First, Welcome Milo, must be a Descendants fan, and I'm happy to hear everyone appears to be doing great! FFP, congrats on the wedding - I remember my wiedding, it was in Memphis, TN, a lot of fun (although I can't complain about being divorced now... :-)) Sorry, bad joke, I wish you're daughter all the happiness, you guys will have a blast
so, Alkie, I said I give you my thoughts on Kudzu, I've been taking it regularily, the other thing you mentioned, glutamine, I think it was I'm not taking. So, short answer...I think it actually does work. I read some reviews about it and one guy had it down packed, it seems to rid any physically cravings, but the mental ones can still be there, e.g. if you're used to drinking say six beers at a sitting and wondering why you're only on two....etc....I think I know what he meant, that all too comfortable feeling of sitting down and your nerves unwinding...anyway...I had one night where I'd drink and one where it be more casual....
Saturday I met my sister, she was playing a festival in Brooklyn. Now, I was driving, so it wasn't like I was going to drink a lot anyway. I did notice, for me at least, the effects of the alcohol, would be felt right away, not that like you were smashed, you just knew to slow down or put it down....the whole "cathing up to you all at once" wasn't happening. We were having a blast and were out pretty late. I was definitely fine to drive and I did. After I parked my car back on my garage in the City, I decided to go out, just to see how I felt, how much more I'd drink, etc. I want to sat it was definitely after midnight, maybe after one. I was in a good mood, so this could lead to sometimes, the one or more than I really need...not that I'd be severly hammered, just like..."why did I waste this money? etc."
So, I ordered a beer, the few people I knew, "help" weren't too talkative and they were a bunch of freak shows in this local place near me. I felt fine, not even buzzed, but I literally had ZERO interest in drinking anymore..it was like, "this is boring." So I went home, pretty late, but definitelty not drunk and woke up fine the next day.
We had a little bday party for my maniac twin boy nephews. This time, not even really looking to drink, maybe a beer to three. Make a long story short, after I nursed the first one, and REALLY nursed the second one, usually I'd have one more in a situation like this.....I actually had no desire, the idea was, I don't want to say sickening as you put it, just kind of like..."eh" So, that was that.
My big test will have to be places where I have bad triggers...but so far, I think there's some truth to this herb. I by no means think it's a cure for addiction at all!! It's kind of like a diet pill that curbs appetite....Anyway, that is what I have to report on that matter for now.
