I've been feeling for a while (couple of years) that my drinking has got a little out of control and I am getting into the situation where I spend mornings either trying to work out what I did the night before or regretting what I did the night before. Hangovers can't be shrugged off like they were 5 years ago and they ruin my productivity for at least a day after a good drink.
So, I have a period in my life coming up where I need to be able to concentrate on business and my family a lot more than I am now. I have tried knocking drinking on the head a few times (usually in January as I try to go as long as I can without a drink during this month, the longest I managed was all of January, February and a week into March but that was while quitting smoking as well, I knew if I had a drink I'd start smoking again instantly) but always go back sooner rather than later. I need at least good 6 months with as clear a mind as is possible so intend to try and achieve this with the help of Baclofen and hopefully use that as a springboard to a longer period of my life without booze being at the centre of it. Ideally I'd love to reach the stage where I can go out for a social drink or two without needing to carry on into bender territory although if this isn't achievable I'm not going to be too upset.
I have two bottles of Baclofen, each one has 100 pills in it, one contains 25mg pills and one contains 10mg pills. I weigh about 95kg and had intended to start at 10mg a day for a week before moving up to 30mg a day and then on to 50mg a day, does this sound about right or maybe a little too slow?
I'll be thankful for any advice and hope to be able to offer encouragement to others as well!
