I sometimes take my NAL on my way home from work in anticipation of having wine when I get home. Then I get home and somehow don't end up drinking after all. What are the ramifications of taking NAL and then not drinking? I welcome your input.

Pumpkin, I think you are much better off taking nal and not drinking than drinking without taking nal. I'm guessing you are concerned about receptor up-regulation, but that should only apply if you then were to drink the next day without nal and get an enhanced reward. Think of it this way. If you were a heroin addict and you took nal because you had a craving but then the craving went away you wouldn't shoot heroin just because you had already taken your nal. It's the same principle just a different magnitude. Hey, it's great that the craving past. Soon you will delay taking the nal, then you won't take the nal and won't drink. Sounds like you are making great progress.

I wanted to find the Dr. Eskapa post that I was remembering when I gave you my opinion so here it is straight from the man. http://www.thesinclairmethod.net/community/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=81&p=515&sid=9be1a1c1ffad79f39421d0b27dd9a00b&sid=9be1a1c1ffad79f39421d0b27dd9a00b#p515 The short version is don't make a habit out of nal + no drinking but occasionally it won't do harm.

Thanks for your input. It very helpful!
