This Redhead's Baclofen Thread
I'm on 150 mg a day. I too haven't found indifferance. I can still manage to drink my favorite red wine on a near daily basis. I'm just not drinking upwards of 2 bottles a day. Last night, I could not find any drink that tasted appealing. That's when I started thinking I might need to get creative if I'm going to manage a couple of hours out. Then I got to thinking about the foo drink chicks, and the various options they might have. Mudslide, hell no. But, I was thinking that maybe something fruity might taste good. I also forgot to eat dinner. That usually is a recipe for disaster I would go out drinking, and I usually like it, cause I can catch a quicker buzz. I just couldn't do it last night. All I wanted was a good meal.
Speaking of good mexican food. We yankees have some good mexican food up in these parts too. At least in the metropolitan areas with a high number of hispanics. In the more remote northern towns, I think the only time you will get mexican food (pseudo), is if you make a run for the border (you know the infamous fast food place). I found this joint because I used to like me a good michelada for breakfast, on occasion. The food was an after thought. No more drinking my breakfast, so I haven't had a michelada in a while. :upset: Maybe one of these days, I'll have one with dinner.
I really want to be Ne's sister. But I can't be the wicked witch. She has green skin and hideous yellow teeth. I know that may be me soon, if I don't get control of the smoking. I just never was a heavy smoker until I started bac. Eva. I think there is something going on with that. I hope that I will start to become my old self soon, and even not smoke at all. If not, I will do something about it. Thanks for the nicotine replacement suggestion HS.
I know what you're saying Bleep about having fun. My days of having fun just because I go out drinking are numbered I think. I'm not saying, I won't have fun going out, and having a couple of drinks, it's just not going to be the center of everything. Which is why I think I'm on this forum and the bac journey.
The inner rockstar is still there.
I'm just trying to channel that energy in more positive ways.
Part of the reason I think I wasn't having fun last night, is my alkie friend (you know the one I wrote about before?), was texting me that he is in big, big trouble. He got yet another DUI, on Friday night, and 3 felony charges. A resisting arrest and two assaulting police officer charges. He had just posted bail to get out the next day. I was like what? Why would you assault cops? He said, he was in a complete black out and he doesn't even remember it. I'm just appalled.
He told me he's going to try to go to rehab. I texted him that he has no insurance (got fired for drinking), so how is he going to afford rehab? He then texted that he's going back to AA too. I guess some of this will no longer be a choice because now he's in the legal system. I would assume he will do some good jail time with 3 felony charges and another DUI. I can't even write how many he's had, it's too disturbing. I am hesitant to recommend bac again, at this point. If he does take it, he will have to titrate off when he goes to jail. So, my friend who used to be a bright man, with tons of potential, is now a low level drunk.
