I didn't see much progress in Jan or Feb (still drinking 6 days a week), but the past two weeks the cravings or desire to drink have tapered off. I've gone to maybe one AF day a week to about four or five. I slipped last weekend and binged, but then went all this week without nothing. I took my nal last night and drank quite a few because I didn't have to work today...but I really didn't get any enjoyment out of it. I woke up this morning asking myself why I did that. I think this might be the point where I just don't want to drink anymore. We'll see.

Hallo Blue Ridge - yes it definitely sounds as if the Nal is starting to really work for you. I think one gets to a point where we are drinking out of habit - as you said, you didn't really enjoy it - so then you have to make a conscious decision NOT to drink .... that is what happened with UK Blonde !

Hugs, Maggie x

Did someone call my name?

Hi Blue Ridge thanks for sharing your story, sounds like you've been in and out of alcohol quite a bit and already know your own habits very well.

It sounds like your feelings about alcohol are changing, and that can be a definite side effect of TSM :lol:
