Victoria ~ Welcome! I too have to ditto what's already been said. Everyone here starts with basics of this program, but it is so easily modified to each persons specific needs. I think that is why so many find success here.
I have to say that I went cold turkey, but that was not by choice. I could not afford to go to the Drs or buy supps when I first got here (Dec 27th). I still do not have med ins, but I was able to buy some supps in March and have been taken them since. So my first 3 months, I only had the amazing people here to get me through and they did. I am so grateful to so many here. But I digress. I can't say that you should try to do this without meds (that's a personal choice), but now I am glad that I could not afford them as hindsight is 20/20. I have seen many members here have relapses when they have cut back on the meds or stopped them all together. I consider myself lucky now that I do not have to go through that. I just wanted you to know that it can be done without them. And maybe there is a certain benefit to that. Just my opinion though. If you feel you need the meds, by all means, use whatever tools you need to quit drinking. As far as the supps, they are just vitamins and herbs anyway and they are healthy and non-addictive, so why not incorporate a few? The book will explain these in detail, but you can learn a lot in the Holistic Healing section in the meantime.
Good luck! Remember we are here for you.
Love, Me
