That's great mlb. You know something good is happening when you start thinking about things other than drinking... like living.

Thanks, Joe.

The first couple of weeks, I just let happen what might happen. Since then, though, I've set a goal for weekly units at the start of the week and figured out how many ounces of bourbon (the only thing I drink) that would be each day. I measure each pour in a measuring glass to a tenth of an ounce and write the time and amount down on a piece of paper I keep in my pocket. I've been able to come pretty close to my target (or slightly under) most days. The next day, I enter the stats in a spreadsheet and can see the progress towards my goal.

I'm trying to drink less each week. I don't know if I will succeed at that, but I think it would be nearly impossible for me to spike back up to where I was before TSM. I think I would pass out before getting there. Besides, I am feeling so good and getting my life back, that I'm not going back there. And with nal, I don't have to.

I lived in Michigan most of the 1980s. The Tigers are still my favorite team. I've lived in Colorado since then, and the Rockies are a close 2nd favorite. Out of those two, only the Rockies have a chance at the playoffs this year, but they'll need another Rocktober run like in 2007.

Whose your team, Joe?

I like the Braves but am way more a football fan. Titans. Chris Johnson is so exciting to watch

Great progress mlb. You've had a significant reduction in your numbers for sure. I think it's great you are applying some willpower as well. Keep us posted.

Another week of progress with TSM. :D My drinking is now down over 40% from where I started.

The only side effects I've experienced are slight drowsiness (which was useful at the start to drink less), and an increase in the number and vividness of dreams. None of the dreams have been unpleasant, so that's not a problem, really.

The thing that has surprised me recently is how much more I have been *doing* - whether things that needed done that I had been neglecting, or things I used to enjoy that I had just gotten away from. I am getting my life back, thanks to the nal.

I am so thankful for the grace that led me to learn about TSM and for a cooperative doctor. I think I have a follow-up appointment with him in a month or two. I'm looking forward to telling him about my progress.

This is great progress mlb. It's amazing how productivity goes up when AL goes down. Keep on trucking. Your report to you physician may lead him to trying this on others.
