Hang in there badger, we know there are going to be ups and downs. I am in the same place as you in that my supply is low, so I am rationing and that makes the AF days easier. I will be glad when I get to the place where I don't have to spend so much time thinking about this. XOXO Newlife

How are you doing Badger ? It seems a while since you posted ....

Hugs, Maggie

I'm doing okay thanks Maggie

had a slightly better week last week with a couple of AF's. still drinking more than I'd like when I do drink, but a heavy night now is what a light/regular night used to be

I'm finding drinking to be an increasingly frustrating experience - there's a definite lack of buzz & it's really ceasing to be worth the next day's hangover. hopefully, if I'm learning that consciously, then the rat is getting that lesson beaten into him too

I've been rather saddened this week by the sudden death of Charles Kennedy - the former leader of one of the main political parties in the UK - from an alcohol-related hemorrhage at the age of 55. I have no great love for politicians, but he was widely regarded as a decent person & his long struggle with AL was well known. it does rather bring it home that this disease catches up with the best of us, & the paucity of effective available treatments

Good to hear from you badger.

Being an American I am not familiar with Mr. Kennedy but still it is sad. Wish we could get the word out about TSM more widely!!

Glad that you are feeling better but I know what it is like to wish that you were farther along. We will get there. Hugs from newline

well, it was bound to happen I suppose, but I've run out of Nal

I have orders coming from River & 4NRX, but I'm not sure when they're going to arrive - could be tomorrow, could be in a week. interesting days ahead ...

Oh Badger - I am so sorry that you have run out - isn't there anyone there that can send you some ????? PM Tish - she might be able to help temporarily ....... (sorry Tish for volunteering you ), I would be more than happy to send some but no idea how long it would take to get to you - plus customs might stop it - but let me know - will do if you want me to!!

Hugs, Maggie x

thanks Maggie, but I think I'll be okay

in a funny sort of way I'm quite looking forward to the challenge. I know I don't have any Nal & can't/won't drink without it, so I've just stopped thinking about it - a bit like you do with your AB. well, that's how it's been so far, we'll see how long it lasts ...

Seriously Badger - if you want me to send some I can - it would cost to get it to you quickly but it is do-able !

Hugs, Maggie x

badger - please hang in there!! I am in the US too, and also in the same position in that my supply is low. Maybe in a funny way this will be a good thing? Challenge or something? Stay strong.

Hugs from Newlife

thanks for the offer Maggie, but I'll be okay. a few enforced AF days will do me good
