I want to say thank you to all of you who participate in this forum and for all the help and compassion I have received here. Good success to all of us in this new year. Let's all turn the corner together.
Thank you N101CS, lena, nick, LoOp (for all your :mrgreen:

ieness)

As for myself, a report. I am doing well, but still am able to manage the 10 units per day. I have saved my marriage, I have not been inebriated, I have been participating in my own day to day life. I go to events and I "am there." I remember who I talk to, I have sober behavior, but by continuing to drink, I am "only fooling myself".
I am introducing more Baclofen into my mix, and I have stopped taking the Wellbutrin. I did have some success with the WB as I was able to extremely reduce my cigarette habit which had not been too bad, maybe a package a week, but now it is one or two a day.

I was so upset and suicidal about my marriage, so since that is back on a extremely positive course, I eliminated the WB in favor of starting to add more Baclofen to my day.

Oh, this is my thought, last night when I came in from a wonderful NYE dance party, I just could not slow down, I could not fall asleep. I wanted to drink more, just to stop..
This is what I wrote: " I am overstimulated. How do I de-stimulate?"

It was a profound thought for me, that is why I drink many times, so I must find something that calms me, so I am able to integrate the input to my mind.

So dear friends, that's my thought for my new year to be.

ART - so glad everything is going so well. Hope it continues and 2010 brings more improvements. Positive thinking is key. I am very happy for all the upturns and rewards you have seen. Best wishes into the new year!

ART,

I know in my heart that these are the very first days of what is going to be one of the best years of your life. It is coming and YOU deserve it. I know nothing more of you than words printed on a screen, but that alone is enough for me to confidently proclaim that you are one of my most favorite people in the whole wide world. If I ever find myself in a 'European Country' I would consider it a privilege to take you out for coffee, or a glass of red. It won't matter which because neither of us will care.

ART - I think that says it all about what is most important, and shows how far you've come. What a fabulous way to start the New Year! I'm SO happy for you, and I agree with Lo0p : You'll always be one of my favorite people.

Congratulations!
