    Indifference.

    Hi there!

    It recently occurred to me that I had just dropped out of sight without saying a word. At the time, I hadn't meant to stop posting, so didn't think to say anything special. One thing led to another, and suddenly ages had gone by, so apologies for just disappearing without a word. I made some really good friends here, so at the very least I should have explained myself.

    For various personal reasons I took a break, and this break made me realise how much time I was spending posting and reading. At the time I didn't intend it for the break to be so long! That said though, it's been very refreshing not being tied to MWO, so I don't think I'll ever return to the level of posting I was at previously, and recent developments at work and at home mean I just don't have that sort of time available anyway.

    One of the reasons that I became reluctant to post is this - despite baclofen transforming my life completely, we still don't really have a clue how to do it. Based on my experience, I was advising people to go up quickly, and they were struggling, and it's hard not to feel responsible when someone tells you they have had the worst night of their life as a result of your well-intentioned advice. Saying that, however, if you are reading this and wondering whether or not to try baclofen, do it now. It has the power to change your life, and it does it while you aren't even looking.

    So without further ado, a brief update for those that are interested...

    All is well in Bleepdom. Moderation turned out to be too much effort, so a while ago I decided to stop drinking, and that was that. Baclofen makes that choice an easy one. More than that though, it actually means it's not even really a big decision. A year ago, the thought of giving up booze would have been like giving up a part of myself - now it is easy to see it as a net gain, rather than a loss. It's amazing how baclofen has caused a shift in my mindset regarding booze. That's where the magic is, imo.

    I'm now using liquid baclofen. Those who have followed my story will know that 300mg's a month in Zim costs about $500. Various plans and schemes meant, with the valuable help of some members here, I was able to reduce this to about $250. With the liquid, I have reduced it further still, and it's now cheap. I just need to regularise my supply lines, and I'm all set. At last. It has been a nightmare sorting this out, so I'm glad that looks to be a thing of the past.

    Let me stop here, this post is rapidly becoming far too long! Time to see how everyone is doing...

            bleep! so good to see you back!

            my brother once needed a 'break' from the women in his immediate family. half a year ago he came back to us and reported that he did need a break, but he didn't mean it to be six years long! glad you haven't taken that kinda time to show your face -or chameleon- around here again.

            and so good to read that for you stopping modding was a pretty easy transition. i'm hoping it'll be so for me, too, as i think i'm headed in that direction.

            i can see that little one of yours padding around underfoot. when is the next one coming along? hope your wife is having a comfy pregnancy.

            and i hope to be seeing you around the threads. maybe you'll even show up on mine, for old time's sake.

            love ya! welcome back for as long as you can grace us.

                  Awe Bleepster. I'm so happy to see you. However much you can be here will be enough. You've got to do what you've got to. With regard to abstinence and posting. Family comes first!

                      Bleep, how low did you reduce on liquid bac? And I forgot to say congrats on going AF, I'm proud of you. Are you still insomniac to the point that you eat four meals a day or has the reduction in bac helped you that way too? Very glad the expense has become manageable. That must be a relief. :h

                        i guess bac costs as much in zimbabwe as water filters cost here! so we're one for one.

                                Bruun, I'm still on the same dose, only in liquid form. Well, not exactly on the same dose - 270mg's seems to be the sweet spot. Any lower, and the pub seems to be a good idea. Insomnia is gone, but my sleep is not as good as it once was. That's about it on the SE front though.

                                The liquid form is much more convenient, except at work, so I still take tablets there. I'm not sure how I would explain squirting a syringe of liquid in my mouth in mid-meeting. Cost-wise, it's no comparison, and the chaps at Virtuous Labs will bend over backwards to help, so look into it if you are on HDB.

                                Gym unfortunately was taking too much time, so I had to cut back. If I want to do it it will have to be done at 5 in the morning, and I haven't quite reached that level of commitment. At least this way, getting even bigger can be put to the back of list of things to worry about.
