You're older and wiser this time round and you have more tools in your toolbox. You've learnt lessons from your past experience with TSM which will help you with it this time. It worked before and based on yesterday it seems as though it will work again. I think you're right about needing some extra willpower along the way, especially once the Nal has done it's job and extinction has occurred. I too was waiting for total indifference to magically happen, but it didn't and I had to work on changing things up a bit...there can be a lot of ingrained habits and associations with drinking that need work to change.
Wishing you all the best.
Your right about all the above Ruthy. I've read every success story on here and on the other board and only a small percentage just become totally indifferent. Most have to come to the decision to be abstinent. TSM for kills the fun and makes it just not as enjoyable. So you get to the point (or should do) when you say to yourself.. Whats the point.
Looking back I think I became indifferent after 3 or 4 weeks. Once I popped a pill, most of the time I wish I hadn't and just had 2-3 beer to keep the process working. I also though that with every session I was working the program. This is sort of true but looking back.. You should never change you drinking habits just to try and speed things up.
This time round I'm basically gonna try and abstain from booze as much as possible ans use the Nal for when I break.
Its just not fun anymore. I heard a saying once before that sums it all up....
