Things are looking up.

My life is improving and it feels good to be out of the pull of alcohol and protected by Naltrexone.

One glass of wine last night - cheap Sauvignon Blanc (left over from the afternoon tea party) and it was absolutely AWFUL. (Sincere apologies to any SauvBlanc lovers - I'm a chardonnay girl.)

My child is wanting to do more with me of late and asked if he could help with cooking dinner - Beef Stroganoff.  I was very surprised! but he happily stirred while I added ingredients and we chatted.  He also wanted to read to me at bedtime. It melts my heart and I am grateful that the "old drunk short-tempered dragon" has left the house because I want the remains of his childhood to be spent with love, kindness and patience. I never meant to be unkind or impatient or unloveable but 10 plus years of AUD did that to me. I'm finding that I am now able to laugh out loud where previously I was suspicious of a joke.

I do hope that Claudia realizes how terribly important her role is in changing people's lives and I wish I could share with her how utterly grateful I am. My dignity is being restored and my heart is full of love and compassion.

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...

It's easy to stay compliant with the Sinclair Method.

Yesterday my pill holder arrived from C Three Foundation in America.  I excitedly put it onto my set of keys. Inside it I placed a Naltrexone tablet.  The pill holder is lightweight and is a discreet size and the printing "cthreefoundation.org" is a tiny reminder that help, support and information is never far away.   There is room inside for two Naltrexone tablets and the silicone rubber seal is designed to keep the medication fresh. For more information about the Sinclair Method and Naltrexone, take a look at C Three Foundation's website at www.cthreefoundation.org

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.
