Murph’s Baclofen (or should that be BacloFUN) diary

ps
ne, i think if i eat the nausea won't be so bad. this morn i didn't have an appetite and so ate very little. took 10 mg of bac on an almost-empty stomach. in future, i'll be careful about this. i generally have a stomach - a general constitution - of steel, so i'm hoping it will see me through this particular se. little food, little bac. hand in hand. thoughts? thanks for caring. i love you, i do! my cyber-sober pal!

RudyB,

I found it was important to eat something with Baclofen or it felt like I had acid raging around in my stomach. I threw up a few times due to it.

But, if I was careful, I at least at the saltines and drank some milk, that SE was minimized.

Good luck with Baclofen!!

i myself want to keep my hands busy stroking human flesh. since about 6 months ago i've wanted sex more than ever. my marriage was basically sexless as i couldn't stand the guy, now i'm swinging totally the other way. i've assumed that it was just that cliche about forty-something women who can't get enough shaggin, but now i'm noticing that, since bac, my randiness has amped up considerably. hmmm. fun stuff. i'll have to keep a good supply of men who do wanna fuck on hand. fuckin is better than drinkin!
xoxo always glad to find you on here, karen. besitos.

Rudy, Bedfordshire is but a short flight away.

Murph you have posted some dreadful posts about me.....just thought you might like to apologise about it..........no worries mate......I just responded . You had a go at UK Blonde,a long time ago, which I thought was uncalled for and said so. Your reply was , in my opinion, rude, to say the least. Yes I do get on here drunk and angry but funnily enough my intuition is usually spot on. Once again, truce? But not from a patronising place. I don't want advice about baclofen but I do want a certain respect, drunk or not, that everybody's contribution here is worthy of consideration. Actually I just changed my mind about that. When people post drunk on here they are not worthy of respect, but certainly some sort of understanding.


Missy

Why not? Have you tried it? If not, why not? Why not give it a go? Do you have a thread of your own? We could discuss it on there. There's a whole bunch of people here who would be only too happy to help you, me included.

Bugger off

Ohhhhh there is so much more to Bugger than a non-Brit can possibly imagine. A good start Ne, but until you understand buggerations and bugger-lugs you have not even scratched the surface of bugger. And until you shout "bloody buggering bollocks" when you stub your toe, bugger will just be a vague foreign expression.

But well done for trying.

Now, your next task is to try and grasp the meaning of the word GIT and provide 2 sample sentences in which it could be used. :H

Murph’s Baclofen (or should that be BacloFUN) diary

Hello. I’m new, though I’ve been lurking around for a couple of weeks, and I’ve lauhed a lot. So thank you guys. I’ve been taking baclofen for a couple of weeks. There’s no need to go into a detailed history of my drinking, as I imagine it’s fairly standard, but my latest achievement has been…going into a classical Chinese exam half drunk. Yay.. or not. For some reason the Daodejing didn’t make a whole lot of sense. I thought I’d join Murph’s thread, as this seems to be where it’s at, and I can empathise with the ‘slack knob’ thing, though I’ve got to admit I’d thought it’d be a fare few decades before Iiked Viagra adverts so much Erm. I haven’t eaten any shit yet, but as far as remember Murp performed that feat post switch, so it’s good to know that there’s life after indifference.
On to Baclofen. As to anybody who questions the morality of relying on medication to treat alcoholism, I say, well, I’d rather use it, overcome my addiction, and reserve my energy for living a meaningful life, rather than throwing everything I’ve got at battling cravings and psychological/physically problems, which, give or take a few some dodgy decisions, I can’t really blame myself for. I am young and single and I haven’t really fucked anybody over (yet), so, to me, alcoholism is not a moral issue- it’s an illness and I want to get over it! I know if the bac fails, I’ll be back to the AA route- and yes, the AA seems like fantastic organisation in many ways bla bla- but certain aspects of the twelve step experience do make me feel a little bit sick.
Ok. So I’m up to 60mg a day and I’m just so fucking tired! It’s difficult to tell how much of that is down to the Bac because I’m drinking more than I ever have done (in my relatively short drinking career) I’m eating crappy food, and I do no exercise, but there’s definitely a kind of heavy somnolence overhanging the usual lethargy/general lack of energy I get from living an unhealthy lifestyle. Maybe if I were AF, doing yoga etc, the bac side effects would be manageable, but who knows. I just don’t want to be someone who has to stop taking bac because I’m just too tired- that would be really disappointing- ‘yea I drunk myself to death because the potential ‘cure’ just made me so tired. I’ve stayed on 60mg for a few days to see what would happen but I’m still knackered. Anyway. How are you guys? After reading your posts for a few weeks, I feel privileged to be posting here. A little drunk and dizzy, so forgive me if I’m talking shit but yea… and I don't understand how to use smileys

