Alright, so month two is over tonight. I don't really feel like posting all the units week after week. But, I did write all of the units down on my phone, so I have been keeping up. I am happy to say that I started the month out at 45 units and ended at 24. I started throwing in an extra AF day as well. It was kind of hard to add that extra day at first, but now I'm used to it, and it doesn't really bother me. I'll throw in another either this week or the next maybe. I had a pretty hard week as well. Lost my hunting place, broke my treestand (dropped it off the truck while driving it back to my house), and had some other stuff go on as well. I drank 4 units the first night then 4 again. On friday and saturday I drank 8 each night. So, I still have a ways to go. But, I feel like I'm definitely on track. At least four months the book says, and I'm halfway through. I have dropped to about a third of my intial units. Again, I'm going to say if there is anybody that is perusing this website and they are thinking about trying it, do it! I thought nothing could control my drinking. I would drink 24 units on some nights, and add some liquor in there at the end because I ran out of beer. Now I'm drinking four and just stopping. Pretty cool stuff. I'm planning on adding some workout time in there somewhere. I feel really good, and I think that'll help even more. Though I did walk around in the woods the other day for about three hours. Anyways, yeh sinclair method is pretty amazing. I'll see you guys in another month.

Very, very cool! Sounds like you're a rapid responder...that's an amazing reduction, in a short time. Thanks for the report. :)

Howdy, it's another month (and some change) under my belt. One month ago, I added an AF day, and about two weeks ago I added another. I am now drinking 3 times a week. I'd rather it be once every other week, but we'll see. I'm still pretty young, 24, so I find myself hanging out with my buddies, and it's more of the lifestyle than if I were 35, but I digress. I have been hovering around 20 - 25 units for the past month, but in the last two I went from about 19 to 14 this past week. Pretty sure my signature is still down there so you guys can see that's a pretty big reduction in units. I've lost a couple of pounds, but I still haven't started working out. Finals ended this past week so I have been pulling all-nighters.

Umm, I'm not really sure what else to say. I haven't been writing down my units anymore, it's becoming less interesting to me. I wanna throw in another AF day soon... I'm going to try this week. I don't know if any of you noticed, but I am drinking at healthy levels weekly. I still may drink a little too much in one sitting... 6 as opposed to 5 or 4 depending on the source. This isn't too bad I don't think though ;).

I have gotten some sideways comments from some people. One friend stated that this drug is probably not good for my brain (he does shrooms and ecstasy fairly regular... talk about hypocrisy). And my cousin made an asshole comment about how many units he was drinking and wasn't proud of, then quickly followed up with, "Of course, I'm not taking a pill for it either." So choose wisely who you want to tell about these things. Most of all, don't let people dissuade you of making this kind of choice. Ask yourself, "Will it make me happier?" The answer you tell yourself is the answer whether or not you should continue using Nal or try it. "Haters gonna hate" they say hahaha.

I will say that I am much happier. I feel my motivation coming back, I feel my life coming back and I feel my self coming back. And I can drink if I want, I don't have to feel like the oddball who doesn't drink. In fact, I still drink more than some of my friends, but I know that I am gaining control. I'm still not quite there, but I see the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Good luck guys. And stick in there, it can be a roller-coaster ride... but the end-product will be well worth it.

Tyler

What a great report...I'm glad to hear it! And good for you, setting goals for more AFs. It sounds like you're just really losing your interest in drinking, and getting your life back in return :)
