For 20 years I suffered a serious drinking problem but was reluctant to seek help. Ironically, I was recognized as a proficient researcher, able to help others with their medical problems. I worked closely with doctors, some of whom were close friends. But I still felt the need to deal with my own problem privately. Then after years of study and a number of remarkable events, I developed a program that completely turned my life around. A recovery program that incorporates medication (Topamax, Campral or other meds as they become available); supplements including amino acids, vitamins, and the powerful anti-craving herb kudzu; a highly customized hypnotherapy program; and light exercise. It's done privately in your home with free support and mentoring on our incredible web based discussion board. The program works quickly and effectively to put you on the road to recovery.

My adoptive parents provided a warm and loving home for my brother, sister and me, and were what I would consider to be social drinkers, the kind I would yearn to become later in life. They used alcohol in moderation. Dad would usually pop open a beer after a long day at the job-typically before starting an after-work second shift building our new house, developing the property in which they'd invested, or simply putting in all the hard hours it took to grow the family business. Mom usually had a cocktail only when we went out for a special occasion.

It didn't seem like a problem for me in high school or college-it was called partying back then and everyone did it. My grades were good and I saved my fun for the weekends, just like other kids. Looking back, I think I enjoyed drinking more than many of my peers, but I was generally enthusiastic about most things and it certainly didn't seem like cause for concern.

I was in my mid to late twenties-it had pretty much become a daily affair, and frankly I was more comfortable with someone who didn't make me feel guilty about it. We were together six years before we started a family, so we enjoyed our time fishing, camping, running a new business, and spending time with friends. Drinking not only didn't interfere with our life; it seemed to enhance it.

By the time our babies came along, it had become clear to me that abstinence was not going to be easy, but I gave it my best shot. I held out for the entire term of the first pregnancy, but despite what I knew about alcohol passing into breast milk, I started drinking an occasional cocktail at night while nursing.
