Hello,
Here is a link to my introduction for those that haven't seen it.

I usually go 5-7 days between binges, but 2 weeks is not uncommon. Usually this means a bigger night, and worse hangover though. I am not sure if counting units is going to benefit me. Results to me are seeing, a marked decrease in blackouts, less $400.00 nights out, not sleeping in from Sunday morning 4am to Monday 7am, and most of all loosing that dire urge to have more late in the evening after I've already had 15.
1st night, Friday Sept. 10th. I took a whole tab as I rarely have side effects from anything. None noted. An hour later, I drank 2 beers and went to bed as i was tired. Not uncommon, so nothing different to note.
Next day went to Hooters and had a dozen wings and started drinking around noon. Beer possibly tasted "less crisp"? Maybe i was just over analyzing though. Drank steadily through the day until about midnight. As normal, i did not eat again all day. Definitely drank slower than normal, but at a steady pace. Declined all shots and liqour, and did not black out. If I had to guess, I'd say I had 25-35 beers between noon and midnight. All and all a very good outcome considering I had not drank in 2 weeks. Felt like crap the next day, but not destroyed as normal.
As usual no desire to drink early in the week. Probably get a chance to have a few Friday or Sat. night, so we'll see what happens. It will not be an all day affair like this past weekend, so I may be able to analyze it a bit more.
To be honest, I don't really care whether I have early success, (even though i think I did) i am in this for the long haul, and the cure.
