eight days' intro and Bac and Nal (Sinclair Method) progress

[eight days a week]

Hmmm, drinking 20+ UK units a day, 8mg diazepam, managed 35mg of Bac yesterday (took my Nal of course, that's a given).

I don't think I've been eating enough the last few days.

Not sure if that's connected but at the end of my drinking yesterday I woke up on the floor - I must have fallen off my chair. This kind of thing never happens to me at these kinds of alcohol levels, so I can only blame it on the Bac + booze + benzo mix. Not good. I feel stuck where I am right now though and don't know how to get out from here.

Hi Eight,
I just sent you a pm before reading this last post. I hope you are feeling better and be thankful you did not break any bones. Today is a new day.

Glad I found your thread. Sound like you are on one heck of a mix. glad your under and MD's care with it all.

Waking up on the floor eh? That use to be a common thing for me...could be the kitchen floor..the home office floor..the front porch or the dreaded lawn with the neighbors waking me at 6am walking their dogs.then I would wake up scratch my head like how the hell did I end up here ?..hmm well it really doesnt matter...damn I need a drink to rid the fog and fuzzies.

It can only get better my friend

Thank you so much my friends

crown, I have been drunk like that before, oh my goodness, plenty of times!! - but the Bac + diazepam + booze combination seems absolutely lethal. The lack of proper eating may be a biggish factor, but I've raely felt as spaced out as I did last night - and this stuff is meant to be helping me!!

Oh well, things aren't so bad today, and tomorrow is yet another day. Life goes on

Oh aren't you Yanks charming hehe!

Just joking - I have many real-life North American friends (as well as online now) and I love their directness and 'can-do' attitude. I have no doubt lots of them would fly right over if they knew I wasn't eating properly!

Yesterday:

30mg Bac
8mg diazepam
About 20 UK units of alcohol
Food: 3 packets of crisps (chips for my North American buddies)

I was going to cook, but then fell asleep. When I woke up the only other person who lives here was off to bed. I didn't want to cook and risk falling asleep again with the oven on, for what would have been overnight, so I just had another packet of crisps :(

Of course I had my Nal - I will do that anytime I drink for the rest of my life I think.

Hi Eight, decided to log into this forum (was on the TSM board) and good to find old friends (and Virgil - waving :-)

Good to hear how you are doing. You are right you really do need to eat more. I find AL on an empty stomach a lot more potent than AL on top of a full meal.

I really don't know where I am right now.


You take care, and keep in touch

Hello dear friend, how lovely to see you here!

I'm sorry you feel a bit lost right now, please keep us posted and always up-to-date, ok?

I've eaten more today than yesterday, got to do the same tomorrow too!

hey Eight days a week
WHen you say 8mg diazepam,do you mean valium? I have 10mg pills. Wondering have you tried lorzapam? Faster acting and does not last as long. Works great for those Panic attacks that I would rather shoot myself than have one(not really going to shoot myself!) I just find them sooo unpleasant. My brain is my worst enemy.

Thank you my friend. Yes, diazepam is valium. That other stuff sounds great for panic attacks, but diazepam is all my GP will prescribe, but I will at least mention it to him (when I can finally get hold of him - having a lot of trouble with that right now!)

I find benzos very unpleasant too, in fact I hate them. Our brains, eh? Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em!!
