Thank you for this. Though I do have some AF days I do not have a lot of desire to stop drinking completely. I have been on TSM for 10 months. It has controlled my drinking though to 1 to 2 a day. So happy. I always overdrank before. NAL is wonderful.
This was perfect timing for me. I think I'm psychologically attached to alcohol as well as dependant/addicted. My first sip of a beer (without it even having a chance to give me a buzz) is heaven! Its like my body says: Oh!! Thank you!! Just knowing what's coming next......Ive been dreading I was part of the 20% who Naltrexone doesn't work for. (of course) But Jason has given me hope that I can get my alcohol level to a respectable level and still feel happy about my progress. I've only been on the TSM a month. It doesn't help that most people in my social group think Abstinence is the only way. My Doctor and also my Psychologist had not heard of the Sinclair Method and I think they are sceptical. I'm in Australia. Thank you Katie!
Hey mate, I'm also in Australia, and this interview has given me fresh hope. I started on NAL in January 2023. But for six months I thought I could just continue drinking as usual, and the NAL would overtime do the rest. I didn't realise, you have to help the medication along, by attempting to change your drinking habits. So I stopped taking it for about 2 months. But I'm back on it now, and following the habits the TSM advises us to do. Fingers crossed I can eventually get to a few grog free nights a week. I wish you all the best on your journey. 👍
Parabéns pela conquista e TB a Jane.Sou brasileira estou pesquisando muito o tsm.Meu pai tem 77 anos e está internado numa fazenda de recuperação.Ele terá que ficar lá até morrer pq aqui no Brasil só existe um médico que domina o tsm mas o preço do tratamento com ele e uma fortuna para os padrões brasileiros e meus irmãos não acreditam em querem pagar para tentar o método.Esfou destruída de ver meu pai nesta situação.Aqui no Brasil se bebe muito,alguns crucruzado comcocaina e crack,e marirruana.Aqui não tem heróina,se existe e raro.Gostaria de saber sobre se está sendo estudado para dependência de cocaína,crack,jogos e outros comportamentos como diz no livro do Dr Roy escapa.Obrigada .
Acho que está entrevista foi o melhor resultado do tsm,pois compreendo que a maioria das pessoas não estão preparadas para uma abstinência total por vários motivos.A própria sociedade convida ao álcool,problemas ,traumas vividos,depressão .Ótima entrevista !!!
Thank you for this. I got a lot out of this interview. Everyone's issue with alcohol is not the same and sometimes when you see people who drink way less than you it makes you feel like you can't relate. But when I hear stories of people who were drinking on the heavy side and they were able to show major improvements it really is inspiring for me, as someone who is in that category. I found this to be a very real and honest take. Good luck to you
the hardest part for me was waiting that 1-2 hrs before drinking after taking the pill. Often I couldnt wait it out, Eventually I would wake myself up to take a pill.
Hi! We offer zoom meeting throughout the week inside our program that are facilitated by TSM coaches. I’ll leave a link for you here. www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/the-alcohol-freedom-program there are also volunteer led meetings you can find here tsmmeetups.com
Less than a week on Naltrexone I've gone from 9ish a night to forcing down my second drink. Last night I felt terrible after 2 drinks and just went to bed and woke up feeling relieved I didn't feel like crap.
