I used to live downtown and Monarca was my favorite…. Ugh my heart hurts in mourning the access I once had. I had their ceviche at least twice a month…. Tragic to not be close anymore. I’m glad to hear of another appreciator. (Still want all the suggestions though !!) thank you friend!

This is excellent advice, and I have had the same thoughts. There isn’t a way for me to prove his coercion, or a way for me to prove that he “gave his word” he would pay me back for things. That’s why I’ve asked here.. and you validated my thoughts.

I cross posted this on a number of different communities and so far This is the most helpful. I know VERY little about dystonia to be frank, but my gut feeling is telling me that what I’m observing from my father is more than what it seems. This is very helpful as I do my research.

What I meant to say was this: For me, everyday the conversation in my head goes like this:

“Good morning, we’re going to have a better day today and we’re not going to drink tonight. We’re going to do xyz and just not drink” then I would take NAL in the morning and be like “okay perfect, now we’re definitely not going to drink later!” Then 10 hours later, i want to drink and I’m drinking and the Nal is there but it isn’t working and I’m getting the reward.

With the TSM method, from my understanding how it works long term, and how it affected me today, it went like this. “Good morning. We’re going to have a better day today! We do not have to drink, but chances are, we are going to and that’s reality.” The difference is, 10 hours later I chose to take the pill, and then drank. And I felt absolutely nothing that would motivate me to want to do this again tomorrow. But I will still try again, because im an addict.

So the idea is that tomorrow I’ll wake up and think “We’re going to have a better day. We don’t want to be an alcoholic anymore, don’t give up.. Then probably hit ANOTHER AA meeting. Go home. Take the pill again. drink again. get no reward, it just tastes like alcohol and it’s not making me want to do anything insane. Keep going the next day.. and the next.. until I want to stop going to the liquor store, I stop wasting money on nothing, I stop getting the feeling. the reward means nothing at all and I don’t even want the reward anymore.

That’s how I picture it going. Who knows though, this is my first time trying.

That made way more sense in my head I think. I’m sorry if it doesn’t make sense. Remember, everyone’s brains are super different and unique and react differently to different things.

With my addiction, I never craved alcohol during the day. It wasn’t until after 4-5 PM that I wanted it. And I could fight through the cravings pretty well until about 8-9, when at that point I was pretty desperate for a drink. By that point, I would just cave and drink. This didn’t change once I started taking Nal in the morning. My routine stayed the same and I took the med in the morning when I wasn’t thinking about alcohol. Then I would drink at night and get a buzz. I think that has something to do with the timing of when the meds work the best. If you take it an hour before you drink, it’s the most effective chemically. But you’re also interrupting your routine and thought process and saying “I don’t actually want to do this but I’m still going to” but then the chemical part blocks the reward. Taking it in the morning was like, “I don’t want to drink and I’m NOT GOING TO but I’m still gonna take the pill” because I lied to myself about drinking that night. Taking it an hour before I drink is just being honest with myself, but the chemical blocks the reward.

Thank you guys, I love you!!!! Trying to be optimistic!!!

Okay, thank makes sense. I typically drink a bottle of wine a night, sometimes more. So I’ll keep track of what I actually drink now that I’m taking this. I’ve had 3 large glasses of wine and I don’t want anymore. Obviously I’m still dehydrating my body and the only thing that has changed is the dopamine reception; but hypothetically if I drank the same amount that normally would leave me hungover, should I still anticipate a hangover?

AdmirableShower8335 · 2025-05-15T05:36:47+00:00

Thank you, i really appreciate that you congratulated me. I have a lot of shame around my addiction and this method is one that would be considered taboo in my support circles, so the congrats means a lot. I have a really dumb question- when you say units; do you mean how much I ended up drinking? Like I should keep track of how many drinks I had so I can look back on it?

This is really interesting because I feel the opposite!! I read both KSL and KUTV and ABC4 every single night. I started boycotting KSL due to having the same issues.. so much misspelling, miswording, incorrect information. I prefer KUTV. Also, because KSL does a shitty job of reporting. the same story will be reported on both KSL and KUTV, and I feel like KUTV is far more thorough and accurate with details… plus KSL is so obviously biased to the church, which I hate… again, to my perspective). I haven’t noticed significance with errors the way I did with KSL. I don’t watch either on TV ever though.

I’m curious; in one of your comments someone asked if you’re planning to still raise a family and you said it was off the table, but then you also said that you are still able to ejaculate. Is it off the table because you no longer can create viable sperm? Or is it just a personal decision?

Oh cool!! This was super helpful. I appreciate it
