged between 1 - 2 beers a day, my mood has been consibderably better, in fact all round life is better and I am so glad I tried topa it seems to be the one that is doing the job for me. I dont seem to have the desire to get drunk anymore and when I have a drink it seems to be enough to have one or two, and that is being consistent thoughout the weeks. I have had a couple of days where the se's have hit me but nothing that would stop me wanting to take it.

Life in general has been pretty usual, still out of work, I ve been trying to get a job with no sucess, had some stress with my family but nothing major happening so everything just ok. I am going to go to Spain soon for a few days and am looking forward to it massively, it will be the first time I have ever gone away without the kids or anyone else as just me and I cant wait, I have my case down out of the loft ready and just want ot pack and go I am so excited about it.
So thats about it everything else is already mostly on the topa thread and I cant think of anything else to put here, just to say that right at this minute in time I am feeling a bit happy.
