Masma. hope all goes well.

truly wishing you all the luck and strength you are going to need, BUT when you get through it, it will be the best feeling, you will be so proud of him. Dont forget your aber friends for support and also there is the website famanon.org.co.uk, people in the same boat, all helps you get through each day. Im talking from experience and althought the road ahead is rocky its no worse than what u have already been through, and with the support of a loving family it can be achieved. XX

masma,
all good wishes are sent to you and your son. My brother has an alcohol dependency. So sad. x

[bigglez]

have lots of juices available esp blackcurrent. Good luck

I have gone through the same thing masma. My doctor prescribed Campral and it is fantastic. It acts on the chemical changes that have taken place in the brain during the years that you have been drinking alcohol. It has kept me alcohol free for over three years. Do ask your doctor about it and good luck.

We're not too bad thanks Anne, one day at a time... our boy is being very good at the moment, bit quiet but only once has he said "I could do with a drink" we talked about it and he was fine - long may it last!
Thanks for asking xx

[chrissa1]

Masma, did you read my post? Every bit of help is a good thing. Ask your doctor about it. Best wishes.

[anneasquith]

masma, so he has had an alcohol free day.......................excellent news .

[rsvp]

hope it goes well -

[masma]

Chrissa...He has a doctor coming in every morning this week, he's been put on Acamprasate which is the same tablet as yours. Thank you so much for your post - we don't have much support and it means a lot to have some from ABers. Well done you for being alcohol free - I hope I can be posting the same about my son in 3 years time.

[masma]

Anne - 8pm tonight and it'll be 4 days :-)

[Quassia]
