P.S. Addendum to Last Post

Thanks for all the great comments and the emails you sent after the last post. I love the support and feedback. Keep the comments coming! :)

Several of you expressed curiousity, via email, about the "loudmouth" in my class who was going to eat his heart out all weekend. People wondered if he came back. Yes, he was back. Yes, he proudly told us that he ate all weekend. He started the shakes on the Tues after Labor Day, so just a couple of days ago. He had less of an attitude last night, so that's good, but he still asks a ton of questions and makes some pretty strange comments. I actually feel kind of sorry for the guy in a way -- he waited til his wife (who is also on the program) left the room to go to the bathroom (so obviously something he's hiding from her) and then asked our health educator how to handle the withdrawal from alcohol symptoms. I guess he was wondering if anyone else had that problem. He shared that he was used to having 4-5 drinks a day and it's been hard the last two days not to have that and could he cut out the alcohol gradually. Sounds like he needs a different program in addition to this one!
