Jaba, fingers crossed that you get the endorphins!

I forgot to take the pill before I left so I was alcohol free tonight with no problem whatsoever. Something is changing.

Deena,

I told you I could see change. Isn't it nice that you have noticed it as well. Like I said it the little things!

I wanted to report that Mr. ND joined you all for Why Not Wednesday yesterday!

He was drinking NA beer all day and playing video games, then by the time I'd made dinner at 10:00 p.m. he finally asked me if I'd grab him some regular beers, and I asked, "I can, but since it's already 10 p.m., why not make today AF? You haven't taken your naltrexone, so you can really take advantage of this nal/al-free time to flood your brain with endorphins from positive experiences." And then I explained all of that in simpler words. :lol:

And he went for it! I knew he could do it and I was so proud of him! Then this morning, he was the one who wrote "Woo-hoo" under yesterday, which I previously did whenever he'd have an alcohol-free day (due to having a spell and me putting him to bed before he could drink). This was his first AF day without nal though. His counselor was super proud of him, of course, as am I!

You better believe I made sure he got some positive endorphin-boosting activity to reinforce the heck out of that behavior! :lol:

Naltrexone + Drinking + Patience + Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 = our first by-choice nal/al-free day!

Kudos to all, especially Mr. ND. And to you, ND, he is lucky to have you (love that he wrote Woo Hoo!)

NoDoorMat,

I am happy for you and Mr.ND. We are all pulling for him, and for him to have an af day without a problem so early in the process is wonderful (I am really jealous for it took me a nal. over to have one in the beginning). WOO HOO indeed

!

Woo Hoo is right, ND! What a lucky guy to have you in his corner... we should all be so fortunate!

No AF days for me, just yet.... but if Mr. ND can do it, I most certainly will be able to get there, too! Thanks for the inspiration!
