    New in southern AZ - want to try Baclofen soon

    Hello I'm new here and hoping to try Baclofen soon.

    A little background on me...I'm 43, female, smart, talented, beautiful, athletic and full blown alcoholic over 10 years. I lost my career as a telcom/network engineer after 12 years living the high life in the San Francisco area, lost everything (car, home, mind) except I am also a musician and am actually excelling at that. somehow. i live with my mother right now to try and get back on my feet.

    i feel good. i've been sober 30 days today. i go to AA almost every day and i appreciate that program SO MUCH...it was there for me when i had NOTHING.

    i've known about baclofen for about a year i think but i have had no funds to buy it. i have a job interview Monday, so keep your fingers crossed because i want to start baclofen in a few weeks if i get the job.

    i am looking forward to befriending you folks here on this forum as i continue on my journey. for now, i am fine with going to AA...i think it is a godsend for so many people. i've read a couple of the threads and looking forward to digging into more and especially sharing my progress.

    for today, i am happy to be sober and not craving alcohol. i would like to be able to go to a wine bar again someday and drink normally, like have 2 then call it a night that i my goal.

    thanks,

    LVD

    Hi LVD,

    Welcome to MWO, so glad you found us!
    Congrats on your 30 AF days, great work!

    You may have already noticed there are ongoing threads addressing AA, Baclofen & Moderation. I hope you find the support you need.

    I joined MWO two years ago hoping to learn to drink 'normally'. After my first 30 AF days I changed my mind & decided not to put myself at risk. In other words I just knew it wouldn't work for me. I am happy & healthy these days remaining AF

    Please feel free to ask questions & jump into those threads I mentioned.
    Wishing you the best!

      hi lav! THANK YOU. for the warm welcome...i really appreciate it

      i understand you not willing to put yourself at risk...i am not in any hurry, actually and i don't even care if i wait a year or longer to try baclofen...i'm single and miss mingling with others in nice lounges and wine bars...my drinking wasn't all bad but, it was pretty disastrous in the big picture to say the least.

      i think the positive effects of the baclofen is more what i am after, especially since i will be performing in night clubs again...not even neccesarily to drink but to feel at ease.

      i dunno i am glad to be sober tonight though, to have no compulsion to drink, to feel clear and healthy...it's a miracle. i feel great and i am looking forward to a great day tomorrow then getting ready for my job interview...i'll let ya know!
