Sorry all41, if I wasn't clear. I am looking to decrease the number of days I drink and take nal. I am in no position to go against the GR and risk re-addiction. I think taking nal 2 days a week is a small step in the right direction.

In that case TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!

Smart idea, and I'm sure she'll like it too!

Plantpro, I think that sounds fantastic. I am happy for you to have met someone, and especially someone who supports your goal of moderate drinking!! That is exactly what I think you wanted. Your goal sounds wonderful, too, and I hope it is as easy as you think it will be. I will be very glad when I get to the point you are at. Nal on!! xoxo newlife

Good for you! Like all41, I was thinking you were giving up the nal altogether!

Plantpro I just want you to know you have my support with this.

I often think of you and wonder!

Week 60, 20 units, 2 af. I went out 6 nights but only drank 5 with 5, 4, 4, 5 and 2 beer nights. I didn't make last weeks goal, I didn't even come close. I was too busy having fun, locked into my old pattern of behavior while enjoying myself without the negative side effects of drinking I used to experience. I had a gf tell me I was surrounded by a harem and she was right. Why did I wait so long to engage and pursue women? I know the answer and it was alcohol and it's negative effect upon me prior to TSM. I met someone I care for and it's added a lot of fun in my life. It has kind of made me whole and I like it. In looking back, I haven't blacked out, got drunk or done anything I wasn't sober enough to learn from in ages. I have been posting longer then most and it has left a nice journal for me to reflect upon. My path is a lot different then most in that I don't care to be abstinent. TSM saved me, it killed that uncontrollable drinking pattern that favored alcohol over relationships. It has allowed me to enjoy a party situation and not get carried away. At this moment, I am happy with my progress and what I am doing. Sure, it can always be better, but I will leave that for the future. It has been mentioned several times on this board concern over the negative side effects of the nal. I mentioned several months ago effects I consider to be positive from the nal. That the nal adds a state of mindfulness in lieu of the constant distractions of our feeling nature. My life is so much more together because of this mindfulness, it is crazy. Why did I wait so long? In signing out, a lot of good results are being posted. Wtg guys. To the others, keep at it, it will kick in and give you a different point of reference that you can make choices from. Nal- on. 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:

You are down at 1/4 of your original drinking levels, that ain't bad for less than a year of TSM.

Sounds like you are having fun!

Sounding really good Plantpro - you sound almost content !! Lovely to hear ......

Hugs, Maggie

So happy to hear from you again and that you are doing so well. Really nice that you have met someone and are having fun with less alcohol, way to go!
Nal On!
