hi everyone, im new here

[brightfield]

been a serious alcoholic for twenty years now and my doc just wont give me any of the meds you guys talk about. The doc says they are bad for my liver, i say whats the lesser of two evils, but he still wont prescribe.
I'm at my wits end here.
Any body got any ideas for me.
Found this site on saturday night while looking for info about campral.
Love the way you guys all support each other.
good luck to you all.

Hi Brightfield

Maybe you can achieve your goal by using whatever strategy you have and what you gain from this site.i for one have not got the book or the supps because i havent needed to yet! however i am ADDICTED to this site and try and get on once a day for inspiration...always in the evening as thats my "danger Zone" for drinking.
you learn a lot here and you dont feel so alone.
for me i enjoy being as anonymous as i want to be as really dont want to go to an AA group at present.

dont know where this journey is taking me but guesss what ..Im 30 days AF today and it feels good.

when I started out on day one it was a struggle... I am lucky that hubby and a close friend who is also a heavy drinker is doing this with me...we are all 30 DAYS AF today...Fantastic news.

I think my hubby is going through it on willpower alone whilst my girl friend and I do daily texting ( a private aa/ self help mini group we have formed maybe?)

i tend to use every strategy going...daily bible readings, self help books, spiritual readings, using this site, exercise...walking, keep fit. healthy eating. filling my time differently...YOU NAME IT I TRY IT.

i honestly am grateful to this site and my friend and hubby for all this support and bove all i am so pleased to have a strong catholic faith...that all will be well and God loves me and is in this with me all the way!!

good luck to you


Regards cassy

Bright, the l-glut, kudzu and CDs have made the difference for me. No prescription meds. Maybe try that route first.......

hi everyone, im new here

Welcome Brightfield - you're definitely around friends here and so if you're looking for inspiration, motivation, support, friendship, understanding - then look no further! there's always someone ready to listen 24/7 so jump in, keep posting and read, read, read!

I, too, am AF without meds - have ordered the tapes and the kudzu on line but so far am finding that the motivation from this site is helping me make major life-style changes to break the destructive cycle of drink. So keep an open mind - the meds and supps may be great tools, but with commitment hopefully you can find an alternative that works for you that isn't reliant on them. As Cassy says - try everything! (Fantastic about the 30 days, Cassy, BTW - Way to go!)

:welcome:
