Maggie, 5 days AF in one week: WELL DONE YOU!! WOOO HOOO! You should feel wonderful about that.

XOXO Newlife

Oh Newlife - well it wasn't actually 5 AF days as I ended up drinking on the 4th July - BUT in the past 10 days I have had 7 AF days - so did drink for 3 of the 10. So yes that is good. But I am still taking the teeny bit of AB - today I have not felt well at all - I didn't drink yesterday or the day before so it has to be the AB - it really affects me. Tomorrow I am not taking it and am going to take a Nal - I am also going to take some DHM .... it should be arriving tomorrow from Amazon. I will take it an hour before I plan on drinking, the same as the Nal ..... studies show that it might help curb the amount one drinks ..... Cheeto is also trying it. I am hoping that it will help cut the amount that I drink on the days that I do drink as the 4 or 5 that I have these days really gives me a bad Nal-over next day! It also is supposed to help with hangovers ! Oh gosh I will be SO glad when all this is behind me !!!!!

Hugs, Maggie x

Agreed Maggie. I think I will try the DHM too. I still think you are doing really well. Seems to me you have turned a corner, even with the AB. XOXO Newlife

Hi Maggie, I hopefully will get my Thrive + Hangover Cure by July 17th. So you take it an hour before drinking like Nal?
Actually I just read on the Directions to take 3 capsules with your last alcoholic beverage or before bed and an additional capsule or 2 can be taken in the morning. With that amount that you take for a single drinking session this is very expensive?

Only 2 AF last week but better than nothing. I wanted an AF yesterday but my cravings were nagging at me.

Nal On!

I think if you want it to have a TSM-style effect on GABA you'll need to take it before you start drinking, so, for the sake of simplicity, it's probably easiest to take it with your Nal. if you take it after you've finished drinking you won't get any "blocking" effect on the GABA high whilst you're drinking, only the reduction in hangover

I'm really interested to hear how you get on with this - do please let us know how it goes

Cross post Badger .....

NOOOOOO - it wasn't a cross post - I lost my post! Oh darn - I will have to post again in about half an hour - got to go ..... darn it !!!

Okay - back to where I was .... Cheeto - I bought Thrive because it has 900mg of DHM in it - I actually wanted DHM but the tabs were the same price for the same number of pills but only 300mg - so I got the thrive. I got it for the DHM and am taking it an hour before drinking - same as Nal - Google DHM and curbing Alcohol - it is supposed to really help. I took both my Nal and the Thrive at 1.00 and did not pour a drink until 3.00 - it made me very calm - unless I am imagining it. I need to look and see what else is in it. It is going to be interesting to see if it will cut my intake through disinterest!

hugs, Maggie x

I'm on the edge of my seat. Keep us posted, girls.

BTW I started new thread TSM + (DHM, GABA, etc.) as suggested by Guapo. Kind of got lost, though.
