Does anyone know if Nal is as effective if you only drink (binge) Friday and Sat night? I am on my second week. Didn't notice anything different and am wondering if a person only drinks Fri and Sat, are you in effect starting from scratch the next time you take Nal the following Friday? Thanks in anticipation!

Hi Brummy! Not sure how it will effect you but, I tend to binge drink also. Since starting tsm, I've gone down considerably. I believe it is working for me pretty well. Lots of things have changed. Like the taste, not always thinking about it, being able to pass the booze aisle with no problem, no raving desire for it. I do not take Nal when i know I'm not going to drink. However, I only take it if I'm going to drink or even if I'm not sure. Better to be safe than sorry. Before tsm I could consume a good amount of alcohol when on a binge nite. Last time i got "popped" was probably about a month ago when my Brother-in-law was here from Ca. It did not lead to a binge as before it could have. I guess to answer your question from my perspective, is yes, I am way better. I do not believe that it effected me by only taking it on a day when I think or know I will be imbibing. Hope this can give you some encouragement, just knowing that it is helping me a great deal & I also am a binger. It works honey!! Stick with it. Keep a positive outlook. Be strong. You are in the control seat. You govern how YOU want it to be & it will come!!

My Best To You,
JANE

My understanding from the book (and reading the posts on this site) is that TSM can be equally effective for both daily and occasional drinkers. Both extremes have had great success with TSM, and both groups have had not so great success with it. As you can see from my post signature I was a DAILY binge drinker so my units drastically diminished right away after starting TSM even though I still drink relatively a lot each week for a female.
I hope you experience great success--and remember regardless of your style of drinking, this takes time and can be a bumpy process
