My daughter and my oldest son are alcoholics. My daughter has been sober for a good number of months now, and her body is starting to recover. My son is a functioning alcoholic, and sees no reason to stop drinking. We really don't talk about it anymore. He lives 1400 miles away, and I accepted a long time ago that his life is in his hands.

Thank you for educating about the medications.

I don’t know how it works but it does it’s like a oil change for my brain keeps my chemical fluids correct

Good luck and have a safe weekend.

Whatever works best is the key as far as I am concerned. I am an Overeaters Anonymous survivor. Came into the program weighing about 210. Now, I am at about 155. Been at a lower weight since 1982. The program saved my life. I am here because in the early 80s I followed the program & went to meetings. Many meetings have been cancelled, but I still try to call people and think about all this.
..Here is the key for me. I have not been perfect. But I think of the program many times a day, and consider the consequence of gaining that weight back.....For me...death!.
...I have met many fine people in the program and the literature is outstanding, but I would be lying if I said it was ..."easy" It is not easy, but I am grateful that I am here typing these words more than 40 years after my first meeting which was in 1980. I don't know what else to say. We hang in there, do the very best we can do, try not to beat ourselves up if we make mistakes.., and keep coming back.
