This is my first visit here and I am the fearful newbie you are describing. What you wrote was so beautiful and visionary. I hope to be in your deep end of the pool. Thanks for writing that.

Wow,
From one irish lady to another...that was truly uplifting and inspirational.....I am sitting on the edge quietly watching but I am not going home.
Thanks so much for that.

I've been coming to this site for almost a week now, and the first time I've read this thread ..... great analogy ..... I am very much still sitting on the edge of the pool and wishing I could just jump in! I will do as suggested and dip my toes in a bit at a time to test the waters. Great site .... I won't be "going home".

Default advice for a newbe

Thank you Louise for your analogy and support. It has given me the courage to order the program and talk to my doctor. I got the book yesterday read every word...cried...felt hope...
Saw my doctor today, got topomax, and ordered the supplements and CDs.
Does anyone have advice on how to moderate myself until the supplements and CDs get here? Should I start on the topomax today or wait for my package?
The weekend is here and I'm a lota scared.
Thanks Much!!
Zoey

Zoey,

I'm back to day 1 AF because of a bad hangover from last night. I'm so ashamed of myself. I know better. I cried when I first read the book, too. I'm rereading it now. The topa helped me but it's up to you. I think I need to abstain, not mod, for a while. I need to heal my body. I don't feel well anymore. The CDs are wonderful and I strongly recommend them. Haven't talked with my dr yet. Was he/she receptable to this concept?

Take care

After reading that opening post I decided to take a leap into the pool and start getting control over my life, thank you for a very inspirational reading. I travel a lot so finding this web site is a blessing and something that I can review frequently. Thanks
