Thanks God the Nal got here after a mix up on shipping. I managed to stay dry till this past weekend I went on Fly fishing trip with a few friends. The nal came when I was gone but from now on if I plan to drink 110% it is with Nal. Nothing really bad happened over the weekend and didn't get wasted wasted, but I was drunk and not happy with myself. I found I was drinking out of habit and not really enjoying the beers while floating. It made me kinda sick to think man all this beautiful scenery good company and I am drunk. Such a waste.

I had a very old friend of mine come fish with us. He moved to Montana 10 years ago me Northern Colorado. We knew each other since high school and business back east. He was a drunk like me back then. I hadn't seen him since he moved and was shocked when he said he hadn't had a drink in 7 years. Was cool to hang out and fish with him and hear about how he quit etc. He used and addiction counselor and exercise and no AA. I told him about nal he was like hey man if you want to quit who cares how you do it. Was pretty inspiring hanging out with him. I did feel like an asshole and a half pounding beers and vodka at night jaw boning him on quitting.

I am now thinking my end game is to get back to being abstinent. Nal got me there before pretty quick and it sure felt way better physically and mentally. Probably more so mentally when I stopped worrying when the next opportunity is to get drunk and how am I going to hang with friends and not get wasted. It took a minute to get there but I did feel "free" when it happened and just didn't give a **** about drinking. So for now the goal is not to drink at all and if it bothers me that much take the nal and destroy the buzz. Will keep you posted.

Glad to hear your supply came in Crown! I think you've got a good plan there, I don't see how it could fail.

Just remember that the Nal only covers you for 12 hours (at least the part of it we care about), so if you get up in them morning and crave one, follow the Golden Rule and go for it.

Keep checking in, we love to hear from you!

This sounds like personal growth which is awesome! I think the nal did reprogram your brain for you to be able to appreciate what a waste alcohol was while you were drunk, for if you were anything like me, I would have been clueless before and wondering were that next drink was. It is sad that alcohol has that grip on us, and it will follow us just like our shadow, but nal does give us hope.

I wish you a speed response, and I hope you keep us posted,

Jaba

Hey Folks,

I have taken Nal every time I have drank since the order came in. Bang, same effect, squashed the buzz and desire to drink again HARD. Not exactly abstinent but pretty damn close. Some situations, mostly fishing trips, the desire is strong. Not to be drunk and wasted just to have a few, but I know where that leads without Nal. I pop the Nal and can barley get down 3 beers in 2 hours. At home and after work I am 100% booze free and really don't miss it. There is some craving sometimes but it is rare and I usually just ignore it and it goes away soon enough. I figure if the fishing beer thing never goes away oh well, pop Nal and all is good.

It's nice again not to be crazy drunk and the BS that comes with being drunk.

Good show, Crown!

Yeah, the fishing trips seem to be trying for folks, good job on keeping that within enjoyable and sane limits. Sounds like Nal is a great tool for you!
