No white knuckling Joe I honestly want to be sober that book had a huge impact on me and gave me a different perspective, check it out if you get the chance. I was drinking a half gallon about every three days,so quit a bit

Good deal, Smootie! I'll check out the book, for sure!

For a small update folks. I've been sober for 12 days today. I haven't been this happy in a long time.Like I said I owe it a lot to that book "This Naked Mind" it really changed my perception on alcohol, but if it wasn't for the Nal to begin with I doubt I would've been able to slow down enough drinking to make sense out of it.

That's a huge change, Smootie! Congratulations on 12 days AF!

I'll bet that's bringing some substantial health benefits too!

For a small update I have been sober since May 31st. This Tuesday will make one month since I've touched alcohol and I haven't wanted to but a few times than I just think about something else. This is the longest I've been sober in over 4 years!! My plan wasn't to quit drinking but to slow down but I've been so long without it and every since reading the book "This Naked Mind" I don't want to go back to drinking. I've done enough damage to myself with that poison. I don't mean to bash alcohol but alcohol is bad for me. I was downing half of a half gallon with Nal so that is not good. Yes Joe I am seeing improvements in my health but I gotta start eating healther to really get the full benefits. My mood has changed, I am thinking better, I am not depressed all the time and I am saving a **** load of money. I have to admit though without Nal slowing me down enough to take a night off, I doubt I would've stood a chance of getting on the wagon. I urge anyone that is wanting to quit to check out the book below in my signature. It made a huge impact on my life and hopefully it would make a big impact on yours. I will continue to update ever now and than and if I relapse I will def post about it so stay tuned and thanks everyone!!!!

Thought we lost this forum for a few days.......Update I've been sober as of today 48 days, since I've quit I havent' wanted to chance it and go back to the hell I was living in but if I do I will take my little pill...

Smootie,

That is great news! And you are right that pill will always be there for you if you ever get that urge.

Excellent, Smootie! Congratulations on a huge turnaround!

I'd expect that you're seeing some great health benefits overall. Glad you've got the Nal in reserve and you know how to use it!

congrats Smoothie! the more you are AF, the less appeal it will have for you. keep it up!
