Thank you Andy and Katie! I just love all these stories and can relate to so many of them. It's always so much motivation to keep me on the TSM path!

Thank you Andy and Katie for your stories and the information 🙏

Congratulations Andy. So glad to hear your success story. Unfortunately, I am on day 96 and quite frankly have not noticed any change. I am still optimistic, but also fearful that I may be one of the people that fall into the smaller percentage for the Naltrexone numbers.

Good luck on your TSM journey. I felt similar initially thankfully I kept a detailed drinking log. Saw a 10-15% reduction in 1st period. Doesn’t sound much but I celebrated it. Didn’t get black out drunk in 1st 3 months (used to be monthly). Fast forward my drinking is reduced by 80%. I still enjoy drinking with friends on occasions but I now have an “Off” button.

Have you noticed any victories? How does your drink chart look? Do you ever think about stopping where you are at in a session but then kind of force yourself to continue(I did a lot of this)? Have you tried any habit change strategies like alternating water between drinks, taking 5-30 minutes off between drinks, or leaving your drink in the fridge between sips? If you drink liquor, have you tried switching to lower ABV drinks instead because people have a tendency to over-drink on liquor. There is so much you can do to break habits, and build healthier ones, and as Katie often says, "You have to meet the medication halfway."

Thanks Katie - great video - I've been on NAL for 2.5 years (99.9% compliant) - While I'm prety sure I'm in extenction, I am still drinking habitually as much as I ever have. October is my "mindful" month - I hope I can progress.

I ordered my Naltrexone from Oar using your link yesterday. Thank you so much for providing the resource. It was so easy and I’m super excited to start!
