Not sure if I am following you. While in the throws, I used to be able to drink one or two without committing to the night. Wasn't easy, but if I had to, I could.

If you are talking about what life is like after starting the Sinclair Method then the only answer is to drink as normal.

If you are asking what it is about after a prolonged sucess on the Sinclair Method, then each repondent would have his/her own story. I drink rarely but if I do allow myself to drink to excee, I am still able t loose control. As I tell my friends, Naltrexone will slow the train down to a point where it is safe to jump. I don't think the train ever stops.

0 for me also...the minute I set out to drink the flood gates were open...it was about drink 2-3 that really hit me with a bang and I just kept going chasing and maintaining the buzz till I blacked-outed and passed-out where I fell.

For me it was two. I could have one or two and stop with BIG EFFORT. I'm pretty sure once I hit three, I was in it for the night almost without exception.

3 - 5. Depending upon what night of the week it is, and the time. I can control it weeknights; weekends...it is(was) pretty much until I stumbled to bed. That being said, I feel like I am much more in control on NAL. Things are better - still going to ask for BAC next.
