I actually started crying when I read more of this post - I DO know that it will work - but there are the few of us for whom it is really taking it's time - right ? I keep the faith - and know it will eventually work - but it is scary that it isn't yet! ONE day it will - I know it will!!!

Nigelr,

I do know it's not easy, and you are struggling right now. It will work. And one day you will wake up and realize that things have changed. I believe in this process and I believe you. We have the time to change, but it does take time.

It's hard to keep faith when it takes this long. As I said I am in the same boat. I certainly had expected more. But I will not give up. For one thing I really have no alternatives. Hang in there Nigel. Newlife.

I do check back and forwards on these forums, post less than I used to, but was very touched by the above comments.. thanks...

well one week off a year on this stuff!!

I will do another week and then post a 'year on nal' thread.

well moving into the second year.

in last month have been having regular 3 af days a week, finding these easy to do and may up them to 4... so only drink at weekends.

Of course it looks like I am adjusting by drinking more when I do, and I will move on the combat that next.

I have taken on board that I need to take more responsibility for my drinking and that whilst it would have been lovely the Nal, is a tool and not a solution.. it does take effort.

I am finding one new thing... I am going off strong wine, I loved big powerful shiraz, at about 14.5% but over last month have just tasted too much.

wow what a slow progress but its still progress!
