Lady,

Good for you! Keep us posted, if you'd like. Everybody responds differently to the Bac, and a new unique experience is always very welcome of course.

Ne/K,

Glowing eyes. I really long to stare in one's glowing eyes again. To drown in. It's time. So do your best to get (back) that aura, Ne.

Uk,
I'd love to see you glow too. Seems you could use some. I hope you hang in there, and get by.

Bleep,
I'm as confident as you. It works. Good that you're doing fine. You seem also a little less manic now. Maybe the Bac just needs a little more time. Your titrate-schedule was a little....ambitious? But it worked for you! And indeed, I feel still more indifferent (if possible) every day. Also the reason why I'm keeping this reasonable high dosage. I think it needs time to work.

Well, enough glowing. Bac to bac.

Thanks LCM.

I thought it was working yet I see people on high doses relapsing, and then myself even after I upped my dose. This has to work otherwise good old will power will be more successful. Remember I'm historically a binge drinker and can go 1, 2, sometimes 3 weeks without a drink using that method. So drinking once a week or ten days is still destructive to me, and has been since even thought I'm drinking a lot less than usual the sides have been so bad I've had trouble functioning without collapsing into a mushy mess of muscle twitches, spasms and somnolence. That has been at least as bad, if not worse than drinking more without the Baclofen.

Keeping up the thread

I'm still lurking MWO every day but are not posting that much.

Well, no news.

Oh, well nice to know maybe. A friend of mine came by tonight. Had not seen her for quite a while (months). She drinks wine but I didn't know which color. So I had to go to the store and buy a red and white one, just in case. The white one, of course, in the fridge to cool.

When she arrived I was already kind of proud of myself of taking so good care of my guest. I happily poored the wine in a nice glass for her, and I took a soda, or tea, don't know anymore. She was having more and more fun and I was having nice evening.

When she went away I gave her the bottle (what was left of it) to take home because I wasn't going to drink it anyway and that would be a waste.

And this just another story. I get in drinking situations a lot but it's all fine with me.

Take the pills and get well.

Low,

You were a big if not the biggest part of me being here.

Thank You as always...and don't ever go away. I am afraid with that site from Anonymity that many of us who need you guys will be left behind.:upset:

I know it is necessary.

Thanks again,

lady

HA! I can't resist!

Low I am very happy to say, I TOLD YOU SO! We NEED you. So there. Keep freakin' posting.

Lady, pm him, if that's your wont. He's very, very fun and funny. And indeed, ahem, rather sexy. just sayin'
He's a confirmed lurker. Which is very annoying. If he shared half of what he's thinking on here we'd all be in stitches or profoundly pissed off (meaning angry, not drunk!)

Check out the cheeseburger/gym rant. :H:H:H

Just keeping up

Re AL nothing new. I'm pretty sure I'll never drink again.

Bit of adjusting the dosage though. I got down to 100 mg/d again. At 150 I felt some SE's coming to say hi again. Could well be that I also had a very light flu, didn't eat enough (Europeans forget to eat sometimes). But I felt some tiredness and a little band around my head, which I thought I got rid off a long time ago. Titrating up or down with 50 mg I can do in one day without any effect btw.

So back to 100 again and that's better. The weather is better so I could do with a little less Bac anyway.

Noticed something at work though:
Lately I tend to forget things. I NEVER forgot things (unwillingly). I always considered my note-making colleagues to be children of a lesser God because of their lack good working brains. Now I take notes myself and I can't stand being like 'them'!!
I'm still sharp AT the moment, but after the moment the information pretty much disappears. That means less bs to remember, but also not being sure anymore that I'm doing my job like I could/should. If I mess things up, I want to have done that consciencely and not out of stupidity.
Considering spring is coming up and so I could do with lower dosage Bac to be just as happy, I'll be titrating down to 50-75 soon. See what happens. I wanna keep that very comfortable 120 mg/d feeling.

But it's all just very minor details. I'm just trying to figure out what's the optimum now. Low and the Bac will together find a way.

All the newbies: :welcome:

Congrats on 60 days AF, Low

Your dropping in dose so significantly cheers me up considerably Low, thanks for that. Hopefully the forgetfulness will disappear entirely. Mine seems to have, off the stupid doses, but maybe I've just forgotten I've forgotten?

Congrats, Low. I love your earthy, no nonsense approach. When I was trying to learn to golf, I would study the ball's position, study my stance, take a couple dozen practice swings . . . and then the friend who was helping me got annoyed and said, "Oh, just hit the damn ball!" That's what I hear you saying around the forums, "Just take the damn pills!" Not a bad way to approach either game, IMO.

Well, I'm indifferent (6 jan 2011)

Hey papou,

I suspect Low is a long way from you, an entirely different continent, in fact!

Never fear though, baclofen can be gotten the world over, just slightly more difficult in some places than in others. Take a look at some of the online ordering threads around here. I'm a little pushed for time, otherwise I'd dig one up for you.

Good luck.

Hi there everybody!

Seems to be a lot of whining and ' discussion' around here lately People, take it easy. My god, help each other, reach out a little. Remember the 60's or whatever makes you happy.

Update:

I got off Bac. No maintenance-dose. I never really figured out the ratio behind this maintenance dose. If things should go wrong, I know exactly what to do. Still have some stack.

The 120's made me happy, but I keep forgetting to much and I wanted to be mentally sharp again. Titrated down to zero in a few days easily. I noticed a difference between 50-75 and no Bac at all. Just did not expect that it would be that big.

I have been working my ass off lately. Long hours, short nights. Fixing financial stuff rapidly.

How's the drinking? Bac is a cure. No doubt about that for me. Not a tool, a cure. I had a date a few weeks ago with a girl. On the first date I drank half glass of beer, a few sips of wine. I'm still seeing this lady. She's wild...I never have known a girl wilder than she is. These days I'm drinking herbal tea (yes really) and she's drinking/taking whatever she wants or needs (problem-user). And it's all fine with me. I feel no need to join her. Not even with all the other recreational stuff she's doing.

In all other occasions, or at home, or whatever. I think I could take a beer of two and leave it with that. But I never liked the first 5 drinks anyway. I just wanted to get drunk so the drinking of those first 5 has always been a necessity in a way When I'm in company of friends and everbody's having beers, I take an af-beer. I have noticed that nobody gives a fuck if you're drinking or not. I'm not hiding from those occasions. Addiction isolates, but avoiding drinking occasions also isolates me from my friends. But, thanks to the Bac, it's not a problem at all.

It's springtime. Money comes in. Some company at night. Very energetic and productive. I'm still very convinced, I'm sure, that I'll never get 'there' again.

If I wanted to, I'd be able get totally drunk today. But I don't want do. That has nothing to do with willpower (since there is no craving). It has everything to do with normal reasoning, weighing pro's and cons. Like any healthy human being.

Have fun here, and be nice.

Low

Low, I'm a bit speechless.

Congratulations? Wow?

Thank you.
Ne
(glad you like the girl and well, there's always bac if she wants it, right?)

[bleep]

Well, I'm indifferent (6 jan 2011)

Wise words Low.

I am very happy to hear you aren't taking baclofen at all, and still are managing so well. That is greatly reassuring.

And still seeing the swinging chick from the other thread, no less! Good stuff all around. You certainly are one of the shining examples of what baclofen can do.

Awesome mate, well done.
