Let's keep our chins up no matter how long it takes or what the situation may look like right now. ;)

Pretty dramatic illustration!!! This mirrors my experience exactly.

Those who are struggling or doubting should ignore the number of weeks at the bottom, but focus on the overall trend. It will come.

Thanks Lo0p for the contrasting graphs...that's one of the reasons that I post my raw data.

I was in a great phase of doubt at week 15. That spike made me feel like TSM was not only not working, but making it worse. Little did I know that over the next month, I was to become cured, that is, in full control of my drinking. Even as I post now... I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS TREATMENT ACTUALLY WORKED!!! It has changed my life. And I had tried everything. Those of you who have read all my posts know that I had tried and failed 29 times on other methods. This was just another method that made sense to try, and it really worked. I shall be forever indebted to Drs. Sinclair and Eskapa for leading me here.

Bob

H4O Week 18:

I cheated a little bit on this one because Happy's week 18 was the 4th of July, and I think we can safely that week is a statistical outlier. However, I did look at the graph through week 17 and, surprisingly, when I excluded the outlier the graph really didn't look that much different. So I went with this one for dramatic effect. :)

I think the point is that a graph which looks like you're making no progress at one stage, e.g. 17 weeks into H40 (where it looks consumption is increasing), can show a very different trend just a few weeks later.
