Love it. I also havent had a cocktail since xmas....I am on the abstinence thing for the moment. There is now way this would have been possible without TSM. NO WAY. It's kinda funny in a weird way when you look back and think of all those justifications and reasons why you can't quit. Also kinda funny how your thinking changes when you are able to break the cycle and get out of the routine of the bottle for a period of time...Kinda like whoah how the hell did I waste my life like that? BUT first you have to break the routine to get those feelings. It took me a solid 13 months or so to REALLY feel this way.
To me I guess thats the "cure" or "control" whatever you want to call it..lol me = Miracle. Like you I am sure at some point I will have a drink, I just don't think too much about it anymore. Sometimes I miss the bar room. I had my home away from home, the every night stop. However the last 2 years of my crazy drinking I stopped going in public...was too afraid how I would act. Now that I have got things under control, out of boredom, sometimes I start thinking...yep be nice to stop and have a few with the boys. In my mind I can romanticise the hell out of "the bar". But reality, it's the same group of drunks bitching about the same old ****. If I wanna go..no problem I take my Nal and go...however also like you, the side effects are back HARD everytime I take Nal due to the infrequency I drink and take Nal. Nal has a very STRONG effect on me so I have like 2-3 and then get bored as hell while the guys I know get tanked.
God I do love this method - take a pill one hour prior to drinking and done. Too simple. For me, I know I can drink and abstience really means NOTHING to me at all..i.e. the AA BS of how long ya sober?. I think just knowing I can drink is HUGE for me and the flip side as you called it "seeing past the addiction" knowing how bad it can be is also HUGE. Damn I sound like a well balanced alcoholic.
