My Story... kind of long (sorry)

Please stop beating yourself up friend. You are only abusing yourself further. You will find plenty of people here who have now been longterm AF who stubbled for ages to get there. It took me a year of trying to reach 30 days - NOT that I advocate this as an approach or want to encourage slipping but you have so accept it, get over it, move on. Glue your arse to your chair and read read read til you work up the motivation to start over. You can do this. :l

My Story... kind of long (sorry)

:welcome:Three beers a day is not that big of a deal. Sometimes, its better to taper down in the beginning. Alcohol withdrawals can be really bad, and even require hospitalization. you have tremendous strength!! Tapering down can even help to rewire your brain a little, and making smaller goals for yourself gives you stil makes you a winner everyday!! Are you on the supplements? Have you gotten the book? or downloaded it? Read the first chapter, and let me know if you are interested..... its really wonderful! The supplements helped me so much, and got me down to less than half of what i was drinking before i started the program. Topa helped even further. I have slipped a few times since then, but have also had tremendous stress in between, as you may have seen in my first post on this thread. Dont beat yourself up about every drop, as this is a journey, not a destination. I hope you keep reading, and find a place thats comfortable for you. If you just want to quit from today till tomorrow, there are meds for that. Have you been to the toolbox or the newbies nest? Please feel free to PM me if you would like... I am here for you!!
