another 5 units today.

Today I was a bit in doubt if I should drink. I had nice afternoon sex before deciding to take Nal.
Was not fully sure if I really needed alcohol today. But because of my previous pressure, I will keep up to my alcohol units - and if it is only to show my body 10 times that there is really no use in drinking alcohol.

Some people said it on this board - that it is not about the units.
I agree to them. There are so many things that Nal has done to me. Because of my combination with Bupropion+Diet I have lost around 19% of my body weight in the last 3.8 months. Also my mind has changed. I am more conscious about what I do, and I don't take my life easy anymore.

Also I am not pouring down the glasses anymore into myself. Always drinking now sip by sip. I can not imagine how I ever could just pour it into myself to only get the effect. This is clearly something Nal has helped me on.

I am very positive. I think if I give enough time - lets say 6 months - then I will be really great off.
It is just that rollercoaster, and I try to participate on purpose more and more into it. After my previous experience I rather drink too much than too less (sounds stupid yes - but the FORCED lower consumption only resulted in spike ups every 2 weeks later, so I rather show my body extremely that there is no "kick" to gain and go for extinguishion ...)

Now after reading about someone else experience I noticed about my weird dreams. Seems my dreams deal a lot about violence, ghosts, sex and jumping off buildings. Not sure what exactly this dreams meaning is. Luckily they are just dreams!

Also I am getting my "bad mood" again. Kicking the ass of someone right now - I think it is part of getting my life under control. So although I am biologically drunken I am still clear enough to fight with someone to get my points clear, and I still care highly about my private interests. Amazing Achievement!

Those look like pretty darned good numbers to me.

5 US units a day?

Weekly units in the 20's

last week 37 units. Drinking every day up to 5 units ... lets see if when we get a voluntarily AF day ...

5 units today.

I have the feeling that exercising or sex are making a difference to how Nal works.

Yesterday I was not as clear as now. And other days when I was exercising before or meanwhile taking Nal the medicine did not work as much - at least that was my experience.

Did any of you watch similar things happening?

today 5 units

i noticed the last days something strange. After more and more whiskey my tongue starts to burn. Usually it would be the way around. More alcohol less feeling - so you do not feel it burning anymore.

I guess this is the first sign of my body telling me "listen what you do is WRONG".

gf is again pushing, but I told her, that I have to drink as much as my body needs - any other way did not work out.
No matter how many times she asks me why i am drinking so much, or how much i am drinking - it is for my best interest to keep on to the levels until my body tells me .... STOP!

another week finished. total units are 35 units (=7 x 5 units)

It is quite interesting to see a consummation of daily 5 units day. I am still waiting for my body to tell me STOP.
For now I am capped to this, as I know, that I will puke on 6 units a day.

After the increase to 75mg Nal the first and the second week have been showing the maximum units that I was expecting.
Looking at the chart any development will now be interesting. Even if it would stay around the same level for a couple of more months I would tend to call it a top creation, for future decline.

the "magic" number 5

is 5 units a day good or bad? I tend to say good. Because of Nal my units do not grow beyond this number anymore (note: without eating).

Still it would be exciting to have a drop - not forcing it. Waiting for my body to stop me. - I hope seriously that this will happen!
