Keke,

yes, my boyfriend has been amazingly supportive. I think he was concerned about my drinking and never said anything until I brought it up myself. This week he as been amazing, and my lack of drinking until pie-eyed has kept his drinking down as well. When we used to drink I was always the one that kept us going way past the point we should have.

Yesterday, I had the same kind of day. I think I topped at 4 drinks. I used to drink well into 8 or 10 or more. This week has been a true test as I was visiting friends that I've typically drank with until early morning hours. I've been to bed by 10:30 to 11:30 every night. I haven't been drunk once in 6 days even though I have a plethora of alcohol available to drink. I'm stopping at 4 (or less as I don't seem to be interested in finishing my last drink of the evening. I'm amazed. I am enjoying the drinks, but have NO desire to get drunk. It is so weird! Given that I am on holidays, this would be the opportunity for me to really giver, and it's just not happening. I feel so happy about that.

For what it's worth ... I was AF for nine years and then started again about 6 years ago. It only started getting bad recently. I think I may have caught it early enough. So, we'll see. It seems to be working, and I'll continue to keep it in check. I am very glad to have found this program and to have a place that I can discuss the issue and read other people's experiences. It helps a great deal.

It sounds like you are doing well, and just ignore your hubby and keep doing your thing! You know what you need!

New Day ... I've been taking about 1000 mg of L-Glut a day (plus 900 of the Kudzu). I also find that the Gaba is helping (500 mg a day). I have heard though that dropping the powder (L-Glut) under your tongue when you have a strong craving works very well. I'm not taking the topa and have no plans to unless the supplements don't work. So far they seem to be all that I am needing to curb the cravings. Cheers to you and good luck!
