    Update from Juan (Baclofen)

    Checking in

    Hey everyone-

    I haven't been around for a while and I really need to catch up on what's going on around here. My smartphone got destroyed last weekend and my internet at the house is sub-par, to say the least.

    Well, I have some good news. It's still early to call it, but I may be indifferent to alcohol. I went camping with some guys from work earlier this week and brought up a twelve pack. I left after two days of camping and I still had 10 beers! I did drink one of them last night, but as I look back at my record of the last six days, I have had either one or nothing at all to drink. Cravings are virtually non-existent, too. I looked at the remaining beer in the fridge a few minutes ago and no thought of consuming any came to my mind.

    The side effects are more prevalent now though and I really hope they will subside. I am at 240mg and have most of the usual suspects along with some moderate bouts of anxiety.

    Hope this finds you well.

      Super cool Juan -Glad to see u bac on trak -MWO.
      Seems we are close to the same mg and possibly started about the same time. I, like you probably, have tried so many different ways to quit or cut down - and now the miracle of BAC. My main nightmare and primary source of anxiety now come from thinking that BAC may all of a sudden stop working -jk -too many folks say that does not happen.

      That dang anxiety creeps in on me every now and then, but not in the same light that it use to. For me, I know that I had severe anxiety before I ever drank and total out of control anxiety after I drank. That level of anxiety is now non-existent. I never expected this great SE as a result of Baclofen and No AL.

      Really good to hear you are doing well. Most all of my BAC side effects are gone (except somny). However, one side effect that is both good and bad is my dreams during sleep. I talking about vivid-in depth dreams. When I wake sometimes, I feel as if I have worked my ass off in my dreams. Are you experiencing anything like this?

        Wolf-

        I do not have the dreams like others talk about. I've only had one that was memorable and it's just to wierd to share, but I can still remember it from a couple of months ago. Nothing since then.

          Juan is indifferent!

          The MWO boat has been rocked! I'm not tripping on it too bad, but it's almost 2am here and that crap is still on my mind a little. I promised that I'd share my switch story, so here it is:

          Thursday evening (day 5 AF for me) my wife and I are expected for a family get-together at her father and step-mother's new place, which is close by. This is the kind of situation that I had not really planned for when I committed to the abstinence challenge thing, but it had been going so well, I just thought, hey I am not going to drink and I can do this! Family functions are usually real tough for me in terms of drinking. If it's at our place, I usually totally over do it in terms of hosting and get drunk in the process. If it's elsewhere I try to contain myself, but I'm pretty fucking miserable and can't wait to get home to take care of business.

          I enjoyed every minute of it! It was super easy to pass on the ice-cold Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA that folks were drinking. That would have killed me before.

          The real kicker was this- we brought three nice bottles of wine over that my wife received as a gift this year. I just sat there contented at the dinner table sipping water and watched them enjoy it. It was fun. I saw how it started to work through them and loosen up the conversations. I thought about how it would have never been enough for me to enjoy, but it was nice for them.

          I was engaged the whole time and I had meaningful conversations with the guests. I even doted on my wife a little bit.

          So it's that simple

          A side note is that I am not exactly cultured. We had stored the wine bottles upright for months before bringing them to the get-together and when we tried to open them the corks got shoved inside the bottles which was awkward. Apparently it is important for the corks to be soaked!

            Congrats, Juan!

            As an aside: I worked in the fancy wine business for a long time (no surprise, right?!) and that stuff happens. Just push 'em in and spoon out the floaters, if it breaks. Not that you need the info now, but just in case it comes up again!

              Cool story Jaun. Congrats on the five days. In some ways it's kind of fun to watch others drink. I watch a few that sit there and touch there booze once every decade. Just damn, there must be something wrong with them -not drinking to get drunk-lol? Then there might be just a few, if any, that chug away the way that I used to -typically, these are rare to see. I guess I never really cared to see who else was drinking like me -guess I assumed most others were following in my steps.

              And I really feel stupid now; corks in the wine bottle? Heck, I don't even know how to properly remove a cork.

              Thanks for your update.

                    I consider having wine in the house for several months to be pretty cultured to start with!

                    Great to hear Juan, and congratulations.

                        If I look at it on the bright side, the good thing about the random spamming we've been experiencing is that we get to see some pretty cool older threads without having to go look for them. I guess I'm becoming a bright side kinda guy...

                            I totally agree, Cass. I've enjoyed seeing and reading the old threads that come up, even if the last parts are full of incomprehensible bs. I only worry because Fred_The_Cat's recent thread got spammed. I hope they don't start frequently attacking recent threads!

                                He did the same for me. A good guy.

                                And, I like your thoughts, Cass, on a silver lining to the spambots dredging up old threads. Nice to find a positive, well done
