Tom, get some lecithin too. it will help clear the log jam of fatty buildup around your liver. I get the bulk granules and take a rounded teaspoon a couple times per day.

Med Mama and Namaste great to see you here in the 'hood

Evening all. Welcome back long lost people. Very good idea to rejoin this thread. I need a bigger dose myself. I'm REALLY fed up with my duties. I SO want to go home. I was supposed to get back to London next week but I may have to stay on a bit as my sister seems to be having problems. Still, I want to find a way to get my life back even though I'm stuck in this seemingly endless admin loop. Various guys came by today to value my dad's property and belongings. That process is not finished yet, but I think I've been too caught up in it and need a break. If nothing else, I'll book myself a massage. MM, can I beam myself over for a spa treatment? That would be just the ticket.

Good evening Abbers,

Wow, such a busy thread today, how nice

DG, thanks for sharing your story. I've been pretty sure that I don't want to try to moderate, now I'm definitely sure!!

Welcome back to all who have checked in today, this is the place to be.

Pam, sorry you have to face all that alone. I understand how tough the job is & I had absolutely NO help from my 3 brothers when I handled our parents' estate. They basically sat on one hand and held out the other for their 'fair' share............ Talk about resentment, I'll probably never really be able to forgive those guys!

Well, I wish everyone a safe AF night, be well!

Hey Everyone,
Today is day one of what I plan/hope/expect/ intend to be a 30 day AF run. I've been planning it for a while now. Last night I had about five glasses of wine, didn't sleep well and woke up primed for a month of abstinence. I think I did it to myself on purpose...over-doing the wine so I'd sort of be reminded of how bad that feels. It was easy not to drink today, because I'd really had too much last night. The bigger challenge will come as the days go by and I start to long for the buzz again, minimizing the negative effects.

So, is this the right thread for me to hang out at for the next 30 days? There are so many threads...I feel lost.

Greeneyes, do you usually post here or at ODAT?

Anyway, a month of abstinence is my goal...More about my plan another time. I'm exhausted and turning in. Wishing you all well.
Sara

Hi all,

I have be AF for quite some time now, I am not counting this time (not sure why, not on purpose, maybe lazy, or maybe setting myself up to fail??? no little victories??...hmmm)...but I am at least 60 days completely AF, but since Jan/Feb I have been pretty solidly AF...I am very very pleased.

BUT....

I am worried I am going to get too complacent. So, time to make myself be, and STAY accountable.
I am an alcoholic, and I can NOT drink. EVER. Not one, not a sip not to celebrate, mourn, hide, or cope. NEVER.
I hope no one minds if I hop on in and start posting.

Another wonderful victory, since striving to live alcohol free last November 2008 (have tried before many many times, but this has been my most successful run), I have lost 47 pounds. This has happened by cutting out beer and junk food trying to control excecssive eating, portion control and good ole exercise. I have 20 more to go. But I feel great. I think I need to commit myself to something (hence posting here regularly) positive. Get support, be supportive, share, and learn. Be proactive in my success instead of sitting here waiting for the other shoe to drop...waiting to fail, because that is my usual M.O.

Yikes, I have rambled on....I just wanted to pop in and say hi, and hopefully get on with becoming a highly fuctioning NON-drinking alcoholic

Oh, Det...lecithin...for fatty deposits around liver? How much to take, and how often? Thanks!!! I take milk thistle, but any help is good!

See you all tomorrow!
