You guys are awesome! Love this feedback. Made me feel better about my NAL wait. Thank you for making me realize the timeframe you've all experienced. I got mine from indianpharmaonline.com after nearly getting scammed by another place. Barry, it's called being a vodka snob. :lol: I'm the same with all my booze, mid or top shelf only. It gets expensive, believe that. Ketel is $33 for a 1.75 liter, Smirnoff is $19. Last night I did 14 units US, which is really bad for me on a weeknight. She came over and made dinner then left with my daughter and I couldn't get to sleep til almost 1am. Great excuse to hammer it, I know. Woke up functional and without a hangover if you can believe that. Tonight was my first night with my daughter without her. Only 3 units thus far which, as you can relate, is basically sober for us. May do one more if I can't sleep. I'm in Cali so can't stop by to pick up a few Christopher. Appreciate the offer though. I am VERY motivated to take this stuff and make it work. Liver hurts, kidneys hurt, etc. So dang tired of this. Will definitely order from alldaychemists.com at week 6 if I am seeing even a modicum of progress. Will definitely throw in as many AF days I can handle, when I feel like I can, per Barry's advice. Thanks again fellas. Appreciate you all. Never posted on a site before in my life before this.

Sounds like you are very motivated, keep posting it' surprising how it can keep you going when things aren't going so well(and I can almost guarantee there'll be some sticking points).

USPS site says NAL was "Processed Through Sort Facility" May 4th and has said "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" ever since. I ordered April 30th. Any idea what that means or where I'm at on time frame for delivery?

Hi S&C. My order was also held up and plagued with inaccurate tracking information in the final stages.

I was even told that my order was undeliverable and must have been returned to sender (!!!) at one point. Fortunately this was BS. Turned out my order was being opened and inspected at customs. I eventually intercepted my Nal at the local depot, though I had to pay a sizeable customs and handling fee.

We're not from the same country, but something similiar could be happening with you. I got my order 2 days ago, and ordered a few days before you did. Fingers crossed it arrives for you shortly.

I made my 3rd order May 2nd. Cut and paste from USPS tracking below.

Express Mail International®

Origin Post is Preparing Shipment
PO to Addressee
Proof of Delivery

Processed Through Sort Facility
May 13, 2013, 1:59 pm
DELHI FOREIGN (PARCELS), INDIA

Processed Through Sort Facility
May 13, 2013, 1:55 pm
DELHI FOREIGN (PARCELS), INDIA

Doesn't really say much, other than it does not appear to be in customs yet.

Don't know if this is appropriate or not to post but here goes. Very pleased that my NAL just hit Los Angeles and is "Inbound Into Customs" as of 5/16/13.. After much Googling, I know this may be a couple of days to a couple of weeks but I am optimistic that it will be here next week. My woman is here tonight, passed out from 3 glasses of wine and her Mom is coming over tomorrow. Me and her whole family hit the bottles hard every time we are together so I plan on going all out this weekend. I'm 11 units US deep as I write this for the night. I'm still cleaning/preparing for her family's arrival and, disgustingly, nearly sober. This is what my weekends consist of, finding reasons to drink relentlessly, rarely getting TRULY drunk, but acquiring a massive hangover the next day. I hope my shipment clears US Customs quickly. If the NAL cures me it will cure anyone.

Hello S&C

Just wanted to add a welcome ... really hope your Nal arrives very soon ... like you I was lurking a bit and posting before my Nal arrived ..(I order from goldpharma.com ... and usually 7 - 8 days total from order to delivery to UK) I'm 3 months in now have been pleasantly surprised and cut my UK units by half almost immediately. I had a wee spike this month. .. but been back reading and posting and its really helping.

You sound really motivated ... just follow the rule (one hour before) keep reading and keep posting.

One of the most helpful things Barryb told me early on was not to rush those first few drinks after your Nal. This does work but it does require some degree of willpower. However the strange thing is .. one does appear to just lose interest after the first one or two drinks. Nal one hour before plus little bit of distraction .. take your time and stick with it

Very best of luck to you Lorraine

The NAL finally cleared US Customs yesterday and should be delivered tomorrow. 11 days in Customs and a total of 28 days waiting was a total bummer, but now I'm reinvigorated and ready to start this journey. I'll start a daily progress journal as soon as I start. A couple of things I've learned from checking out all your posts...try to throw in as many AF days as possible once I feel I can, don't slam my first few drinks of the session (this will be hard for me as I usually do 3-6 within 5 minutes, but I'm committed) and never ever drink without my NAL. Please correct me if I'm wrong or add additional things that will help my progress. Funny thing is, because I'm an open book and work with 25 or so alcoholics, I've got a good dozen people lined up to try this if it works for me. Appreciate you guys and this forum.

28 days? Just like the movie, huh? That's way too long. I hope it's not anti-climactic after all this time. I tried to message you so that I could mail you some of my stash weeks ago, but I guess you never got that.
