Actually I'm finding the first thing is my craving is down considerably. My habit is stable though, I just seem to pop that Nal around 4pm for that first 5pm drink. But I am having more & more thoughts throughout the day that I just don't need to have a drink tonight. But I still do. This past weekend a friend gave me a can of beer & since I hadn't taken a Nal yet I said I'd hold it for later. He didn't care. The biggest deal though is the next day feelings. Hangovers are different and really sick feeling. Like I had a some poison last night. I think I am really getting ready for extinction but only time will tell. My numbers look pretty progressive though don't they? Last year at this time I was 10 days away from going to my doctor for outpatient detox. I got valium, nal, campral. Well, I didn't carry on with the other two and if you read my other posts you'll not I took the Nal the way it is prescribed, daily in the morning to prevent craving. As I wrote, I made it till June. Then I started to drink again. Never to the level of 14oz of Jim Beam a day though. That was 16.95 standard drinks a day or per week 118.6440678. Wow, I never calculated that before! I was really bad! It's working. Between the Nal & my personal values I am on my way to what? We'll see...
