Hey there! Welcome to the "no steps" group! We actually support however you are choosing to get sober - even if you do use a 12-step group! Just friends supporting friends in whatever is working for them. Glad to have you in the group. I'm trying hard to keep it interesting, thought provoking and drama free!!!
Hug
hey, how are you? glad to hear you are getting healthy my friend. listen, i looked at your profile and you and i have lots in common. one thing i notice is that pms is really hard for you-especially without booze. i am taking flax seed (mix it with yogurt, can also but oil or horse pills) and have noticed a huge improvement with my pms symptoms, and energy level. I really dont think this is all in my head-this stuff really helps. It cant hurt anyhow, and i see you are looking to get healthy, just thought i would spread the news of this stuff, and i have a hard time noticing anything helping usually. hey, where do you live in IL btw? parents from mount prospect
Hug
Thank you so much - I would be so glad to be your friend. I am a really intelligent person, ands have some good advice, though right now I seem to be having a hard time. Have a good day!

Close Alcoholism
Trying to gain control.
Treatments
- Cold Turkey Too Soon to Tell
- Willpower Working / Worked
- If I focus on drinking I drink. When I don't, I don't. This realization is helping.
Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery
Been a smoker for 17 years. Smoke Ultra Lights, but about a pack a day. Have tried to quit countless times. Have really been chaining since I quit drinking.
Treatments
- Cold Turkey Somewhat Helpful
- Excrutiating
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Made me very weird. Did not want to quit.
- Willpower Somewhat Helpful
- Nicotine Patch Somewhat Helpful
- Have done this about four or five different times. Works, but need something when you come off of it.
Open Anxiety
Have suffered from anxiety for a long time. Used alcohol as a coping skill. Recently decided to cool my jets with the booze. So now I'm left with total despair and that overwhelming feeling that nothing will ever be okay again. Magnesium is REALLY helping!
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
- Laid on bed today for about 20 minutes with subliminal CD (accompanied by calming music), focused on my breath. Felt A LOT better when I got up.
- Magnesium Working / Worked
- This is helping a lot. I take one a day with dinner. Eye twitching has stopped too:)
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Using Abraham-Hicks website to inspire me.
- Yoga Too Soon to Tell
- This has helped in the past. Need to be consistent in doing it.
- Meditation Too Soon to Tell
- Has worked before... also need to be consistent.

I am a crazy wicked bitch during this time. Noticing it more since breaking alcohol addition.
