Glad to hear from you Plantpro and your continued success!
Thanks for all your support too....
Nal On!!!!

I really enjoy hearing about the changes and benefits to your life, sounds like you are living it.

Plantpro, thanks for your posting and I am SO EXCITED to hear that everything is going so well for you. Yes, learning to love ourselves is very very important. Learning to love ourselves enough to want to take care of ourselves and not waste our entire lives on alcohol. I love the description of your improved homes, life, etc. with more time and energy to spend on them that you used to waste on drinking. Also thank you for encouraging those of us who feel this is taking longer than we had hope and so therefore we get discouraged at times. Your postings help us a lot. Nal on!! xoxo Newlife

Week 64-20 beers, 3 af. Went out 4 nights with a 6, 3, 5 and 6. Had a little problem with my gf so I fell back on old habits and drank with some friends. The nal continues to do its thing in that I never get to experience my old love affair. My reasoning mind continues to get stronger and I am naturally drawn to make different choices. Why did it take me so long to figure out? Could it be because habits start out like cobwebs but easily turn into iron chains? TSM silenced the physical addiction quickly. Changing a 40 year habit is quite another thing. I feel so much better when I'm not drinking. It is becoming apparent that ingesting alcohol is somewhat counter-productive to everything I want. In signing out, it has been a great ride with TSM. I followed the GR and drank like normal. 64 weeks flew by and I am slowly changing in the original direction I wanted. Good luck to everyone, stick with it guys, not everyone is a fast responder.

Thanks for the update, plantpro. Nal on!! Newlife

Very well said. Amen to this.

Week 65, 17 units, 2 af. Went out 5 nights and had 2, 4, 2, 6 and 3 beer nights. Only got out one night to the live music, dancing and that was the 6 beer night. My life has changed in that several nights I have and prefer the company of my gf and I am in a dating situation. TSM did what it was suppose to do. It weakened my physical addiction to a point where my common sense had the possibility of regaining control. I still have the habit of drinking but I am somewhat the one in control, not like before. I am a work in progress and believe the best is yet to come. 65 weeks may sound like a long time but it has gone by fast. After drinking for 40 years and being hard headed this path has suited me well. In signing out I want to wish you all the best. A few words of advice, do not create any bad habits that do not already exist. Follow the GR and be mindful of your relationship to your addiction, your urges. Watch and prepare for their weakening. Prepare to incorporate new positive habits to replace the time your addiction previously held. Life is about choices, it is nice to have them back.
