I'm not a craver although I enjoy wine.

I have no trouble with many days off in a row and some weeks, due to social events, drink every day.

I do not get drunk every time I drink.

HOWEVER: sometimes when I drink I drink WAY to much... I get drunk.

Last night was one such time and I am beating myself up soooo much! :x Trying not too. Know its a process. Trusting - mostly. Afraid it won't work - sometimes. Should I up the dose? :? Will I EVER be able to have a glass or 2 of wine and trust I can stop after 2 or 3??

I'm 2 months in on Oct 7th. I do get the headaches. I notice I generally drink slower than I used to. I notice it's best for me to take a day or two off between days I drink which luckily isn't hard for me.

Thanks for any help you can offer. ;)

I had a rough day yesterday too. The hangovers are hard and depressing. Especially when I behave in ways I'm not proud of. I'm trying to remember that as long as I take Nal before I drink, I'm treating the problem. I'm almost 6 weeks in. Hang in there. It takes time to work.

Hugs, BTDT

inspired: I was sort of like you.

Pre-nal, I didn't drink every day. I could drink 1 or 2 and stop with no problems. But 3-4 and I would have an extremely difficult time stopping for the night-- it was like stepping onto a roller coaster.

The good news is that TSM worked amazingly for me-- I no longer feel that roller coaster feeling at all. I can stop after any number of drinks. Hopefully it will work for you, too.

Try experimenting with .25mg if the side effects haven't gone away.
