starting out

Hi all:

Found this board a couple of days ago. So many stories and issues I read about resonated with my own I felt like a member even while I was just lurking...

This is the first time I've confessed to anyone but myself that I've got a problem with drinking. Feels strange, but good in a way.

I'm hoping to start with abstinence for a month, and take it from there. I'm terribly short on cash at the moment (I really am a painter; need I say more?) and I ran out of money after picking up the supplements. I'll have to get the book when I can, but for the time being please bear with my lack of knowledge.

I'm starting this a.m. Feels strange to ask a group of strangers to wish me luck, but... please wish me luck.

GOOD LUCK!
Welcome, Painter!
Glad you were able to get the supps. Did you find the chart with the dosage? Since you do not have the book yet, you can find a lot of the information regarding supplements right here. Look under "HOME", then to the left "important program updates".
Read, and post, and tell us more about yourself. There is a new abstinance event starting for June, so you will have excellent support!

Hi Painter,

Welcome! Glad to hear you were able to get the supps. They are very helpful! You can download the book and save some money that way. Also, under the June abs event, starting tomorrow, there will be a post outlining all the basics of the program for you. You can find the event on the discussion board under "Surf Into Suumer Abs Event"...I am pretty sure that's what it is under. Don't hesitate to ask questions, we are here to help each other! Welome aboard, and best of luck to you.

Hey Painter, I'm a painter/waitress. Just recently gone back to waiting tables after painting all winter. With the summer tourist season, it's a nice change to go run circles & throw food @ people!ol Welcome aboard! The supps do make a big diff. Are you going to try Meds too?

Hi:

Thanks for the welcomes and info!

I can't download the book yet (credit card is at limit), but I should be able to in the next few days. That'll be a help. The June abstinence event sounds good, too. Thanks for the pointers.

I'm going to try without the meds at first. If I find it's too difficult to stick to the program without then I'll give them a go.

Hope you have a good summer throwing food, saint jude! I'll be throwing paint - shows coming up - but I do occasionally throw food when a painting's going badly....

Oh, my type of painting is "finish & trim painting" not quite as creative as what you're doing!ol

Hi Painter & welcome!!

Everything material needed for the program will eventually be yours. Something that is totally priceless (and yours for the taking), is the wonderful advice, empathy, honesty and strength on these boards. And on a light note, I have come across some of the funniest, wittiest people ever!! You have come to a great place!!

Cheers
