Hi everyone, I have been hoverring here for a few weeks and have contacted a CDC who has supplied me with my first two weeks of products, I am about to have my first shake after this post. Today is the day.
However, I also have an additional hurdle, I believe that I am also alcohol dependent to a certain extent. Not a raging alcoholic or anything like that, but I have drank nearly every night for many years (a bottle of red wine or so) and if I am being honest with myself it is always the alcohol that has scuppered my attempts to lose weight.
So, I have taken the bull by the horns and been to my docs to ask for help. She has given me some mild sedatives to help me through the first few days and a drug called antabuse (frightened me to death cos I thought this was for real all day drinker alcys), she said that it will just ensure that I CANNOT drink alcohol, so it takes away the choice (wouldn't it be great if there was something that did this with food as well). She also said that if I did drink even a small amount I would be violently ill. It is my choice if I take the tablet every day, but it is an additional crutch to help me on my way.
So here goes, the first tablet has just gone and I am off for my first shake.
I hope you guys will still support me through this (I know it is a bit of a different case and some may shy away from me because of it), but I really need your support more than ever.
Just writing it down and admitting it to others is a huge relief, and I really feel that armed with the help of my docs, the CD diet and the support of you guys that this time will be it! I am very scared, but at the same time soooooo excited.
