Retread I do not think it does any permanent harm, but I do not think you do yourself any favours either. I liken it to two steps forward, one back - but no, I do not think it has done irreparable damage! Hang in there - you will get there eventually. I think what concerns me is that you have quit the nal twice before - and this time are drinking again without it. I know that we are all different, but I made sure that I always took my nal - I really really wanted this to work for me. I had no alternative - do you? (said in THE nicest way possible..... HUGS)

HUGS to you, Maggie x

I Agree with Maggie on that Retread. Glad to hear you're going to be packing the Nal with you. One guy mentioned sticking a few pills in his wallet (probably in some plastic wrap or something).

Hi Maggie and Joe, I won't bore you guys with all the gory details however when I quit twice before I was in an ugly divorce (still ugly 6 years later), and then my business failed. I quit TSM because I just didn't care. Now I do, and it is working in the sense that I have 2 to 4 AF days every week. I might invite myself over to my girlfriend's and do some grilling. I think I'll take a NAL and see if I can have a few beers while grilling. I just won't allow my self to get wasted, because I'd like to enjoy the evening with her if you know what I mean. Best, Retread
