Alcohol Units?

Am trying to figure out the unit thing, because my drinks were never "normal" sized. And now I don't have the bottles around to figure out the ounces and alcohol by volume, etc. It was either a BIG bottle of vodka (not a pint, but probably not a gallon either) every three days or a 5-litre box of wine every three days.

Bump & Fresh Start

Hey all -- that Week 2 thread was an old "weekly" thread that gets randomly bumped sometimes. We started this one as a more permanent thread. There's a lot of interesting stuff on here so I thought I'd give it a bump as a place to start fresh.

Best -- lena

Good bump.

When I lurked on the tsm board, I think I found this (mwo) board through searches, and I found the week 2 thread. After devouring the tsm board, I went searching for more elsewhere. I wondered if there was something more recent, but my brief searches didn't turn up much.

I just found this list of studies that support the efficacy of the Sinclair Method:

I found it very startling.

Six Months On Naltrexone

I've been a long time lurker here on MWO. :new:

I started on the Sinclair method 6 months ago, to the day. I got the script from my MD, and followed the method to the letter. Always, I took naltreone 1 hour before drinking.

I am very unhappy to report that I have experienced zero effect.

I started out drinking 10-12 drinks a day, and here I am six months later drinking 10-12 drinks a day. Maybe there are 70 or something studies backing up the Sinclair method, but for me it has been a total failure.
For my last three months on Naltrexone I was taking 100-150mg, yet still I have experienced nothing.

I have an appointment on Wed. with my MD, and I am going to try to get him to write me a script for Baclofen.

I hate to ruin the hope of anyone.

Naltrexone - What to order online in US?

Looking to win the Naltrexone way. When an RX is not possible, who do you order from? And which product? The River is often referenced on this site. If you use them, are you ordering Depade or Vivitro?

Looking forward to becoming a "Sinclair" girl (Hmm, can I say girl when I am a 43 year old SAHM of 2 who drinks too much? And that doesn't help keep you youthful does it?!?!?!)?

Thanks!

Thanks Sinclair Method

I followed the Sinclair Method to the T. I began in September and by Thanksgiving I had completely lost my cravings for alcohol. I took my Naltrexone before drinking at TG again at Christmas and at one other party during this period and I could only tolerate two to three glasses of wine. ( A whole bottle was just warming up for me) I abstained at New Years and I have no plans for a drink again. I began with the hope of getting my drinking under control but now I am sincerely considering abstinance. I still have a bout a dozen tablets left.

I used to drink upwards of 50 units a week. I feel absolutely saved by this treatment and highly recommend it to any one struggling with alcohol. It was so easy. The biggest challange was being patient. As promised it took about three to four months to lose the cravings completely.

Hi everyone. It has been awhile since I last logged on or posted. I have had a really difficult time of it. In particular, the first 3 weeks of Dec. I was so distraught I couldn't look at myself in the mirror. My drinking had spiked to pre Nal levels. I was knee deep in the worst depression of my life. I was thinking about giving up, but realized giving up meant drinking, but without the Nal. So I knew "giving up" wasn't an option. I just lost hope that it would work.
I'm pleased, and surprised as he'll, to say there has been an almost miraculous change in the last 2 weeks. Even my husband is shocked. My drinking is down to 1/3 of what it was, and I go 12-18 hrs w/o a drink, which for me is HUGE. Everyone who ever said "you have to trust the process", thank you. It is a massive leap of faith, and I got so scared for awhile (where was the fear when I was drinking 3 bottles of wine a day w/o Nal??) but I'm amazed. I've lost the support of my family, with the exception of my husband, but I think this has saved my life. Thank you all. Trust the process.

Hi Big Heads!
So happy for you! It's great to see the method works for some of us. Could you tell me how long you were taking Nal before you saw this improvement?
Sadly, it's been six and a half months for me and nothing
So hi Mr Blue, I guess we are in the same boat (sinking, drowning?...)
I've ordered some Baclofen too now to use together with the Nal, even though I think I might as well give up the Nal. After six months plus this seems very strange for me and would definetaly mean defeat.
Arghhh, I want my life back!!!!
