Sinclarians, first AF Day??
Hi Solice,
Actually, I took Nal on the first day and drank but did not drink for 4 more days. It was more circumstances then anything else. I was on a business trip and I loose interest in drinking when I am in the trenches.
I have also had a couple of, "just don't feel like it" days since. Probably in the first month. I don't ascribe much meaning to it. I was just tired and went to bed without drinking.
Being AF is not my intended goal. I have no goal except to always take Nal before I drink. If I don't want to drink, I won't take Nal.
In the beginning "I wanted this monster to just get out of me" but that is not the case now. I no longer feel threatened (as much) by alcohol. I know it is not my enemy. The endrophin process is what has been hurting me. I try not to think in terms of "swearing off" since that never worked before.
I am half way through my fifth week and last night I had the wife pour me a double shot or tequilla. At 10 PM, I still have a sip and so I gulped it and went to bed. If I had felt like more, I would have drank it. But I didn't so I went to bed. The grip of alcohol is becoming very weak but every drink I take makes me a little healthier.
Hope that answers your question. -
Sinclarians, first AF Day??
I am going to go AF today I think. It is 4.30pm here the time I would normally be thinking of taking the Nal- I am gonna attempt to miss today as I have a lingering headache that has gone on for 2 days now, and I really would like to be shot of it- funnily enough, headaches have become a trigger for me lately, but I know alcohol will likely make it worse, so I will have an AF day today- it is cheating somewhat because without the headache I don't think I would be considering it yet.
If I get cravings I will take the Nal and have a drink, but the intelligent part of my brain is telling me to give it a miss
