I can honestly say that I've had 1 binge since I started this, & that was the 1st w/end. Becuase I thought you had to drink to oblivion in order to make it work. I know better now.Have been keeping it to a minimum of 4 glasses/wine when I do drink. I've also found that my body is telling me it is tired of all the abuse. Not that I couldn't tie one on if I wanted too. But something is different. Last fw "outings" when I've kept it low I have had a headache lasting for days. Anyone experience this? Never happened before unless I did my almost daily bottle. Got your recommended L-Glutamine. Of course, not kicking in yet. Am really discouraged that after limiting myself to 3 even, the carb thing gets out of contrl. Next 3 nites should be easier as Husband is doing a nite shift. Works at local Power Plant w/crazy 12hr. days then, 12hr. nites. It helps me because we stay home for dinner. Therefore I control myself. Dinner out is a real trigger for me but, I don't want to give it up. It is our time to talk & play the trivia games. So anyway again, anybody suffer headaches after 3 drinks on Nal.?

No headaches, but I can definitely relate to the carb thing. Even if I have every intention of eating better, after a few drinks I'll pretty much eat anything that vaguely resembles a carbohydrate. I've started buying less junk and stocking more nuts and fruit, which seems to help a little. But when I'm out, it's hard to turn down that dessert. Wish there was a pill for carbs...

Wish there was too. Just Thankful to our Creator & the good people who researched this method. I get a lot of my gut feelings when I am driving. I love to drive. I was just rambling on to myself as always, & thinking about how in the world I was going to get over this hurdle in my life. I tried everything & spent lots, & lots, & lots of $$$$ over the years including praying on my hands & knees & weeping pitifully. Just so very lost. And whwen your' a drunk, it's a LONELY world locked inside yourself & hiding in shame & guilt. Anyway, that particular day something in my gut feeling told me to check internet. I did & was immediately led to this site. I'm glad I was paying attention. I know it's a tough road too, but sure beats a slow painful death when you know you've got more to do & give. Without coming clean, it's hard to be helpful to others. Thank you ALL so much for coming clean. It does feel better to talk to people that really know where you're coming from.
Keep On Trucking!

Yeah, Jane - exactly. Hard to get the gist of TSM across to people who haven't been there. Helps with the shame and guilt to realize that alcoholism is all about chemicals binding to receptors and not any sort of failure of character. We just happen to be better binders.