Theodore, you had me at hello, but this made me happy:

The smilie faces are on the right>>>>>>>>>>>
but they aren't there if you use the quick reply option. You have to go to the reply to thread button, or the advanced reply button or something. Once you find 'em it's hard to stop. Even Ig uses 'em occasionally! (It took me a couple of months to convince him, but he does! :H)

As to the somnolence... yeah. That one can be a doozy. I think it's pretty fair to say that getting drunk for an exam, any exam but especially one in Chinese (unless you are Chinese) is not such a good thing. I'm glad you're weighing the options.

That said, you'll have to manage it. There are supps, but I'll let someone else do that.

I used LOTS of coffee and naps. It didn't always work, though. Moving around helps. No yoga needed. (FTR, I was doing that stuff for the most part, didn't really help me.) Moving helps. It waxed and waned for me. I would say go up! Or down! It makes no nevermind, if your eyes are on the goal... You just have to find a way to take it. (If you're able and etc... I can't even pretend to play doc... Biology 101 is in my near future.)

Youth may help. Desperation helps, too, though. Gotta go. I'm nodding off as I write. (not the bac, anymore, just tired.)

WELCOME btw. Glad you decided to jump in!

Hey Theodore, welcome.

Did you pass the exam?

As Ne says, the somnolence sucks. How's your sleep? That makes it much worse, if you aren't getting a decent nights kip in. If you've an office job, or just a sedentary lifestyle, it can be tough to manage. Your best bet is either just give in, and take a nap if you can, or move around. If you can do something, anything, that involves a bit of action, the somnolence will pass for another 20 minutes!

Good luck, and let us know how you get on.

Rudy,

No problem. I am one of those alkies that goes to therapy. I have enough "un"-forgiveness to unravel that does not include you. (I know " may be in the wrong place but whatever :-)
But this is about us and not perfection; we all have issues with that. I have no issues with you from this point forward.

You have a lot to give,

Thanks,
lady:l

theodore, i, too, would love to know if you passed that exam. your story of showing up half-drunk to your exam brought some visceral feelings to mind, if not specific examples. it's hell to be somewhere with alcohol on one's breath where it doesn't belong. sheesh, it's the middle of the day and i wonder if someone is smelling what i know is in my bloodstream... that's a shitty way to wonder. and i'm sure they usually do smell it. ergh. i don't want to be one of those sad cases that pop into people's minds when they think of the sorry state of people who can't control their consumption. many a time i've hidden in the privacy of my home existence to avoid judgement, crashing a car, or simply embarassing myself. i'm thinking baclofen will help me avoid said fate in the future.

on the bac note, as i've posted already, it does seem to be making me tired, too. oh-so-tired. so glad (ha!) i have teenagers at my job to keep me awake. fortunately, unlike some others who post here, my job isn't life-or-death, so i can get away with a little somnolence. and, fortunately, i have tenure, so my heavy-liddedness won't be grounds for dismissal. they'll have to think of something better. not that they could, as i am never half-drunk when i show up to work at 7:30 am, give thanks. i did, however, have a colleague who found herself weaving down the hallways from her on-the-job drinking, spotted on camera and by a small handful of other teachers doing such, and as far as i know the worst consequence for her was a slap on the wrist and some serious embarassment. hmmm. sometimes consequences are kind, though i'd never want to face what she did. i'd DIE of humiliation. i feel lucky that it hasn't come to that.

anyway, just some midnight ramblings here. i don't know what ever came of my text 'wanna fuck?' because i've lost my phone, in case anyone was wondering. it's probably out there in the field somewhere, where i was pulling up fencing that i don't need anymore 'cause i don't have any more goats (to shag, shaved or not).

sweet dreams everyone, and welcome, theodore. good to know i'm not alone, here on a solo saturday night.

Rudy,

A teacher too lazy to use the shift key? New York my ass! You use terms not correct to the Northeast. I gave you a chance, now the game is on you fool.
Run on sentences are funny; I AM sure you are both people in question.
I will be done with this site after you. This is a mockery of those of us that seek help and guidance. Why some of those with power have allowed this is beyond my concsience . There is something questionable going on here or higher powers would have stopped it.

I am not done..
