Hey MLB,

I just read your thread from start to finish again. You are an amazing inspiration. I think I speak for many people on this site and probably many more lurkers, to say thanks.

As someone who has had many ups and downs in my 21 weeks on TSM, I am very grateful to see your story posted in such honest detail. I feel like I am in a position now to set a weekly goal and go for it. I plan to taper off like you did.

Thank you so much, Mike. I hope you will encourage your concerned kids and wife to do TSM.

All the best.

I've made it 4 weeks now alcohol-free. I'm going to declare myself cured and put a post over in the cured forum.

Congrats MLB!!!!!!! so glad it worked. I just randomly checked in for the hell of it and yours was the only thread I recognized so I clicked and got the good news!!!!!

And another beast bites the dust!!

Great news!!!

I thought you'd get there. No more white knuckles. Breeeeeeeathe....

Congratulations and kudos to you MLB. Great effort!

Thanks all!

I think the nal worked for me, in that it eliminated or significantly reduced the physical addiction to alcohol. However, I could have indefinitely continued taking nal and drinking. I had to just go ahead and run out of nal and decide I was quitting.
