Right here I am, alcohol free.
As a few people will have noticed I've been flailing around for the last few days wanting to leave the forum. The truth is that I don't want to leave, and a lot of friends on here have been messaging me with support. I've been on MWO for a long time and always found it useful, as have the people I've met from here too.
I've just been through an amazing experience with Baclofen, however it's become clear that I don't 'fit' into the topa/baclofen medication section at all. I wasn't comfortable there and this is what pre-empted my request for removal. I know I've been guilty of attention seeking for the last few days, but I could take no more of the mental anguish I was suffering in there.
I've now asked Roberta to reverse my request for removal, and I hope I haven't caused her too much trouble.
What I'd like to do if it's ok with everyone is talk about my journey with baclofen, as well as my past experiences with dealing with this illness. I won't bore you with titration values, scientific papers etc just my story of how I've got here(if you want to follow up there are plenty of information threads in the meds section below). All I can say is that I feel so free, and I have zero cravings even if I try and conjure up how drinking feels to me.
I will have to add this disclaimer though - that you don't mess with baclofen(or any other medication) without reading up on it properly. I'm a bit of a trial and error person, I don't abide by rules (apart from when it could put others in danger) because I always want to break them - but that is sometimes because I don't really care about myself.
