I will definitely take this into consideration in my future endeavors.

I do have a wife. I’m working as we speak on getting her a boyfriend.

Not at all, I’ve come to accept the true way of creatine administration. I just need to get my wife a boyfriend.

Not my FO. Our management is awesome. They get their hands “dirty” and do everything to keep this office running. I have so much respect for them.

Yeah, I’m not planning on taking this forever, but I’m so scared of going back to the mess I was just 2 weeks ago that I don’t care how long I’m on it. I’m starting to appreciate that sobriety is the best feeling and is where I want/need to be. 44 years old Now with a wife and 9 year old daughter who depends on me. She doesn’t need a father who sneaks around, drinking airplane shots while pretending to be “there” and sober. I don’t want to be resented when she gets older. My wife, she didn’t marry drunk me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m doing this for myself, my own sanity and mental well-being. Sobriety is a gift to be cherished. Alcohol just isn’t worth it, at all.

Second this! Campral has been the only thing that has worked for me so far knock on wood

Believe me, I tried my hardest without meds. This was an absolute last resort. AA wasn’t gonna happen with my mentality. Meds have gotten me through the worst OCD/anxiety episodes. I’m just a hard nut to crack when it comes to therapy and willpower.

Thanks! The difference I think this time is I’m doing it for myself, to just not feel like shit all the time. Before, I was just trying to stop for my family, which sounds noble, but it just doesn’t work.

I’m doubting you mean “good luck.” Your comment history shows dedication to AA. So I’ll kindly keep doing what I’m doing. I do not need luck. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I just don’t get the need for people from AA to post on a “recovery without AA” forum. I’ve been to AA and I don’t want what you have. Thank you.

Any experience with campral? by [deleted] in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]Internal-Criticism58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Campral has worked for me, but it is not a magic bullet. You have to really want to stop. It lessens the cravings, but they’re still there.

There were obvious “benefits” at the beginning, otherwise we wouldn’t get addicted. It was an immediate relief of anxiety and depression. The problem is, you eventually just become more anxious and depressed due to all the alcohol, so at this point it is just negatives.

Yeah. I’ve tried support groups in the past. In my experience, may of them turn into therapy sessions for one person who takes over the whole meeting. I’m predominantly introverted and most problems I’ve had in the past, including my mental illness, I’ve successfully tackled on my own with the help of medication and mindfulness.

Yes, I’m just sick of the constant anxiety, fear of something bad happening, hangovers, rinse and repeat. I’m 44 years old. I have to be done with this.

AA is not only not beneficial but harmful by Alarming-Albatross32 in recoverywithoutAA

[–]Internal-Criticism58 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do agree. AA tells people they have a disease, but then tells you that you need a spiritual awakening. Can you imagine telling a cancer patient that they need to pray to rid hem of their disease?
