    So I got a pretty sweet job, good pay, full time, and best of all I won't be working with the general public. Bad news is I'll be waking up at 5 am. The horror...the horror...
    Pretty nice post-script. Congrats.

      congrats on the job, pete. now taking bac will not be the only productive thing that you do!

      a little bit in your analogy ('our muscles do get stronger') lit a bulb in my noggin, so thank you for that. maybe a reason some of our bodies are tightening up on bac -besides the obvious not-drinking- is because our muscles have to work so much harder than they used to, just to function, due to high doses of a muscle relaxant swimming around in us. we're not 'weighted down as much as time progresses' because (besides the obvious no-drinky) our muscles have worked overtime to get really strong to pedal us along. maybe.

      bruun's hotel is getting awful quiet. the hot guys have mostly gone, so you'd better get over there to replenish supply. (forget about my thread; only thing there is either a gmail link that goes nowhere except for when i click on it, or some washing instruments. no campfire, definitely no hot dudes. oh, but wait, you could be the first! and that reminds me, i've left some useful information just for you.)

      (in fact, could you please try that link and tell me if it works. nobody other than red has given me any indication that they've even seen it, and i like to get to the bottom of things.)

        ...oh, but other than that muscle theory i extrapolated, great analogy! i think that if we don't drink while titrating up, we reach a lower switch dose. (but if it were that easy...)

        i'm going down, too. to 120. good luck keeping your full hit points.

          Thanks everyone. Rudy that's a great interpretation of the muscle thing. What I was thinking when I said our muscles get stronger and we're not weighed down as much was that the somnolence eases up, and we're not tired as much. Although for some of us our muscles do get bigger

            Hello all! I was also successful with baclofen but I believe it's unwise to titrate down too far below your switch point. If you must trying doing so, you really should go very slowly. Just 10mg at a time. IMHO.

              Bruun, I've been thinking, and you're absolutely right. I mean, when your old, wrinkly, smelly, half blind and deaf English sheepdog who started to constantly do that thing where he drags his ass all around the carpet leaving skidmarks FINALLY takes the hint and goes to doggy heaven, what do you do?

              That's right, you replace that worthless mutt with a younger, infinitely sexier, genetically superior American rottweiler.

              Besides, that old English dog was starting to embarrass you. He had stopped fancying lady dogs (even though he was neutered at birth) and started to prefer getting loved up by large male Saint Bernards. NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT. But when your conservative-value parents spend a week at your place for the holidays and catch Old Sparky blissfully getting taken up the exhaust pipe by their tiny male poodle named Tickles, they start to question where he picked up that behavior. Suddenly they don't want their grandsons going on that Cub Scouts retreat in the woods. They scan every offhanded remark you make for homosexual undertones. Cucumbers and baby carrots are no longer allowed in the house when they're around. And you have a feeling that even MENTIONING the name "Ricky Martin" will make them never speak to you again.

              Yes, it was for the best that Old Sparky got blindsided by that dumb annoying milktruck. Why are there still milktrucks in this day and age, anyways? Go away milktruck. Bow wow wow yippie-o yippie-ay

                  pete, i wasn't quite sure how i'd respond to the latest posts, but i've come up with these: i liked your 'armour [sic]'; and here's a fine, fine ricky martin song, sung live in duet with the lovely la mari, from chambao, one of my favorites:

                    Couldn't agree more Pete, the old dog had his day; it was a blessing when the old fart finally retired to the farm. One thing that does concern me about your post was:

                    You find Rottweilers sexy? Pete you're really not meant to look at dogs in that way. No dog should seem sexy to you. Hmmm, it would explain why you sent me this pic





                    and asked what I thought of your new "girlfriend". I assumed you were joking, but now I understand.

                    Pete we all love dogs but I think you've let your emotions run away. Dog-humping is wrong Pete. It's just plain wrong.

                              Hi All!

                              Good to see you Ne and Brenda!
                              Yes, fell off the wagon, let it run over me and drag me for awhile, but held on for dear life. I had to get some days back to back in order to get my head straight.
                              All is well. I see Pete is keeping the crowd grinning. Not as funny as Murph, but still a grin surpasses a scowl any day.:l
                              Very nice weather here today; it is sunny, cool, and a high of 60.
                              Has anybody noticed that when we quit drinking we not only go for sweets but love to go shopping as well?

                              Happy day everyone,

                                Brenda, I sent you that picture expecting a certain amount of privacy. Murphy warned me about you. He said you would constantly post back in the day about your terrible yeast infections and STDs, and you went into horrible gruesome detail that no one appreciated. Very un-ladylike behavior, he says. He also mentioned that tragic accident when you were in your teens that resulted in your spinal cord looking like a question mark. You seem to have had a miserable life. I'm sorry for all that, and you're a strong woman. :l
