    Scared

    Hello, everyone. I just made my first Topa order.

    I was sober for 10 years, drank for another 10 years, and have now been AF for two months. The first time I quit I went to AA for a few months, which I did not like - it was a microcosm of bad social behavior - but I no longer drank nonetheless. This time I quit on my own, but the urges have been outrageous. I am tired of white-knuckling it.

    So I went in search of a physician. Apparently my problem isn't serious enough. I ran into this problem in AA as well - "I sucked **** for beer money, and YOU are here cuz you drink a six-pack a day??" So I am going to help myself - with your support.

    Thank you for being here. Has anyone taken Topa whilst taking Prozac?

    Hi MW,
    Welcome to MWO. You'll get loads of help and support here, far more than from your dr. I can't answer your prozac question but just wanted to say Hi. I'm sure someone else will answer later

      Hello MonkeyWrassler,
      Thank you for coming here.
      I tried AA myself and didn't like it, even though a lot of people do.
      I hope you can find what you need.

          Hi MonkeyWrassler! It seems to be a thing around these boards with people having difficulties with their physicians. No matter if you have one drink a day and can't stop your physician should help you. I did the AA thing a few years ago as well and it wasn't my cup of tea. Hearing those stories over and over again, not to mention telling mine over and over again really impeded my recovery I believe. It was not a way of forgiving myself and letting go of the crap. Anyway....

          You are just as worthy as anyone else to get the help you need. You know this. So you do whatever you need to do to get where you want to. Don't let anyone or anything stand in your way!!!

            Welcome aboard MW. It sounds to me like you are really ready to knock this thing on the head. 2 months... WOW! I hope I can be in your shoes soon.

            It also sounds like Topa will help you a lot. Have you downloaded the book from this site? It's good for further inspiration!

              Welcome Monkey Wrassler - cool name!

              If beer is your poison. topa will help. I've been drinking beer since I was a kid - my dad used to give it to me as a treat. On topa, it tastes like crap.

              A problem is a problem as you define it. I'm not a huge drinker, but it gets it my way, so I have a drinking problem. I want my life to be better than that.

                  Hello Monkey

                  I have just ordered my first topa online. I am not sure about the prozac thing but if you do some research I am sure you will find the information you need. There is heaps on the net about topa. Go easy. I am going to stick to the program ease on to the topa and take the vitimans and do the cd's. If it works how it says might as well not reinvent the wheel. Ange
