Continuing to feel promise in the absence of prescription sleep meds. Went to VEGAS (!) this past week for a long weekend with friends. Mixed bag -- a couple of nights of clarity while drinking, a couple foggy. ALL, though, far better than they would've been a few months ago.

Funny, my units have gone up the last two weeks (until the last few days), but I actually am feeling better about my levels. I am three days into Week 17 and seeing my units drop per session (also last session last week) from 8+ to about 6. Also seeing more and more times I'm having 2 AF days at a time. Hoping this is a trend that will continue from here, will see (no expectations).

Regardless, I remain completely off of prescription meds and am taking only an occasional Unisom for sleep. Sleeping sometimes more than 8 hours a night NATURALLY, which is the first time this has happened in years. So happy about that!

A bit disheartened this week.... Any words of wisdom/encouragement from others who've been here (seeing a big dip at almost 4.5 months, then back up) would be appreciated! Still feeling positive overall, just remembering today that this will be a long and confusing trip. Continuing to see units down per session, still feeling more control and less compulsion overall, but definitely made the mistake of getting my hopes up after last week. :( My bad and on to next week.... Would it help if I knew how to do the bigger-picture graph? How plateauy is my plateau?

Looks like progress to me. I'm sorry I haven't been around to read your thread enough. It seems your weekly updates come right in the middle of my weekly break from the board ie: the weekend. I start a new TSM week every fri. so that's when i post my progress and I check out the board mon thru thurs mostly as I have a job where I can check the intrawebs a lot. I'll try and keep in touch with you better. looks like you're a little ahead of me and doing well, which is encouraging
