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.

No longer alcohol dependant thanks to Naltrexone and the Sinclair Method.

Fourteen weeks ago I started on a journey to cure myself of alcohol dependency via a little known at home treatment using Naltrexone in conjunction with the Sinclair Method. When I say little known, that is to say it's little known in Australia but not in Finland where upwards of 77,000 Fins have been cured of alcoholism using the same method. It's a safe and inexpensive treatment done in the privacy of your own home with many added bonusses... Dignity is restored, shame is removed, the symptoms of depression and anxiety lift within a relatively short period. The short explanation of how the Sinclair Method works is NALTREXONE + DRINK = CURE but before you dive blindly into that there is more you need to be aware of. Online support is invaluable. You'll be warmly welcomed and greatly helped at Options Save Lives forum which is moderated by C Three Foundation. Online education is imperative.

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 waiter, che

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
