The results of one amazing week on the Sinclair Method!

I'm too delighted with the downward slope on my one week drink graph not to share it!

I've dropped from 49 drinks to 8.

Aside from the internal health benefits, I'm feeling happier and sleeping better too.

Thank goodness for the Sinclair Method and Naltrexone.

My Naltrexone honeymoon.

Reading around the C Three Foundation forum " Options Save Lives " has made me realise that I am not actually an "early responder" but I am in the honeymoon phase. From what I can understand, in the early stages the Naltrexone has the upper hand but after a couple of weeks, the brain will fight back wanting its fix and that's when I may see an increase in the cravings. I'm going to ride with it. Until then, I'll continue as I have been and won't force an alcohol free day because there's really no point until I experience the "fight for the fix". Then I'll know what I'm in for! Here is information from C3 regarding the Honeymoon phase... "It's like the term 'Quick Responders' or 'Early Responders'. This is something that we at C3 are working on clarifying for people. We have seen people on this forum notice an immediate reduction and call themselves a quick/early responder, without realising tha...

Overdrinking and desperately looking for a solution to reduce my intake.

By mid-July 2017 I had to be honest with myself. I had a problem with alcohol. It was hard to link the words "problem with alcohol" with how I presented myself to society. I'm a respectable person - a successful small business owner, designer, mother, wife, somewhat of a high-achiever, always on the go, creative, stylish, well presented. How did this happen to me? What caused me to start hiding the amount I drank (from my husband), waiting for him to leave the room so I could sneak another drink without him knowing. Why did I clock watch for 5.30pm to come around so I could pour a drink? And get agitated if I couldn't have one at the regular time. Was I alone in this? In thinking about my friendships, I suspected not but no one ever talks about problems with alcohol. It's a secret shame and one that I have lived with for at least 10 years. I turned 50 in March and organised an 80's themed party for myself - complete with a DJ, drinks wai...

The Cure For Alcoholism by Dr Roy Eskapa.

I started reading, Dr Roy Eskapa's "The Cure For Alcoholism" last night. It's beautifully written science with a touch of humour. To understand the history behind the Sinclair Method, the hurdles, the breakthroughs is empowering. I realized with great concern that i f it wasn't for a fortunate chain of events, we wouldn't today be reaping the benefits of TSM. I am even more determined to make this work for me. I am immensely grateful for the sacrifices made by the late Dr David Sinclair, Dr Roy Eskapa, Ms Claudia Christian and everyone involved in the arduous process of bringing TSM to the notice of the medical profession.
