Good morning all.
I first heard of this website and program on a radio station. My best friend and I both decided to try it and are amazed!
I have not been to the doctor yet but will be going this week. I'm going to request the Topa and hope I don't get any resistance from her. I have the CD's and the supps and for the first time ever feel like I don't have to wake up and drink or suffer from a hangover for the work day till I can get home to start up again!
I am still enjoying wine and beer but have drastically cut down and amazed at how easy it has been. My obsession has changed to take it or leave it?! I tried AA and even checked myself into an outpatient treatment, which was the biggest joke ever (another post, another time!). I know that the AA program has worked for a lot of people and don't mean to get down on it but as a woman it made me feel "powerless" over life and ashamed. All I thought about was that I would NEVER be able to have a glass of wine or a few beers at a social event again, which made me turn to the bottle harder to "show them". Crazy thinking but I couldn't even understand it myself! Then I read MWO and a lot of postings here and suddenly realized I wasn't hopeless or powerless but quite the opposite! Not only has this change my attitude toward alcohol but life!
I'm excited to only improve on myself and change my life for the better with this program. Having the support of my best friend and the chats is key also. I don't feel like I have loser alcoholic tatooed on my forehead anymore! I feel like I'm a woman who made some choices that were not the best for me and now I have a great way to change those for good.
Thanks for listening to me ramble, I'm just excited and happy and it has been a long time since I could say that!!!!

:eek Now I can , do what I want & not worry about who sees me, because I know, they aren't gonna see me "down & out" & at their meeting in another week, because "I've hit the bottle" again.
