Re: Need support - delighted by what I'm reading!

Dragongirl,

Keep us posted, in spite of your struggles and failures.

Believe me, I understand totally where you're at. I'm only five days removed from it, and pulling myself out.

Yes, fasting can be very tough. And it's not for everyone. But...the all or nothing approach works best for me. I didn't want to fast over the holidays. I'd reached absolute bottom, and I was finally ready.

You might consider G. Cousen's information in Conscious Eating. He has a chapter on beating alcohol addiction. It's also included in his Depression book. When I tried his formula of vitamins and minerals, the craving dissipated by 75%. Enough to give many, perhaps most, people a leg up.

The bible on the non-group approach is Seven Weeks to Sobriety by Joan Mathews Larson. In fact, that's where Cousen's got much of his own information.

You're not just a "drunk" dragongirl. You're a good person struggling with a chemical dependency.

You'll be fine.

Dave
