Seems dead here....
I've been waiting to respond to posts...and there aren't any new ones...lately.
So, I will give an update on how I AM doing.
Ehh....trying to regulate medication...trying to use herbs vs. antidepressents. Because of weight gain.
Trying to use herbs instead of sleeping pills.
Well, last night I took 5HTP and puked my brains out all night. Probably because I have Seritonin coming from almost every drug I take (overload).
This SO reminded me of being drunk and sick. Even thou I didn't throw up much when I drank (unless I was 2 weeks into drinking)...
I felt like a loser.
Here I am trying to do all the right things...and still getting sick.
Went to Dr. yesterday I was a total MESS.... knew I was a MESS...but you really don't know how much of a MESS you are until you start talking to someone...LOL.
I have not drank...I am still taking Campral....I am hoping I don't ever drink again

Hi misssey and all
Am still here and would have replied. For some reason I've had no email notifications, only to a site I've not joined.
i thought this forum had gone dead too! Just trawled through and found it again.
glad to hear you're not too bad and paper fairy and Deirdre too.
am ok so long as I have my social drinking. It's gone ok so far, but to be honest it's creeping up again.
Husband had heart op and so off work. I've noticed no ladies lunch, so no drink. He's back at work now, so have several plans which include alcohol. I know I've missed being out and drinking. Feel very guilty which shows my alcohol is more important than keeping him stress free. Help?

Vickylou, perhaps check your junk mail/spam folder to see if the notifications are showing up there. If you click on your username, it will take you to your profile, then you can click the "Settings" button twoards the right of your username (you'll see Settings, Messages, Notifications). It has what looks like a gear or cog on it. You'll see your email settings there.
What are you using to combat AUD these days?

vicky! Sorry about your husband...of course you care..but it is also stressful...I had an X and child that had open heart and I used that as an excuse to drown my sorrow....
Then I took MORE time out of work using them both at 2 different times of a season to take MORE time out of work...to drink.
YES, I was taking care of them...and yes it was stressful...but drinking eased that for me back then and back then I didn't get violently sick when I drank...I had some control (only drinking in evenings) and not over doing it EVERY TIME.
So don't beat yourself up for wanting to drink. I just worry like for myself...the time when it gets out of control and affects YOUR health and relationships...with others and family.
