Hi again everyone,
I only had time for a quick hello before without giving my story >> I am 39 yrs old and have been an alcoholic for the past 20 odd yrs with alcohism in both sides of my family. I started with binge drinking and progressed to drinking at home after work and days off. I am a functioning alcoholic how drinks every day I can ( exept on night shift > with some difficulty ), I try to manage my drinking around work but it is getting harder each year ( I drink late afternoon and evening ), the fun in drinking was gone a long time ago and my life now revolves around my next beer. I have a loving wife and daughter and wish to be a better husband and father that I know i can be without alcohol in my life. I have tried AA twice with poor results. I found tsm on the net and got the book a couple of months ago and the concept just made sense. My Dr gave me the nal no problem and I set off on my journey. I had no side effects from the nal and I have found a clear reduction in my consumption. I am a Beer drinker and at about week 6 I found I could drink Light beer ( i normally only drink full strength for the "hit" ). I am hoping TSM will allow me to absain from alcohol in the future but I still have strong cravings. I still have a way to go but things are looking good so far. I am in my 11th week of treatment with consumption under 20 units per week on av. ( pre tsm >50 ).
