Thanks for your story UKB. I think you are extremely courageous and you have been an inspiration to me and I suspect to most people here.

Clarion: I apologize again. Apparently I am misstating all I really feel about TSM. I am truly happy that NAL worked as magically and painlessly for you as it did for me. I am certainly as grateful to NAL and TSM as you are. I am just starting to realize that there ARE cases like yourself who were heavily addicted but had an easy time recovering with NAL. This was NOT obvious to me in my time spent lurking on the site and deciding whether to jump in. I am a huge fan of TSM and my point has always been TRY IT. And I feel I am especially advocating to the light drinker TRY IT. GET AHEAD of the PROBLEM. The only thing I changed in my personal TSM journey was the "drink as usual" part because I was able to cut down immediately. I would love to amend the "toxic" part of my thinking if you would please point it out.
Steve.
