Thank you Morgs and Faith...your responses really help. Morgs please don't worry about finishing a response if you don't have the time- I completely understand how that goes. Everything you've posted to me has been really helpful and supportive. You are a sweetheart.

Faith- go check out those really cool laundry fairies that Starfish put up on this thread for me! Aren't they cute? I hope that you will bea belt to nip the alchohol in the bud before it becomes a more and more serious problem. It's the dosage that is the problem for those of us who use it to self-medicate- of course you have to keep increasing the dosage until the point comes where you are often sick or dysfunctional. My biggest problem with it is that give me a bottle of something and I do not know how to stop. Ok now that I've triggered myself I'd better go and take my kids to the park or something.

Have to take my pills two times more today. Hardest part is eating half-an-hour later. arg.

Thanks for the support, me hearties!
