I'd forgotten about the drink tracker, tried it once but didn't get on with it. I found writing it down the side of diary easier for me.

well it looks like I will get to new years eve without drinking so that will be almost a week af which is what im aiming for at the moment. tomorrow I have an hospital appointment for an injection in my back for disc/erve pain. ive been waiting for this for ages so there is no way im gonna risk missing it by drinking so I reckon im safe today. I will be spending today cleaning. for some reason I like to go into the new year with a clean....ish tidy...ish house, shame I don't do the same for my body/head. still debating if I want to drink on new years eve. the fact im thinking about it means I more than likely will. im fine with this as I will be taking my nal in good time for it to work. it would be great if I can have a pleasant night out with no crying or craziness. although im not having great success at the moment im feeling pretty confident that if I continue with nal and being disciplined I will get to a place I am happy with.

Hi everyone! I tried a drink tracker once t0o but i'm not all that bright and could not get it to "go" so gave up. :H:H

I plan to pour a glass each night including New Year's Eve but don't know if I'll drink it. First baclofen dose this morning so I'll see how it makes me feel. Second dose in a few minutes - I'm on my way!!

Good luck with each one's plans, whatever they are. Stay safe everyone. :h

ouch, I had a crazy mad urge to drink today... so.... I went and had a long long soak in the bath reading a self help book... and it passed. I can ride through the cravings if I really put my mind to it... its getting to the place in my head where I can do that.

:rays:I'm done pouting of sorts...

Spud- you are right we are partners in crime... :l we have been talking about our journey since the beginning of this thread... Silly to run away now. I obviously have some complicated parts to me that I am working out. So I need to stay here and work those out. The things that make me insecure as a person are probably the same things that feed my addiction. I just love talking to you about daily progress with Nal & seeing where you are. Thanks for always just being there. Super great job on all your AF days:wave:

Your friend6116- thank you for chiming in and giving a boost.. Would love to hear where you are with your journey. Made me feel really good:h:heart:

I have been drinking daily which I had hoped not to fall back in to the habit of. I planned to take 5 days off but only made 1. Haven't been "snot slinging" drunk per say... But the night before last I drank to much to where I wasn't happy with myself. My friend asked if I would host a birthday party tomorrow because our house has a few more amenities and I of course said yes.
Mr. BK specially asked me not to get drunk and I told him I really didn't want to because it makes me feel bad about myself. I just fecking wish I would not want to drink at all.
Period. I guess that is what we all want. Drank tonight but not drunk drinking just drinking. I sometimes drink then go to tea.. Something I never did before.. Progress:kudos:
My plan was to get thru the holidays then take Jan. off- I want to try a 31 dayAF... Stint. I think I can do it.

I know im tending to ramble on about myself and my stuff but I guess that's what im needing to do at the moment. tell you what if you start a bkyogagurl thread I will be jumping in headfirst. cant get rid of me that easily. I know how you feel, ive felt the same myself at times posting my little bit and feeling invisible (I hibernated for a while because of it and my feathers went all scruffy and dull) I have realized that time differences can make a difference on posts and especially at this time of year our daily routines are all tits up. please keep posting, if not here then somewhere else. you are my partner in crime with this nal business, and helping me keep going (hope im doing a bit of the same for you)

This is my thread and I am planning to stay right here. Thanks for reminding me Spud- you have never offended me and absolutely love your ramblings it make me feel like I can do the same and be myself. I guess I am working all sorts of things out.. Thanks for relating to me.
I have to say it cracks me up when you talk about being tits up... Good way to describe being f*cked up.:H

wehey, good to see you back bkyoga, thought you were going awol (absent without leave). I cant believe you agreed to hosting birthday party.... that would be a nightmare to me. hosting anything sends me into a panic, until I have a drink of course and I turn into a wonderful hostess (ha ha so I think). I actually think you are doing really well, ok you are drinking every day but you are taking nal and amazingly stopping and drinking tea.... ive not yet managed that (though I have thought of it which for me is progress).
I may be a bit quiet today/tomorrow. I am off to hospital this afternoon for an injection procedure for my pig awful back. and knowing hospitals I could be a long time. im almost certain I am going out tonight (drinking), I will be taking my nal IN PLENTY OF TIME FOR IT TO WORK ITS MAGIC. depending on how the evening goes I may be holed up under the duvet tomorrow. I hope I wont be but im prepared for the chance.
im not even going to attempt an al free January, I did that last year and failed miserably so im just going with the one day at a time thinking and the take the bloody pill if you do drink thinking.
and for bkyoga.... tits up tits up tits up tits up (that's just to make you smile)

Starting back next month. Had great success in 2012 and hope to get it back. I tried baclofen earlier this summer but was ready to jump out a window;-)

Happy New Year to all here. I feel so blessed that I can come and read all your stories and see how hard everyone is working for their goals. It is great to have a new year to look forward.

Thanks j's mum. Hope it works out for you. I can't wait to get back at it. Getting paid monthly is something I'll never get used to

Hi Thomas good to see you here, a bloke on the thread.

I've just seen on another thread (and tell me off if I'm being nosy or inappropriate), that you are a benzo user. Are you aware use of benzos is thought to reduce the effectiveness of TSM?There's some stuff about it, posted I think by a medical Dr on the Sinclair forum. Perhaps you already are aware and have a plan?

Its been a long break UK. 2012 was a good one with TSM doing its thing. Cue 2013 and the nightmare that was Baclofen. Everything went to s**t. Drinking became uncontrollable along with other bad habits.

Gonna order some Nal from Goldpharma in January and have no reason not to think I can't get get back to where I was.

Happy new year to all of you. I'll have a beer and think about you all;-)
