tuesday - no nal - no alcohol

wednesday - no nal - no alcohol
thursday - 50mg nal - 3 units

Craving - great results regardless of the situation...I noticed your cravings measure stayed down even though you were around someone you were trying not to drink around. That, I would think, is actually just as significant. Usually (well...I can now say 'used to be' I guess) when I'm in a situation where I can't drink like I want, my skin is crawling!

Thanks for posting your progress - very encouraging. Keep it up!

happy4once - I did not consider this! That is actually very positive. Thank you!

yesterday 50 mg Nal - no alcohol - thought I'd drink, but didn't do it in the end.

Cravings - just be careful with taking Nal and not drinking. I asked Dr Eskapa about this and here is part of his answer:

I know it's actually hard sometimes because if you don't want to drink you want to take advantage of that... but if I take the pill, I make sure I at least have a glass of wine...

Best of luck to you!

happy4once,

Thanks for the additional information on this. I will take more care in the future.

interesting ... I was all Saturdays AF

Does Sinclair consider 9 drinks / week to be safe / not health destroying ?

things I noticed on Nal :

- Can not drink as fast as I used to
- Slower drinking might as well slow down the units drunken
- getting the buzz but still feeling more awake-sober


because I want to count my units and my glass only has up to 4 cl : I only take 1 unit out of the bottle at one time.
So for each unit I have to get up and get the glass refilled.

I think all this factors have a very important function in this extinguish process

WaitingToExhale,

I am not too sure about my progress after drinking 5 units today.

I had in between always AF days - also pre-SM. It seems easier for me to have AF days on Nal though.

monday AF
