Koni,

Hang in there. My unit consumption is currently much higher than yours, however, it is averaging around half of my Pre-TSM numbers 7 months ago when I started. I have hit a rough span, with many drinking events piled on top of each other, but I continue to feel the effects of less cravings when I am not involved in one of these events.

As I've stated on here before, I may never get down to norm in social drinking acceptance if I don't remove myself from my environment, however, I'm pleased to be at a much lower level of consumption, and know a much lower level is attainable.

Keep us posted and don't drink without the Nal.

Hi Koni,
It's always disappointing when the units go back up after starting out so well. I know that it's something that many people on here have experienced. I found that in the first few weeks, the craving seemed to miraculously disappear. Unfortunately, it then came back and I was very worried and questioning whether I was doing the right thing. I've kept going (sticking strictly to the one hour rule) and I'm pleased to say that this week my numbers are going back down again.
Of course, being in temptations way with all that free booze probably isn't helping. Trying to slow down and really question if you want more, may help.
I too started out on Revia and was very happy with it. However, Goldpharma are now out of stock of it and I've had to order from All Day Chemist. It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm expecting it to be the Naltima rather than the Nodict brand.There is a discussion about the Nodict brand (I think it was called "warning nodict brand of naltrexone") and some people were questioning whether it was as good. It may be worth reading that if you haven't already.
Good luck and hang in there.
Ruth.

Hi Ruth and Cristopher,

Thank you for your replies, they were the exact encouragement I needed:)

I stick to the rule, never have had a drink without the Nal, or earlier than the one hour period. I was just worried that things did not seem to go as I expected them to go, especially after the good start.

Will stick to it, and will order Naltima next time, we'll see how it goes with that.

Will update this as soon as I have something to report:)

Thank you again.
