HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY ANN!!appy You're catchin' up with me!ol 29 again HUH?:rollin Hey enjoy your B-day! But even if ya just make yourself drink a tall glass of water in between each drink or beer or whatever your pleasure... happens to be... the time that takes, & the time you'll spend going to "write yer Name" (in the snow) will slow down your drinking & you'll love yourself for it tomorro!appy ....:P ...Judie

Judie! Thanks for the great ideas! Who would have thunk it?? I never drink water while drinking beer, will tonight!!

Maybe it will help, couldn't hurt right?

Hi Gabby
I managed not to drink on thursday but slipped up next night. I'v started the supps though so i'm getting geared up for monday as well. I'm so glad i'v found this site. the support is great. THANKS. I don't think i will be able to mod as i tried that on thurs. I have a couple of nights out coming up that i can't get out of and will be expected to be as merry as everyone else ( drunk ) I don't know how i will fair up as i said i don't think i could mod. I would love to go back to the old days when i only drank when i went out but that i think could be a long way off.
Thanks again for all the support

Looks like we can both shoot for Monday! At least we are rational about it and I am not beating myself up about it (for a change). We are not bad people! I just can't wait and may try to start on Sunday (or tomorrow, who knows?) At least we have this program (and eachother)appy to help...... Hang in there, I haven't even tried anything w/ the meds yet (just some of the supps) so can't wait to receive the topa.

Talk to you soon,

Mary Anne:d

Hi Mary Anne
I'm feeling very good about this.I'm not to sure about the topa though. I'v beed on lots anti-deps and had all the side effects you could think of. Im' taking the glutamine and kudzu. I'v read some of the boards and pleased to see that some people said it worked for them. So i'm hoping i won't need to take topa but if the worst comes to the worst i'll give it a go.This is the kind of support we both need, don't you think? never thought i would ever feel good about giving up the grog. good luck for tomorrow or monday. keep posting and let me know how you fair up

Well, just got home from dinner and am eating and drinking everything in sight!! this new antidepressant!! Serequel! I rad that it increased the appetite, but thought "hog-wash!" well, it is true, I have eaten more today than I did last week ..all week!!

I can't wait to give the topa a try, hopefully it works or it is back to try AA for me...........I am that hopeless at this point.

I have heard it works for many on this program, so hopefully it works for me too..only tome will tell, han in there!!

Mary Anne
