I see a race to the TSM finish line: "And it's neck and neck, Q on the outside and Benzo Bob (clutching pill box in left hand) on the inside, coming down the home stretch..."

:)

Congratulations!

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm not ready to call it yet, but getting close. TSM is such a roller coaster. I'll be looking for consistency in the weeks to come.

I was just reading your posts from Week 16, which is my week I am ending. See that you had a rough one too. This has been my worse so far since TSM, so it's encouraging to read that you popped back out of it.


Until you drop below the 30units/week level, it is really easy to have a bad week (which for me was drinking in the high 30s or 40s.) That 30unit/week line seems to be a real threshold. Once you get below this line consistently for a couple weeks, I believe the game is basically over.

My guess is that this time next month, things are going to look much different for you.

I still want to see this 8-10 unit nights go away for me.

I think you're on to something. Although my unit consumption occasionally equaled or fell below 30, after the "switch flipped", I was down to 13 units and the rebound was still only 25, and this week will be in the single digits. In retrospect, when my weekly unit consumption was above nominally 30, I had a problem.

I cannot recall, but I don't think SpringerRider kept detailed week by week numbers did he? I'll have to check. I wonder what his number were when the cure came. Also, I'll have to check potato's posts.
