My 9th week of the Sinclair Method

Almost at the end of my 9th week of the Sinclair Method and I've got 10 Naltrexone tablets left so I have booked an appointment with my online GP for a followup.  

I'm more than a little proud of my achievement and my drink log is proof that this science works!

Each day gets better and better for me.  My anxiety and depression are almost non-existent, I'm sleeping better than I have for a long time and I am productive and happy.

The last two weeks were the school holidays for us and it's generally a time of more social activity so there were a few instances where I was distracted and therefore did not drink mindfully however the amounts of alcohol consumed are significantly less than my pre-TSM levels.


Over last two weeks, I have been less interactive with the Options Save Lives forum and realize that a vital part of the journey is to share with fellow AUD sufferers.  

Of course, the science is the most important element of the process thanks to Dr David Sinclair but it's the extraordinarily generous community that the C Three Foundation has created which is empowering and motivating.

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...

One Little Pill is Claudia Christian's courageous story.

This must see documentary, One Little Pill, is another important resource to utilize to gain an understanding of the way alcoholism is cured via pharmacological extinction (the Sinclair Method) and with dignity.   "The extraordinary new documentary One Little Pill is Claudia Christian's moving international crusade to confront the realities of alcoholism with a new treatment that actually works, and is a stunning expose of the current social forces that delay or even obstruct all new advances in medicine. In this intimate visual portrait, Claudia (Christian) courageously reveals her own past struggles with alcohol in order to help others in far worse situations find a new path to living with a disease that affects us all. This beautifully produced documentary takes us from a housewife in Chicago, a research institute in Helsinki Finland, and even the rural villages of India as we are immersed in her (Claudia Christian's) war against a crippling disease and a system t...

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
