Is this extinction?
Post Body

Hi all, been using Nal at 25-30mg (half and a bit) for about two years (wicked nausea, even with meds). I haven’t touched a drink in nearly three weeks, and before that it was down to about once every three weeks. The last few times I drank it was just ‘different.’ Not exactly bad, but no more enticing than a glass of Diet Coke. Just nothing really. I’m now not just not drinking but not really feeling like it, at all.

I’m a huge binger, so extended periods between binges is unusual but not rare, but the gaps have been getting much longer and my consumption is down to a glass or two. Fully aware I could keep drinking I just don’t, and not sure why I started.

I just don’t feel anything about alcohol. I’ve got heaps of Nal and know I can just take one and do whatever I want, I just can’t do the talk in my head to get to the glass anymore.

Nal has absolutely smashed my addiction at its most extreme end but it feels like it’s just totally extinguished my appetite for drink completely.

I get extinction is a process, but is that generally what the term means?
