It's been 8 to 16 beers/day since Dec.21, 06. A few tries to stop and never got more than 36 hours free from the beer.
Been this way since 1990. Two or three months of daily drinking; then two or three months sober. Twice over these years I quit drinking for a year to the day, once from June 1, 1995 to June 1, 1996 and then again from January 1, 1997 to January 1, 1998.
Now all this time I've taken Thiamine 100MG every four beers.
When I became a professional drunk in 1990, I researched the best I could to minimize the damage.
Now I'm 58 and scared to go forward with Nardil. Hate the thought of sickness the first day after only 12 hours free of beer. But this drinking can't go on I'm so depressed. I stopped Prozac on December 1, 2006. I'm guessing that's why I'm finding it hard to get the 72 hours sober.
All these years I've never vomited from drinking. Once I drank 30 beers, and the next day quit for 5 days. The hangovers are mild.
I'm just throwing in everything I can think of that anyone might notice, and offer advise for.
I'm desperate to start Nardil on Sunday after only 12 hours after my last beer. But scared.
