Oh dear Meggie - sorry to hear that - Nal Overs are the pits ! BUT if it helps to make us not drink as much then that is a good thing ! I wonder why you wanted the buzz so much ? Any ideas?

Hugs, Maggie x

Last night was better and I hope to I can stop drinking. I am now moving on to month 5 on January 5th. Please let the new year be better.

It will be Meggie - faith and patience !!! Just keep following the Golden Rule and plodding on - it will eventually work for you !!

Hugs, Maggie x

Ok, I am ready, vacation is over and I have to go to work tomorrow. Please let this pill work, Jan 5 on to 5 months. I am drinking less but not like you others. November was great but did worse when I was alone during the holidays. Dear Lord, give me the strength.

Meggie - you are still really early days! the book is way wrong with it's time line in it saying that it takes 3 months ! Look at me - a YEAR! But I am there! And you will be too! Just stick to the Golden Rule!

HUGS, Maggie xx

jaba and megs, you are both so helpful. I am feeling rather depressed and have read through the most recent threads. I did so well in November and so poorly in December. I feel like you did Mags, will this ever work, am I the one it won't work for . Should I try to go up or just keep on pluggin. I do know that when I talk to people on the phone I drink a lot. Tonight I am only researching the site trying to find support and wisdom.
What is C=3 and how can they help me.
Jaba, I am back to the gym. I signed up for two gyms,one for weights the other for classes.

Meggie - if you are just going into 5 months, then it is still fairly early days - I know it doesn't seem like it and I thought it was NEVER going to work for me - but if you just keep plodding on, it will. I personally would not go up yet - wait another couple of months and then if you are still stagnating, maybe go up then - but I do not think it helps until at least 6 months - just my opinion though! I did up my dose some time ago and it didn't help me at all.... until this time. I know that it seems as if you are not getting anywhere but you really are - each time you drink (having taken a nal) then you are working towards extinction. And if you drink when on the phone - try not having a drink near you when on the phone - those drinks are mindless ones. Or try NOT drinking when on the phone. Or have water when on the phone - change the habit! It is little things like that - chisel away at the habit, that help with the overall end result!

Hang in there, Hugs, Maggie x
