      Lilly I don't know about the Baclofen thing, but I was very similar...well to start with anyway,then it would be a Wednesday, Friday saturday thing etc etc.

      Hope you find your way to beat it..you will find your own style of combating the triggers. I am Day 22....but not getting too confident just yet
      Good luck

        Thanks for your reply chickennumber 3, cograts on your 22 day af, well done, I have done 30+ days and 14 days af, I will just have to try harder this time round, and not cave in, I probably need to change my routine on friday nights, so as not to get into a situation to start drinking. Thanks again and good luck on your journey.Lilly

          Lilly, you've just said yourself what you need to do. Put yourself in a position next Fri that you know you can't/won't drink. Play tricks with yourself - pretend it's a Monday! Do anything, promise yourself a treat on the next day, just get thro that weekend and suddenly the next one just doesn't seem as daunting cos you have broken the vicious circle. Keep trying trying!!

            Lilly, you've done really well in the past, and will do again. Think of all the drinking that you haven't done, that you usually would have.

            Press on, love.

              Hi Lilly!

              That was the trick for me.....changing my routine big time, and not putting myself/avoiding situation's where i might be tempted to drink. After a couple or few month's, i was then strong enough, and committed enough in my sobriety to get out there and socialise again. Almost 2 yrs on, i'm rocking it. The thinking has changed, as have the old routines, with time, and application, that is, me making it happen. Re baclofen online, ask 'Reggie' about that, as he may have some knowledge there.

              Your previous af time is tremendous Lilly. Keep it going, and check out the 'Toolbox' thread in the 'monthly abstinence' section.

              Best wishes, G-bloke.

                Hi Lilly,

                Remember the story about when you got your first bike and how wobbly you were when you tried to ride it. You fell off a few times, but undeterred, got straight back on again and got a bit further down the road. This kept happening until one day, you got on that bike, with no training wheels and off you went, straight and balanced. Becoming al free is no different to learning any new life skill. It usually doesnt happen straight away (at least for the majority of us), but with determination and a goal for where we truly want to be, we can guide our sobriety, firstly with those training wheels on and maybe a bit wobbly, to eventually straight up and free. Stay with it Lilly, you wobbled a bit, but you have got a lot further down the road than before. Love Saffy
