Plantpro - your progress is really inspiring - I just started TSM yesterday and am so hopeful it will help me too - keep posting and sharing your experience - I started a thread too so i can see my progress - thank for sharing and keep it up ready

Week 46, 22 units, 3 af. Went out 5 nights, only drank 4 with 5, 6, 6, and 5 beer nights. The pattern repeats itself because I prefer to be around people for socializing and dancing. It's been good, I've been meeting some pretty hot females while out and practicing my dance moves. I'm setting up dates and will have to sift through their different personalities for one I think will be good in my life. I will be forced to make a descision soon as to which one I put my main interest on. It wouldn't be a heavy drinker, but 1 who compliments my new love for a sober life. 4 nights out a week in a party situation and staying out to 1 or 2 is just a little too much. The nal-overs aren't nearly as enjoyable as the days where I experience the feelings from being af. TSM has saved me, no doubt. But I need to deal with a shyness that has plagued me for as long as I can remember. I think I'm ready to deal with this, albeit a little late. In signing out for the week, I want to welcome all the newbies to TSM. Congrats on doing your research and finding this method. It's got to be one of the best hidden things if you want to put alcohol in a different perspective. Congrats to you guys that have been at it for a little while and are showing progress. TSM will take an unmanageable situation and make it manageable. It will give you an opportunity to take back your life, just give it time. Be warned thou, you will have the responsibility of managing it. So start preparing and visualizing how your new life will be now. Here's to all of you, follow the GR and create the best life you can. Peace. Start TSM 4/10/14, pre TSM probably between 60 and 70, going as high as 85 units per week for months straight .......................................... Wks:

Wow, sounds like you are very popular with the ladies and with TSM you can and will start a new relationship with someone special.
I know you are a lot younger than I am but with Nal+Drinking I can't stay up past 9PM these days and you are staying out until 1-2PM, lol!
Anyway I know we talked about how we are the same with the shyness thing but I know I used alcohol to cover it up in the past but alcohol has back-fired on me and made me more self conciousness, anxious, nervous etc around people if I do not drink. I am sure we can become much more at ease and relaxed once alcohol is not in the picture so much over time. As you say "TSM will take an unmanageable situation and made it manageable, It will give you back your life".
I also hate the Nalovers but cannot seem to get past maybe 1 AF day every few weeks but I know I just have to let TSM work and I will get there eventually.
Thank for posting and giving us all such hope!
Nal On!

Week 47, 16 units, 4 af. Went out 4 nights but only drank 3 with 4, 5 and 7 beer nights. As far as my social life goes, nothing has changed and I'm happy with that. I prefer not to drink but find myself doing so in social situations. A long time habit that I believe is diminishing with the continued following of the GR. The nal continues to suppress the things that used to excite me. I'm a completely different person and happy with the stripped down version of myself. I was so complicated before, chasing one addiction or another in a self deluded effort to just feel good. My previous behavior never allowed me to have a deep rest that I'm able to experience now. I used to be compulsively busy re-acting to all my previous addictions. I never was able to put my behavior in something that actually benefited me. With the pro-longed side effects of the nal, it's nice and calm being on the other side. I'm able to put things in a better context and see better choices I can make for myself. That's why I relate the effects of the nal as having a spiritual side that are beneficial. I'm able to truly see that I'm the only one making the choices and nothing changes until I do. In signing out for the week, I've come along ways and you will too. I'm happy that so many of you have found this path. Your unmanageable situations will become manageable. The death lock alcohol has on you will disappear. You will regain control. Please keep posting so we leave a clear trail for later participants to read. That they may be able to learn there is a way out. Peace.

Wow PlantPro that is amazing progress and really inspiring. I cannot wait to get to the new perspectives you are talking about. I have wasted to many days and months and years. Nal on!! Once I figure out how to do the signature I will start tracking and posting my stats. Only two days in but I have high hopes........New life

great stuff plantpro - really glad things are working out for you

go to "User Control Panel" in the top right, then "Profile" on the left, then "Edit signature"

Thank you Badger, I just tried it!! Sorry to hijack your thread for my technical questions Plantpro. Nal on!!

I dream of the day I can report 16 units! That is amazing! Like you I find it hard not to drink in social get togethers where everyone else is drinking and a hurdle I'd like to accomplish. Keep up the good work!

Your progress is so so inspiring - I truly hope to be where you are someday and can't ever imagine that that might be possible - That would be a dream - I am just on week 2 but I will keep reading and posting - I am so grateful for this forum and what it has done for me - and I hope to give back here - Ready
