Apology

I apologize, Ig. I had not seen your story/diary thread.

(I have had periods when I have been traveling and without internet connection. When I get reconnected, I try to catch up (on this forum only), but sometimes I miss big chunks.)

To me, this thread seemed like a mostly frivolous banter, harmless, but not particularly enlightening. (I have to admit I mostly scanned it, though.)... and then for you to come suddenly with the "unfuckingbelievable" news that you had reached your switch seemed not just weird, but almost selfish (i.e. not sharing information).

I did not realize you had already shared the details of your progress (intimately) in a very useful way for others, hence my questions and my critical tone.

I appreciate that you did not react in anger, but calmly answered my questions.

Just a thought: I wonder if it might be a good idea for you to 1) amend your story/diary thread to include the switch date (and how it felt), and then 2) make the link to your story/diary thread your signature (and of course updates would be much appreciated)?

Apologies again. And, oh yeah, congratulations! :thumbs: :wd:

6 weeks sounds good Mog. The way I'm looking at it is that it took me 30 years to get here so what's a few months here or there really matter!

The money thing is important to me. I'm popping nearly $10 worth of Bac everyday whereas I can buy a bottle of imported scotch for $6. Long term its a wash I know; its just at the moment I'm in a tight place.

Thanks for the reply. The main thing is that I will be doing what I think feels safe, on that note I must revive the taper or not thread.

Beatle Np

That's internet parlance for No problem

Which means I don't have a problem with what you wrote

ie. No need for an apology but apology accepted nonetheless.

We're cool

Which means chilled but not temperature wise

Which ......"Oh give it up Ig" Ig2

On the switch date issue. I've thought long and hard but have decided to let the log stand as is. There is a clue as to the switch date if you look at the last few entries. The letters AF might help you find it.

Yours
Ever attentively

So Iggy Pop, how many days and how are you feeling buddy?

[ignominous]

Sobriety. Whatever that is.

It's just past midnight here so that's officially 6 days and I'm still feeling incredulous, astounded, surprised; maybe even a lttle anti climatic, poleaxed, bac'd out, in awe of the dismal state of my life and empowered.

Nice of you to ask soothsayer.

[startingover]

Ahh, progressing as normal then.
Keep that up Iggy, things will start to fall into place in time

Bac forgetfulness SE still strong or is it my own absent mindedness but I've forgotten how to do the smilie things again.

I would have added inconceivable to the original list but from the moment I first took Baclofen a world of new opportunities opened in my head.

While I'm here I'd like to thank MWO and the moderators and every one here for being here. Thank you all.

Hey there Iggy Pop
Hows trix?

Thanks for asking starting
Still incredulous, mood swings...............too early to say really.

Lost my focus now that I'm AF. Lot too sort out, not sure where to start. Need a few more days to get used to this.

On the up side I reduced the Bac to 230mg today and have no desire to have a drink

That is great news!!

As long as you continue to remain indifferent to alcohol as you titrate down, do you have a set point that you plan to get to before you stop and stay there awhile?

[ignominous]

Sobriety. Whatever that is.

No I don't Isolde

And that is ny main concern about all this at this point. Had hoped to have a game plan in place when this position came.

Going to start a new thread. Ha

I remember having those feelings Iggy, but I think they came later for me...maybe at about 3 months. The first three purely spent on getting through and celebrating each AF day.
Try new stuff, new routines, see what makes you feel good and what doesnt.
The rest will fall into place when the times right.

Thanks Start I'm fairly confident that things will fall into place.

I want to do nothing.

That is not that there is nothing I want to do but I would welcome some time to come down from this roller coaster ride that I've been on and am continuing. I would love to be able to do nothing.

Life has a knack of not letting up. Ha.
