You wanna talk about an addiction? Check tip's post count vs. the number of days since he's joined. It's like 26+!!! That's more than 1 per hour 24/7 every single frickin' day!!! That's counting the hours he's asleep too! And if that's how much he posts, then how much do you think that Chrome-domed Little Saffa reads?

We're on the verge of having an intervention.

Come to think of it... I reckon if we do a word count, it would transpire that NE beats me hands-down

hey you guys, joe and timbo / timpete (et al)! i think i'm neck-in-neck at this point w ne; i can't stop posting. it's like i need to account for my every move, here, if not for posterity or for lurkers or the marvelous friendlies who do post, then for me. i love knowing that i can comb back through my mental churnings and see what i thought and when, and on what dose. and hope for some signs of progress, which i think there are.

to say noting of the beautiful input i get along the way.

as far as addictions go, this mwo is a fuckin fantabulous one! won't hurt you in any way at all, unless, that is, your ego gets involved and you start to wonder why nobody responds. which is an ill-advised approach to this, and doesn't seem like it'll be an issue w you guys anyway!

you gotta do it for yourself, first and foremost, which doesn't come naturally for many of us problem drinkers/users. but try it here.

and if it does wear off, this mwo addiction, we'll all be at a loss. now that i've been here for a few months, i notice people do fade away once they reach indifference, and i can't blame them. but it's nice when folks continue to post post-indifference (shout out to all you seniors who keep coming bac!), as it gives a lot to the community that supported them in reaching that blessed place. and that needs them still. i for one intend to stay here for a while, if you'll have me.

joe, i, too, look forward to my doses. i'm currently at 180 mg and sometimes feel a little sad when iv'e taken my last bit for the day. seems i'm chasing another high, here, but i'm okay w that. yeah, the bac gives me a decided buzz, and i mostly enjoy it as long as i can sneak in a nap. and i mostly (operative word, there) know that it's for a good cause. so i pop those pills and feel good, and gooder about myself as a result.

sometimes in this (bac induced?) waking that i experience in the middle of the night, i take a dose for the coming day (these wakings usu occur post midnight). it's good to know, thanks to you senior posters (bleep especially, bless your heart), that this is a good idea. keep the bac flowing.

thanks (trip?) for the tip about bac's half-life. i shall look into it.

joe, what does f5 do? if you can't tell from my writing, i'm seriously computer-challenged (see some of the other threads -mine?- for an explanation about my lack of capitals), and so the most basic is still new to me. i came into the computer generation a bit late (born in '69, which murph will love).

and what's 'skint'? i get the gist from the context, but i'd still like an offical definition. (also see my thread to enlighten yourself about my own word obsession, if you care to know.)

and, about dreams, i just posted on my thread about a doozer i had last night. sometimes fun stuff, but sometimes uber-terrifying.

no, i'm not exactly trying to generate business on my thread. just trying not to repeat myself, which i have been known to do. oh the crimes i commit!

keep posting fellas! gives me fun to-do when my son takes a rare nap.

So she left me.. I've drunk a bit more than I should, taken a bit more bac than I should but meugh.. what does it matter. Babas gone. Fuck it, fuck conventions and fuck giving a fuck . (i.e, FUCK!)... hmmm.

I'm with you guys on the MWO addiction. I can't get enough! It just feels like this is such a huge turning point in my life, and I'm sure with everyone else who's taking this stuff, and it's sweet to have people relate and go to for advice and whatnot.
And Rudy - I hear ya on sometimes feeling like I'm chasing another high. I think it's just our natural thinking at this point, but I have faith that in time baclofen will remove my thoughts of "oh this feels good, but I should take more to feel even better," and just be content in the moment. Time will tell...

Hey Joe,

I don't know if this info will help you but I am very fortunate to be working with with a close associate of O Ameisen. We started at 15mg a day on Bac and I am increasing at 20 mgs a week. I have had some very difficult SEs including sleeping through two important work days, not sleeping and nausea. My Doc is targeting a two month indifference. Three weeks into the program I have had the first feeling of being comfortable in my own skin since I was maybe six years old. I will try to post my weekly results and feelings as well.

Good luck Joe, and PM me if you have any questions!

Shit for luck Joe. Still, soon you should be sorted, then you'll have a better footing from which to tackle the problem.

weve been chatting a bit on facebook, but eh. It's all the same and its been coming. I dunno what to think or feel. Pretty hammered, and swallowed a few too many Bac willy-nilly.

Ouch. Fuck it then.

Hey Now,

Joe and Tim,

I was going to respond but believe you two need a couple more Baclofen days before I make any sense.

Stay cool and with us!
