by the way I did not remark on what an awesome pic As Reality Turns put in there, How georgous is that!!

Yes, Reality, that's awesome!

I haven't missed a single day with the nal. Take it at 4pm every day. Now just waiting for my life to change like potato's has!

You sounded pretty irritated with those of us who doubt and question along the way. I understand, but do you understand? Strictly from my own standpoint, it has been 6 months and I feel NO CHANGE whatsoever. I think I am entitled to a little doubt...I'M TRYING...and will take NAL 1 freaking hour before drinking for the rest of my life..JUST IN CASE... but I am beginning to question whether or not following "the rule" is going to be my magic ticket out of this hell of being addicted to alcohol.

I'm really trying NOT to voice my doubt and frustration, but every now and then, these things MUST come to the surface. Don't be impatient. We are entitled to vent too. I am still hopeful, still hanging in, and like I say, will take the drug forever just in case...

But would like to be like many here who post reduced or none at all, cravings...just like you do. It is hard to follow the Dali Lama/Krishna/Moses devotion to this method w/ no real changes or results after all this time.
Still - I will follow Moses but reserve the right to question & voice frustration.

Got to -

I agree with you it is important to have space to express doubts and frustration with TSM. I think it is important that the board reflects all experiences and is not just for cheerleading. I admire the way you have stuck with this despite feeling no changes in pattern and craving. I'm not sure i would have the stamina. I have been lucky and have experienced changes, enough to make me feel that Nal is having an effect. Hang in there Houtx
