    Sobrexa - Daidzin

    6 days into my juice fast after watching "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" documentary, which was EXCELLENT. You can watch it free on Hulu at Watch Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead online | Free | Hulu. I cut off the alcohol completely for 4 days (had a 4 day weekend to get the juice fast thing off to a good start), and it was actually painless; no withdrawals or cravings at all. But then I went back to work and had a shitty day and came home and had a stiff bloody mary. I poured a second glass with only 2 ounces but didn't want it.
    However I am finishing it tonight, just because I don't like juice going to waste. V8 ain't cheap!
    I noticed that on one drink yesterday, I definitely felt it strongly! My tolerance appears to be back down in the normal range

    I didn't feel any need to drink tonight, and it's only 2 ounces. just finishing it off. Anyway, I promised my spreadsheet a while back, so here it is. I've shared it on Google Docs. I measure drinks per day where one drink = 1.5 oz. hard liquor, or 1 beer. It has a line graph to show the trend line as well as average drinks per day before and after Sobrexa calculations. I will keep updating it until I finish off the Sobrexa.

    EDIT: I also should add that after 4 days of sobriety and juicing, I felt so much better in the morning and there was a sense of clarity, like I noticed a lot more detail in everything and my thinking was significantly clearer.

      Sobrexa - Daidzin

      Final post here.... did Sobrexa help? was it worth $700?

      Well, my average drinking pattern declined significantly during the Sobrexa treatment. That's a fact. But is that completely attributable to the Sobrexa? I don't think so. I think it was a combination of factors. How much of that you can attribute to Sobrexa, I really can't say.

      So where am I now? just finishing off the last of the Sobrexa, and tonight (Friday night) my drinking is right up there with my average amount before Sobrexa.

      However, my pattern over the last few weeks has significantly lowered. On regular week nights, I would be fine with about 4-5 drinks (drink= 1 beer or 1 shot). I even went 4 days with no liquor, which I didn't think I could do without withdrawals, but I did it easily.

      It just happens that tonight is a Friday night and my desire to drink is entirely mental, not physiological. If I had access to some other type of drug, I could easily do that instead. For me, it's just about getting fucked up. Some sort of deep-seated rebellion issues.

      I think Sobrexa can be a very valuable part of coming off of alcohol, for someone who is physiologically addicted.. someone who shakes in the morning and just NEEDS alcohol, even a small amount, to keep the shakes at bay. That's who can really benefit from this the most, along with a supplementary program.

      For me, it has helped me change my habits and triggers. I started exercising and juicing. And I no longer drink to excess on weeknights; able to cut off at around 4 drinks. But on the weekends, such as right now, I can still take 4-5 shots, and 4-5 beers and truth be told, I want more. But it's not an alcohol craving, it's a psychological craving. If I had marijuana, I'd go for that instead. If I had other things, I would go for those instead. But not everyone was raised in a super strict religious cult, so --- I have issues.

      Anyway, my final opinion on it is this:
      If your drinking is socially triggered, and you can just simply change your life so that you don't have those social triggers anymore, then you can see if your addiction is mental or physiologically dominated. If you can find something else to fill the gap, such as AA if your trigger was social contact, then that might be the ticket for you.

      If you have a strong physiological addiction where you crave alcohol all times of the day and have to maintain at least a small amount of alcohol in your blood, AND - you cannot afford to go into rehab, but you can afford $700 for the Sobrexa, then this might be the perfect thing for you, as it will directly attack that physiological craving.

      I've currently reduced my average intake to manageable levels, partly with Sobrexa and partly with some lifestyle changes. For me it was worth it. Although I'm not free from alcohol, it has helped me reduce my consumption patterns to where I feel in control again. And I know for a fact now that if circumstances were to demand full sobriety from me, I could do it and it wouldn't be nearly as difficult as I imagined it would be before Sobrexa.
      I hope this is helpful to someone.

        I'd like to see the "private forum" they advertise. Why wouldn't they want people to see their forum and be enticed to drop the $800 smackaroonies?

        SOBREXA - Reviews & Brand Information - Avantcare, Inc. Edneyville, NC - Serial Number: 85249858
        I have completed Avantcare's Last Call Program (Sobrexa) with great success. I have gone from 5 year, quart of whiskey-a-day habit to today being 6-months alcohol free. I credit the Last Call Program for helping me launch my new life. Worth every penny I spent and in hindsight not even close to the cost of alcohol I was consuming.

        On your private forums issue, unless you are posting from another planet, you know some people consider alcohol addiction a very private matter since society still treats it with such a great negative stigma. Those forums are kept private by design to respect the anonymity that members expect and appreciate.

          For me it was not a long term solution. While I was on it, my usage went down dramatically but after I finished the course it went right back up again. Now I am looking into Antabuse
