    Hi Cassander,

    Thanks for that. One of the problems we face here, is that nobody really knows anything conclusively yet. It's very frustrating, but we are slowly adding to our meagre store of knowledge. Some of us through experiments, which don't always end well, and also just through reading a lot of what goes on here, and on other forums. So it's slowly building, and in time we'll have a much better idea of where we are and what we should be doing.

    As to taking baclofen forever - who knows. I'm hoping that a rewiring effect is taking place, and over time, as I get used to drinking much less, this will become the default behavior. If it does, I'll be ecstatic. To maintain my current dose where I am in the world is a costly exercise indeed! The exercise may also play a role. I hope so, because recently I started going to gym for the first time in my life.

    I think my point though, is that should all these other theories amount to nought, I am perfectly happy to continue as I currently am. I never thought that what I am living today would ever have been possible, so I'm just quietly grateful.

      Interesting. I've been on it for a year and my dose now varies from 0- up to 200 mg's depending on mood and risk factors as an anxiety drinker. Virtually no sides aside from some very minor ones at extreme doses. The days I exercize are also the days I don't feel the need to take any bac.

      Although even without exercize and bac, if I was stuck on 300mgs+ for the rest of my life that would have been an infinitely preferable situation to the life of an alcoholic.

        A huge thank you to all that have responded......I believe I have made the decision to try this....it is that or certain death. (hate to sound dramatic) If I don't do something now I will either end up in jail for killing someone on the road or I will die of liver failure, stoke or heart attack.....
        I wish I would have found this site sooner.
        What it the best site to order on line bac?

          Good luck polar. I can't help you on the ordering front, other than to point you at this thread: https://www.mywayout.org/community/f2...ine-35483.html

          Which one is better, I unfortunately have no idea.
