I had been taking NAL for 2 years - initially starting every day and then doing the TSM with some level of success. I'm what you would call a daily drinker and NAL helped keep me from binging. I still had problems drinking every day but NAL helped keep the numbers down. Every once in a while I would skip a day of drinking but that was rare.

One day I decided to go abstinent for a while and have now not had a drink for 3 months (which is incredible and is due to NAL). I also haven't had NAL for 3 months.

I'm going to a function where I'm likely to have a drink and plan on taking NAL.

My question is whether those of you who have taken NAL after a long period of abstinence had any side effects?

Also abstinence was never my goal but Id rather be abstinent than slipping back into a daily habit so would it be better to just continue to avoid drinking or will I be able to find a new normal of a glass of wine or beer once or twice a month on select situations.

For those of you who are successful at abstinence for extended periods through TSM, do you still sometimes take NAL and not drink?

Or do you just not drink and not take any NAL - totally medication free.

I don't know whether my insomnia is from alcohol withdrawal or nal or both.

How long did insomnia last for you and did you do anything special to overcome it?

Lifepro has two one person saunas that are identical in spec. One is the $2K lifepro that's been reviewed by Matt Justice and has a higher emf than the Rocky Mountain, Heavenly Heat, etc

Lifepro also has a $2.6K low emf model with identical specs. Has anyone measured the ultra low emf model for comparison with both the Lifepro and the $5K models?

Does anyone else want a remote button that can control the glasses to take photos or videos without bringing your hand up to the glasses?

I was planning to hire a handyman to install a new shutoff valve and remove/cap the lines of an abandoned sink inside a wall when I consulted contractor Google who told me I should use a licensed plumber due to code and insurance reasons.

I thought it was a straightforward job but now I'm concerned.

I need the handyman for everything else (cabinet removal, sheetrock repair and painting) so does this mean I have to go through coordinating the two trades - demo, plumber, then patch?

Also if you feel a handyman should do this - then would you have a concern that shark bites are only warrantied for 25 years vs soldering coper...

As a customer, Ive always wondered why not just quote time and materials for small projects vs a fixed price with a time estimate.

That way if you encounter a problem - then you are paid for. Or in my case - even if there is scope creep.

I usually ask for that and indeed usually prefer it before someone comes over to take a look assuming I have appropriate photos. I've been a bit surprised at the resistance.

I'm talking about jobs that usually take 1/2 a day or a whole day although I've done it with paint jobs that are multiple days.
