Hi,
I bought it online and tried it for a while. It worked VERY WELL, but MY side effects were to much for me. I have looked at this sight for quite some time and other people didn't experience the side effects I did and have had great success. It gave me enough time to change bad habits and continue to take the supplements. One of the biggest reasons I drank was to make sure I slept well (how foolish I was). I do have a prescription for ambien by my Doctor.. My advice, if you have NO HEALTH problems at ALL... and NOBODY will help you, then it's worth a shot. It's worth saving our own lives.

This book (MWO) was the best platform from which to jump. You have to fine tune the advice to make it work for you. I, at first, dismissed the supplements. But after being on them for 5 weeks (and granted, I am not totally sober, but I have not had more than 1 or 2 at a time (day) and have been AF more in the passed 28 days then 2 years),, actually feel that they make a difference.

PS.. My doctor dismissed me too, also sending me to a pshychologist. By this time, I had three week of Topa under my belt though. I did GO to the therapist and they offered me anti-depressants, which I have a script for but have not yet filled and a script for Ativan which I have not filled either. She did offer me an ambien script which I already had (I felt like I coulld have asked for anything and she would have gave it to me). I will not fill them unless I feel like I need additional help.

This is my first time in any type of "help" or "program" and I love it here. Stay if you will, these people are just like all of us...

Be prepared to wait for online Topa without a script. Aclepsa has been reliable and inexpensive but it takes about a month to receive an order. When first starting out, always start at the lowest dose of 25 mg and never dose up faster than 25 mg a week even if you have no side effects at all.

I haven't read the book yet either, I guess I'm looking for a quick fix. So you think starting the suppliements without the Topa is a good place to start?

LookingFor: I hope you will read the book... this forum is a GREAT place for support and for reading about the experiences of others... but if you try to put together a plan just by asking for advice, you will end up with a haphazard plan/program, and that is not likely to be truly helpful for you. There really are no quick fixes... I am glad you came here. Remember that this is not just a support group/forum; it is also a program, and a very effective program... and it requires a lot of work and strong commitment...

best wishes,

Thank you for your response. I am going to order the book today and start there. I know their aren't any quick fixes but I have tryed so many things that haven't worked that I wish I could find the right "formula" for me...

Yup, I think all of us here understand that... So much of it depends on our own level of commitment (or maybe desperation? they are not unrelated), and willingness to make some very difficult changes in our lives... If you have those elements, the other pieces of the "formula" will fall into place.

Glad you are getting the book! Best wishes.
