So I gave up drinking.

You're a pretty girl and by the looks of you picture I'm assuming you could take off about 8 or 10 years off of your appearance if

Get the the book "The Easy Way To Stop Drinking" by Allen Carr... The book covers a very simple brain-based method...intuitively utilized in many areas of life/ambitions/goals, since the the beginning of the brain.

...This is a method modeled after those rare individuals who have the intuitive and unique ability to effortlessly quit any habit desired...even the seemingly "impossible" habits that get in the way of larger goals/ambitions. And most importantly, much better...way better...infinitely better than than the ridiculous 12-step/90days90meetings BS that has a success rate of only about 5 percent after 5 years.

Oh yeah, and also get plenty of magnesium (preferably the citrate version 400-600mg daily), zinc picolinate (20-30mg) in addition of a of a quality B complex Vitamin supplement and 1000mg Vit. C...or better yet the best multi-vitamin with all bio-active versions of of B vitamins known as AOR's Ortho-Core multi-vitamin (it's a little pricey, but well worth the price). Add Omega 3 fish oil for overall health and mental function.

5-HTP (150-250mg) supplement, 5grams L-Glutamine (optimized , 3mg's of melatonin and 5000iu's of vitamin D3 to quickly optimize serotonin level's and lower craving's of simple carb's such as the extremely simple carb's such as alcohol and other sugary foods/drinks you may start craving after you stop (Take these with magnesium/zinc about an hour before bedtime for amazing sleep and dreams). (Take the B-complex or AOR's Ortho-Core multi-vitamin half-in-morning/half-in-afternoon)

These along with the nutrients mentioned first, especially magnesium/zinc/b-complex, will lower anxiety and induce a calm, relaxed, yet mentally clear state of mind.

Consume plenty of protein and Omega-fatty-acides (3-6-9) and whole foods (fruit, veggies, meats). 2Tbs. of Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar for optimum body PH, healthy joints and an overall healthy cleansed body/organs/joints.

High Intensity workout 3 times a week for optimum beta-endorphin production and of course the obvious...healthier body.

After 2 or 3 months of loading your body with the necessary nutrients then you'll be able to cut back on the supplements and only take nutrients on the day's you work out.

Quit smoking.

That's my suggestion.

I am an alcoholic too. The last time I quit drinking I barely made it to the hospital where I still nearly died from withdrawal. I went to a lot of A.A. meetings before and since that day and they work for me and others like me. I am lucky. I did not lose everything. I still have the love of my wife and children, family and a few friends. But I lost a lot. Alcoholism and addiction are a purely mean form of hell. Thank God and the Universe that there is help for those that suffer it.

I no longer crave drink or drugs, and I so very grateful every day and every night for the gift of a sober life.

Do what ever it takes and I wish you the very best.

Well said, Doc.

sober now 4 months. I am more pissed at the world than ever before. I have whacked out dreams every night. I don't go to AA. Just stay bored out of my mind and work. Want to hang out? Every one I know drinks or smokes weed. I don't want to go to church, but I plan on staying sober.

You can be mad at your bf but really it does you no good to base your accomplishments in regards to whether or not HE can quit drinking, its all about YOU, not only being able to curb that urge to drink, but even larger hurdles. Like having the self control to not have to entirely clean house when it comes to a change in surroundings or friends/company. Blaming your bf for your habit will not help you COMPLETELY heal, and maybe he is not the right one, but ive seen people recover that give everyone the axe in order to gain control, and still thats not totally in control. Totally in control would be to not JONES while most friends around you drank, this mshould include your better half/other half. Thats just my take, good luck though, alcohol kills in many ways.
