Thought I'd give a quick update here. I've continued with the Bac, drank for 5 days along with binge-eating but now haven't had a drink since 3rd February.
I've undone all the progress I made in all areas of my life last year, in about 2 months. This is a dangerous place since it can trigger thoughts of "I don't care now, I've mucked it up am running out of time to sort this out" anyone who knows me personally will understand specifically what I mean.
Anyway I've been in pain since my fall during a bac/booze mix over 2 weeks ago. I can't do certain abdominal exercises on the floor any more, and getting up from a lying down position or bending at a certain angle causes sharp pain if my pelvis is at a certain angle. Since I fell directly onto the seat of my ass I'm thinking this is a cocyxx injury. I had been hoping to perhaps get back snowboarding this year, but if it is cocyxx then it's too risky because that sort of fall is quite common with that sport.
Anyway off the booze again and back at the start of a long haul, just like I was last year. Seeing my counsellor this week and also seeing the Dr about my back. I'm at around 75mg baclofen per day, split into 3-4 doses. If I take any more I wake feeling spaced out in the morning which isn't conducive to getting out of bed. I had heard many times that the half life of bac is around 4 hours, that it's in and out of your system fairly quickly. My experience is that I can feel it's effects well into the next day if I take a large dose at bedtime, for that reason I'm not taking any in the middle of the night because I don't wish to be 'hungover' in the morning. So I'm starting mine earlier in the day now.
