Here's my update. Don't know what to say other than the Nal doesn't seem to be giving me any side affects anymore, that's good. I'm still feeling clear headed when I drink but I feel strange the rest of the time when I am not drinking. Does anyone feel that as well? I just can't put my finger on it. My SO seems to be changing as well although he doesn't express himself much about what the Nal is doing for him but I'm encouraged I can see the change!! Now I'm waiting to see my first AF day which I think could be soon.

Good Morning,

It's strange regarding the side effects. I started Nal last Nov, but took it as prescribed for craving reduction in abstinence. I was abstinent until June. Continued with Nal daily even drinking pretty much through Sept 16 when I started the Nal the TSM way. Then as my drinking, counting, etc. and awareness of the TSM Cure came to my awareness I started feeling different. As I wrote last night in my Weekly, I feel ill alot now. I've been awake now for a half hour. I had 3 shots (4.07 standard drinks or 180ml) of bourbon more than 12 hours ago. I feel not typically hung over, just somewhat hungover. like if this were cranked up about 10 times I'd be in the bathroom puking and laid out for the rest of the day. It's like a body ache and a slight anxiety. Low level anxiety - vague sense of impending doom. I am not sure how else to describe it. I do know that when I feel like this I think, why even bother drinking. It's like eating something that makes me sick and continuing to eat less and less to find a point where it doesn't upset me. Regardless, I will drink my coffee, read, go for a 4 or 6 mile run, eat a great breakfast, do whatever I've planned or whatever comes to me in my life and then tonight I will stop and wonder, am I craving a drink or will I take a Nal in case I feel like taking one. Or should I go AF.

Have a great day,
