Thanks

I am thankful this year that I found baclofen and all of you. Thanks so much for the encouragement, advise, and sharing your stories. I have been almost completely AF for 3 or 4 months now (can't really remember!) I've lost 20 lbs. I've saved lots of money. WOW!!

I'm still between 240-270. Trying to go a little lower, since it's kind of boring going to sleep at 8:00, lol!

Off to have my first hit of wacky backy! Love and best wishes to all of you, new and "old!"

So, how is everyone doing? I am at 120mg and may have hit my switch (finally!) I was really stressed last night, had a light beer (nothing else in the house) and quit after one! That's a new one for this Phoenix.

Been a terrible week.

A good number of you have been so fantastic, sending me private e-mails through the site. You would not believe how much that meant to me. I have thanked you all individually, but this is a 'generic' thanks to everyone. The concept of "group hugs" makes me want to dive under my bed and hide under tons of fluff, but there you go! Consider yourself hugged just this once.

On the site I have something that I call "Thought For The Day". It's just a load of nonsense really. My views on anything and everything. Today's is a bit about Christmas, kids and booze.

It's dead easy to join in and send comments. I would love it if you could find a few moments to tell me what you think. It's not a 'thread' or anything to compete with MWO. It's just another place to feel welcome.

I really hope to see you there.

Hiya

started baclofen on monday. felt like nothing until about yesterday, then i started to feel sleepy.
e-mailed dr phill loads of times (poor man) - got good advice
it's going ok, i think
had a drink last night - glass of white wine. don't know why i did. didn't really want it. habit i s'pose
didn't want another - now that is unusual
i'm in the deep end, but still keeping my head above water
isn't this all a bit crazy?

Well - I am just a boring old so & so, who has done the titration up, then tapered back down to a 80mgs of BAc per day.

No drinking or even interest in it - except for one day when I'd missed two doses and the thought that just one vino would be OK...

Otherwise I just love Baclofen more than I can say.

Hi Andy R

That's so brilliant. I'm one full week in now. Baclofen 20mg three times. I can't quite believe the difference already. The urge has gone. And that bothers me a bit. Too good, too quickly.
but the view is good from the deep end

Amaryllis: I can truly relate to drinking just because you are used to it. I think that's where I am at right now. But to get the cravings gone at 80mg, I am truly envious. I am at 140 and just now feeling the cravings beginning to abate. Glad you are seeing some hope.

Cowgal - sorry you had a bad night at home. I know that can suck big time. Its a huge trigger for me as I am sure it is for just about anyone. Why feel the pain when you can just drink and pass out?

Andy - I love bac, too!! :h

Hugs to everyone

much better

I have such hope now, there is "a way out", if you will for me and the kids.................they are happy, talked to them last night, Mike was out drinking and i fell asleep before he got home, need to find a apartment to stay in, then some peace will enter my life................for once in a long time..............wow!!:h

Hope you all are doing well, will be here more often heart and soul so I can try to help, since my energy won't be wasted on this toxic place,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it is all good!!!
