Sorry, if I missed it in the FAQ, or if they are completely obvious.

AF = alcohol-free (often days)
U = units (of alcohol)
nal = naltrexome
TSM = the sinclair method
ADE = alcohol deprivation effect
BOC = black-out city ;) coined by one of our more clever members

thats all I can think of right now!

How much is a "unit" of alcohol? Please define for wine and for 40% ALC/VOL. Thanks in advance.

There are a number of threads on units. here's one:

Additional jargon:

c = cravings (usually 1-10 scale)
bac= baclofen

Black Out City - I love it! I haven't been around for a while, glad to see the board has not lost sense of humor!

Ah yes, the Black Out City - "If you don't know where you are, you're already here."

For some reason I thought we would have way more acronyms. Perhaps it would be worth gathering them together and adding them to an FAQ or a glossary. I'll look into it.
