Todays the day for me and bac

I had a very strange experience today, that has never happened before. I havent been taking bac for about a week I think and am still AF, I had to go to my local shop to get some bits and this shop it called Bargain Booze no prizes for guessing what they sell most of, anyway I have been there 100's of times in the past (talk about stating the obvious). But when I have been there while AF I had either ended up buying a bottle, not bought a bottle but struggled to make that decision of not thought of the drink or ignored it. Today tho I was getting served when I noticed a bottle of Sambuka in a set with little glasses and I thought how nice it looked, my eyes then started scanning the rows of colourful shiny bottles and thinking how attractive they looked and how nice they would taste, the next thing I knew I was wanting to sit in a wine bar or garden or some such sociable place and drink from these lovely bottles, I totally freaked, grabbed my bag of crisps, tobacco and toilet rolls and ran out of the shop without my change (it was only 1penny so I wont loose to much sleep over it).
I cannot remember ever thinking this way about AL, I had no thoughts of the effect, to my knowledge I was not stressed, I had not socialised with AL for many years my attitude to AL for a long time has been that it gets me to where I want/need to be and it doesnt matter what it tastes like its the effect I want. Not sure what the hell happened to make me think like this, but it occurred to me what the indifference you all talk about is, and how wonderful it must be for you to have it.

Behold the power of marketing! The booze guys spend a lot of money on researching and packaging their products to elicit exactly the response you are talking about. Perhaps it was that? Well done on overriding your response.

What Happens Past 72 Hours??

Sorry to hear you have had a rough go of it. Do you think it was entirely that you went up to quickly? Perhaps a more gentle approach is required next time From the sounds of it, you were pretty close to the goal, if not there, so it will be interesting to see if the effect last on past the baclofen.

On another note, just stopping can be risky, so if you feel at all odd, I would definitely take a little baclofen. The danger period seems to about 72 hours after last taking baclofen, so be aware of that. Perhaps you already past it, in which case no worries.

Best of luck with your new methods, I hope you find success!

Hey Bleep,

What happens past 72 hours? Are there any particular withdrawal symptoms you are speaking of?

It's quite a nasty withdrawal, from what I've read. I'll try and dig up some threads when I have a bit more time. If you google "baclofen withdrawal" I'm sure something will come up in the meantime.

Probably because I wasnt taking the bac for long I dont think I had withdrawal it just felt like a lessening of the SE's over a few days.
The point I was trying to make about the shop experience was that I have not felt like that about AL for many years, the whole AL is consumer goods and looking around at it checking out all the bottles is just something I would never do. I know what I drink, or rather drank and that was that, it never looked desierable to me but nessesary medication. Im probably not explaining this right.
