First AF days this week! Only got my baclofen order on Friday, I suspect my weekly total would have been much lower otherwise.

I think i can now totally understand the craving vs. habit thing. I'm a nightly drinker, and as such, in the morning if I think about having a drink I often times dismiss it immediately because it sounds gross. At night though, the thought of drinking pops into my head and the craving becomes unmanageable.

Now when I think about having a drink at night out of habit (which does happen) it is as appealing to me as it is in the morning, it just sounds gross. The habit and impulse is there but the craving and obsession are non-existent.

Day 3 AF!

Don't care whether or not I drink today. I'll probably have 1 or 2.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

What is the difference with your inclusion of Baclofen?
Are you charting that?
I am really interested in the progress of your use of bac and nal.
Merci!

You know what happens when those AF days start happening! They become a habit. And once they're a habit, it's easy to build up AF days and eventually AF weeks without any effort. And I mean no effort whatsoever. Days go by now and I have to think when the last time I had a drink now.

I do remember the days not too many months ago, when two consecutive AF days was a major accomplishment. I never dreamed it would eventually become like it is for me today. I hope this happens to everyone. I think you are on your way and in the home stretch.

Wow. I had one beer during the day and one half of a glass of wine with Thanksgiving dinner, and that was it. :shock:

I am keeping track of it. I'll try to put it into some kind of a cohesive graphical form when I have some more data.

The difference is dramatic. It's hard for me to differentiate exactly what is going on but I believe TSM and the baclofen are working synergistically. There's no way I can substantiate this, but I may be able to in the future.

I'm hoping bob is right in that the AF days play a major role in replacing alcohol with other things. We'll see.
