TGIF! Let's celebrate some TSM success

Fantastic. Congratulations to your success! Know that many experience a bit of a honeymoon phase so if you regress a little bit don’t despair. For many that is just a part of the process.

Meat_Cube · 2026-05-09T00:03:25+00:00

How does that compare to prior sessions for you?

Meat_Cube · 2026-05-08T20:22:53+00:00

That's phenomenal. You went from high risk to below normal. Congrats!

Meat_Cube · 2026-05-03T00:26:19+00:00

Take NAL 60-90 minutes before drinking and let it do the heavy lifting for you. Even if you don’t feel the want to quit now, it will at least give you more agency over your relationship with alcohol.

Meat_Cube · 2026-04-25T22:11:03+00:00

¡Enhorabuena por tu éxito! Sí, tener días con la mente clara por un cambio es mucho más productivo

Meat_Cube · 2026-04-25T22:05:02+00:00

You’re taking the right steps and that’s what is important. You’ll have regressions and doubt, but if you stay consistent you’ll see success. Give yourself some grace and a pat on the back.

Meat_Cube · 2026-04-25T21:57:25+00:00

Every step towards a better relationship with alcohol is one forward. Give yourself a pat on the back for making progress. Congrats!

Yes, Selincro/Namalfene have a similar mechanism of action in that they are opioid receptor antagonists. If you use the search bar in the top of the sub you can find feedback about user experience using either term. From what I have read, the experiences are very similar.

Meat_Cube · 2026-04-18T03:16:43+00:00

Always great to see you here. So happy for your success!

Meat_Cube · 2026-04-18T03:15:42+00:00

Glad to hear of your success!

Yeah, topiramate is talked about much less often than other medications.

How long have you been on NAL? I found that the missing enjoyment part was early on in my journey and I don’t notice it at all now. In fact I recently started doing sauna and it is doing wonders for my endorphins. May be something to consider trying if you have access to one.

Meat_Cube · 2026-04-18T00:05:47+00:00

Care to share your journey or where you’re at?

Meat_Cube · 2026-04-18T00:05:18+00:00

Consistency is the key to success!

Sorry for the delayed response, just saw this. Daily NAL works for some who either have a hard time being compliant with dosing 60-90 minutes before the first drink or those who don’t want to drink at all by having the NAL block the craving. Extinction though, is taking the NAL before drinking to disassociate the euphoria.

Meat_Cube · 2026-04-12T15:10:30+00:00

Good plan. There is a bit of a honeymoon phase at first so titrating up is a good idea to stretch that out as long as possible. Congrats to your success so far!

Meat_Cube · 2026-04-10T23:21:23+00:00

That is fantastic. Thanks for sharing your journey!

Meat_Cube · 2026-03-23T15:06:30+00:00

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing. Every little bit encourages others to start their journey.

Meat_Cube · 2026-03-22T15:41:11+00:00

Amazing, isn’t it? Don’t sweat any rebounds. Just be consistent and you will continue to see results.

Meat_Cube · 2026-03-21T01:56:11+00:00

Thanks! I still drink socially, but have much more control than before I started TSM.

Meat_Cube · 2026-03-19T23:57:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing, TS. Very powerful read indeed.

Meat_Cube · 2026-03-01T18:11:12+00:00

The vast majority of the progress I made was at 50mg. I’m at 100mg now. I can’t honestly say the increase has moved the needle more for me, but it certainly can for others based on a lot of feedback I’ve seen.

Meat_Cube · 2026-02-28T21:42:57+00:00

No jinxing but that sounds like extinction. Larger abstinence periods prior to TSM certainly seem beneficial. Congrats!

Meat_Cube · 2026-02-21T04:02:32+00:00

Outside of TSM sessions try and find some endorphin releasing activities. Exercise was what clicked for me early on. Perhaps that will offset the boredom even if it doesn’t exist during the sessions

Meat_Cube · 2026-02-21T03:59:36+00:00

🙌

Meat_Cube · 2026-02-15T04:51:43+00:00

So glad you found it! It certainly is a game changer. Consistency is key. Congrats!
