Julie:

I thought I'd check in here since my post to the other thread got lost.

I have sucked thus far at my "no alcohol month". I think it's been worse for me this time than before, which is odd. Maybe I'm rebelling already? Hmmm. Not sure.

Then, I've been playing mind games with myself, convinced I've Ruined my liver, even though my tests just came back fine. It's like a vicious, horrifically unhealthy circle.

Part of my problem is anxiety as well, which you, Greg and I seem to have in common. Even more so, though for me, is trouble with (bad)obsessive thoughts and going down on the Topamax has made that much worse again. But, my Depakote dose was upped and it seems better today.

There is no way I could cut back on drinking or stop without help from meds. You may be different, but please don't get discouraged if it takes trying another med, if it takes awhile. Alcohol really helps and harms us. Nobody wants to admit the "helping" part b/c then it's as if you're condoning the misuse of it. (What's the Correct use of it, really though? ;))

So, I've done Horribly! And am starting again today.

- K
