Hi, I'm new to MWO. Very excited to find this program. Maybe I should have finished the book before writing, but I really need advice.
I like to "pretend" I can drink normally, and at times I am successful. To best describe it, it's luck of the draw. Sometimes I can stop, sometimes I can't.
After 20 years of drinking out of control every night, I now drink about once a week. I've quit drinking during the week, but if my husband is out of town, I will have a couple. This has been going on for about a year and a half. The obsession is gone, but the thoughts are always there. I've guess I've just learned not act on them every time. After all, they are just thoughts right... Yeah, I know, I should just stop completely, but if I could be on of the lucky one's like RJ that would be nice. I SO love a good glass of wine with dinner.
I started taking Campral and a ton of herbs about two weeks ago and have been more obsessed with drinking since. Not good. Actually snuck a few, which I haven't done in a LONG TIME. Drank 3-4 times in the last week. I'm fearful of sliding back into my old habits, and today I just want to cry. I haven't been this worried about myself in a long time. Maybe it's just the clouded head from 4 glasses of wine last night. I just don't know if the Campral is doing anything. All I think about is drinking.
Is Topamax better if you want to "control" drinking and not give it up completely? Do you have to quit, like w/ Campral? Any input would be apprecitaed. Thanks!!!!!
