They say people can't "change". TSM is an exception, because change really and truly does occur. Be optimistic, and believe!

I second that Guapo, I am totally optimistic and keeping positive that I will be cured along with Plantpr0 and the rest of you guys on this Board, Yay!
Nal On as they say!!!

Thanks Plantpr0, you are an inspiration (you too Melissa).

And no, I don't think things could be much better than what you're describing.

Week 34-12 units, 5 af. Went out twice and had 7 and 5 beer nights. I was having fun and stayed a little too late on the night I consumed 7. Happened to meet a few beautiful woman and got carried away. I usually go out 3 nights, but I found myself dressed up and for no reason at all, started debating wether I wanted to go out or not. After putting my shirt on and off a few times, I decided to take it off for the last time and just stay home and relax. I ended up having 5 af days, a first for me since starting TSM. I just didn't want to drink, By some TSM magic, alcohol and drinking has lost it's allure. I'm lucky that a lot of positive activities have sprung up in it's place and I don't even miss it, but prefer af. I've been given my life back and my self worth is coming back strong. In retrospect, alcohol was never my friend and 1 of the greatest self sabotaging things I've ever done. Thankfully, I know better now and will never be without my nal if I choose to drink. In ending my 34 week, my viewpoint of alcohol continues to change and I'm a much better person as a result of following TSM protocol. I'm more active in my personal responsibilities and as a result my life is significantly better. I am so happy for all of you that are well on your way and have made the commitment to free your selves of this terrible disease. Stay the course and have faith in the science, your life will be so much better. Pretty soon you will all be cured and will know what I mean and experience. It's beautiful over here. Remember to pass it on. Peace. Start TSM 4/10/14, pre TSM probably between 60 and 70, going as high as 85 units per week for months straight .................................... Wks:

Week 35, 19 units, 4 af. I over did it this week by enjoying 3 nights out while consuming a 5, 7 and 7 beers per night. The (2)- 7 beer nights ended up having a negative effect on me. First night I got home late and slept for 10 hours. Second night I slept for 9 and upon waking I was sort of out of it, real slow with no desire to do anything. I hadn't planned on drinking that much, there was no wild compulsive behavior or anything that resembled how I use to drink. It was more of not having a plan and just doing what came natural. Had a waitress offer to buy me a beer and then friends offering and I just said yes both nights. It's evident to me that I much prefer the calmness and clear headedness I get from the af days. I'm going to try and implement a strict 5 beer limit when I go out just because I favor the new way I feel. It should be easy to implement. TSM has removed the compulsive behavior and my new self worth really wants all the things alcohol gets in the way of. I got a phone number this week and had several woman get real friendly with me. That would of never happened pre TSM. I just didn't want it back then and I pushed it away as I preferred my selfish desire to drink. The af days are wonderful and looked forward to. I will never go back to drinking at home, especially alone like I use too. Personal responsibilities continue to get done. I can't believe how much I've accomplished since starting TSM. I'm a totally different person and I like it and who I'm becoming. In signing out for this week and looking back. I'm going to try and cut back a little while I'm out and socializing. I will be able to present myself a little better and I'll get home a little earlier to prepare for the following day. A big shout out to all you guys who are doing really great and are compliant to TSM protocol. Keep the faith and behold the science. You guys know that no conscience effort is necessary...right? Especially in the beginning? Right? But I did the same thing and it's ok. I guess it's just being human and doubting that it could actually be that easy that your cravings and behaviors associated with an alcoholic dependency can automatically vanish. Good odds they will thou. All you have to do is follow the Golden rule and give it time. Peace.
