Well, I am not that much of a beginner, as I am on day 22 @70mgs. Going up to 80 in 3 days. Eleven of those days have been AF but the days I booze , it is 2 bottles of red. Before I started bac, I drank 2 bottles every night and never had a hangover. Last Friday I drank the 2 bottles and woke up with the worst hangover I could ever even imagine. Ugh... I'm pretty sure that took care of my affair with the red. Hopefully.
My side affects have been minimal. Needed to nap the first week or so, then got used to it. My biggest problem is that my whole body aches, kinda like I have the flu. In fact, it took me awhile to realize it was the bac and not the flu. I'm hoping this is the worst but I read others don't get bad side affects until reaching higher doses. What an adventure, we shall see! I desperately want what others here have achieved..... that total indifference to alcohol. I will keep this up until it happens. I work from home, which is a big benefit, but I am raising my 7yr old grandson. He needs me to be fully present. But even without him, I can't take the burden of the booze anymore.
I thank all who have come before me and hope many,many,many will follow. When I have gotten what I'm after, I will teach it like I know it. Promise.

Yo, Yo!

Welcome to the club. You need to find a way out and baclofen is an almost sure-fire way of getting there. Hold your nerve and stay the course and you will reach your destination, my friend.

The S.E.s can be hard for some but they can also be a lot of fun. When I was titrating up, I had this really wild tingly thing going on in my legs when I lay down: a really nice tingling sensation running up and down them. It made sex extra pleasurable. There was a period when I was in the low 100s when I realised I was actually in love with the world: everything I looked at and touched made me feel so alive and in love. It's loads of fun. Then, when I went into the high 100s I had a period of enormous and massive euphoria, like nothing I have experienced before. And then I simply lost the desire to drink. As simple as that: I just no longer craved alcohol. It's a crazy thing but thank the gods for it!

Welcome again. You've done a wonderful thing by starting your baclofen journey.

Yay, yo!

Congratulations! I'm new here too and already I've learned so much and been well guided. I agree with the previous poster--I've had such mental and emotional bliss (90% of the time) with bac. I did have some muscle fatigue and joint pain. It's all worth it as far as I'm concerned.

Keep on,

Yo :welcome:

80mg is when it got interesting for me. Vivid dreams and definitely good all around feeling. I had minimum SE's at 80mg.

It'll be great to raise 7yr old grandson sober! What I wouldn't give to have found bac 23years ago and raise my kids again! But I'm definitely looking forward to being sober for my grandkids!

JKTTP!

Cheers!

I am discovering another side affect I don't really care about. My bladder seems to be 1/3 the size it used to be. What's the deal with that? I have been sleeping 4-5 hrs. straight but last night I was up every hour and during the day it's a constant issue. Anyone else have to pee 24/7?

Lovelife, thanks for the welcome. I have discovered the sexual affects of bac. Does it last?

Knokcarr ~ I am glad to meet another newbie. I am not really new, I have been a lurker for a long time. Tried topamax and stopped drinking for awhile, then tried bac in pill form for a little while until I got scared I couldn't handle the side affects. Then when I read about the liquid and how everyone seemed to be having an easier time with it, I decided to go for it. I am so glad I did.
I have so much optimism about this. I see you are from SW FL. So am I! Wouldn't it be fun if we were from the same area?

Texas Ag, what's the Ag stand for? I am happy to hear you are doing so well with the bac. I can't wait for the day I can say yes to a glass of red, then forget I have it. It will be great to help my little one with homework at night being sober. I have had my grandson for 4 yrs and I was sober for a few months of that. Funny, I raised his dad sober. I didn't become a drunk until my son was around 24 or so.

I totally get the love, peace and happiness feelings a lot of people get. I have it to and feel it more every time I increase the dose.

Onward with this great adventure - yo

Hey Yo. You sound kinda blissed out. Nice. I am on day 9 of bac, only at 30 mg, but feeling pretty good myself. I have not had the bladder issue and have found I am actually sleeping though the night on most nights. As for the sex SE, I have had the opposite. Kinda numb. Oh well. Will keep trying anyway. Not drinking at night leaves lots of time for other things. I am raising two kids (my own) and am enjoying the mornings with them much more since I am not hung over.

As for Tex, I am guessing he is a Texas Aggie? Unfortunate if true.:H Naw, he is cool one no matter.

Yo!
Welcome to posting on the forum!
So glad to hear you're having success with bac this time around.

I found that the pleasant SEs didn't stick around any more than the onerous ones. But boy was that one fun while it lasted. Holy wow. Not only could I relate (for the first time) to 15 year old boys, I felt like I'd just discovered the whole experience. It came and went and came again (ahem). I have fond memories. We both do.

Glad you're here, glad you want to stick around and pay it forward, glad you're raising your grandson!

Oh, lord, sister. I hope you do too. It's all that and more.

I will warn you it's exhausting though! :H
