Tip: Quench your thirst with water first...

My second full dose of Naltrexone was taken at around 4.30pm.  No side effects.  The easing in on 1/2 doses really does work!

Poured a drink at 5.45pm. Sat at the table by myself while my family were watching tv. Did mindful drinking. Sip. Glass down on table. Sip. Taking my time and thinking about the lack of effect.

I'm loving mindful drinking. At one point, I needed to go to another part of the house to do something and didn't think twice about leaving my drink behind.

Also, I have to suspect that when I previously guzzled the first drink, I was in fact quenching my thirst. Now, I make sure I have a big glass of water beforehand.

Tip: Quench the thirst before mindful drinking.


Gotta say... the TSM (Sinclair Method) is magic! I still feel the tiddly feeling but the urge for more has gone. I'm even wondering if I actually like the taste of scotch and soda. ...it's not that exciting.

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.
