Ashl- That is fantastic- you must feel very relieved, I know I do. It is so strange that something that was such a constant source of sadness and worry in my life has just kind of faded to something that is still prominent but I now can think of it in a positive light rather than just sinking into black despair.

Here's to the next 6 weeks 8-)

I feel exactly the same. It's a huge weight lifted off. I know myself it's working...may not quite as fast as I like (I want to be within safe drinking levels yesterday) but the hope is the most prominent thing about this program for me. That and not having to go to meetings

I lost track of you. Good to see that you are still with us.

Thanks SR.

I'm afraid I'm not doing so well. My consumption and cravings have become out of control similar to pre-Nal levels. Shame - I'm a bit disappointed with myself but carrying on as normal with the Nal.

That's the way ASHL, just carry on- we are not even half way there.

We all seem to have experienced the same set-backs. When I first started, RV was expressing deep woes. I think the pattern is common. Just stay on the method.

All the best.

Agreed. I've had similar setbacks where I would worry that maybe the SM isn't working.

You may just have a strong trigger that is going to take some time to extinguish.

Agreed. I've had similar setbacks where I would worry that maybe the SM isn't working. Just remember this is a 4-6 month process.

It is difficult when you are in the lows following a day of uncontrollable drinking, but then you hit those days where you surprise yourself with your ability to resist/control drinking. This really is a journey.
