Just Starting Out

Hi All. Found this site yesterday while researching Topamax. I ordered the book, the CDs, and the Supps from the Health store and Anxiously await them. Also picked up the phone, called my physician, told her about MWO, and asked if she would prescribe Topo for me. She agreed to, as long as I stay in touch with my weight and see her in a month. I have had a drinking problem for about 15 years now. I only drink at night, so during the day everyone thinks I am the perfect mother and wife. I am a good mother and wife, but not when I have had 6 glasses of wine at night! I feel so desparate. I am not sure how this works. It is a bit overwheming, all the boards, but someone please help me! Thank you! Boo

Hi Boo and Welcome!

You sound just like alot of us! Many of us, myself included our Mothers and Wifes....with many responsibilites yet we have a drinking problem. Keep reading and posting and you will find the help that you need. The book will help with alot of your questions, read it when you get it and until then keep reading this site!

Best withes to you!

Thank you Tammie for you kind words of encourangement. I have been sitting at the computer just waiting! This really means I am not alone. Thank you, thank you! I have to go to a luncheon now, but cannot wait to get back home to see if I hear from others. Boo

Hi Boo! And welcome aboard, I think you'll like it here. We're a pretty friendly bunch. This program is an incredible journey back, to getting your "life back". I know mine was so out of control for so long, I was really losing sight of so many things that I love. It's a wonderful feeling to to not feel like a "wounded soul" anymore. Hugs, Judie

HI Boo,
Welcome to MWO, like Tammie said, there are many here in the same situation. Its awesome your doctor agreed to prescribe topa. Many have problems getting from their doc.

My physician recommended I take one 25MG. Tablet twice a day. One in the morning and one at night. Can anyone tell me what the book suggest. I got the prescription filled this morning and am ready to get going on the MWO Program!
Boo

Hi Boo, the book recommends 25mg 1x day 1st week.
And 25mg. 2 x a day 2 nd week

Welcome Boo
