Claudia...what an awesome human being. So grateful for her and the mission that she champions. Changed my life for the good.

I'm currently a patient in a psychiatric ward watching Claudia👽💙 & another of her TSM YT vid's , on loop, for hours. I really need to bring this pill & TSM up while I'm here, & use this place as a form of detox centre. 👽🙂

Breaking the habit is totally what has to happen. After nearly 2 years of TSM I was drinking less, but still daily. It took a bad fall (nothing broken, but battered and bruised) for me to change a habit of the last 40 years. If done 22 AF days now - I might have a drink (with Naltrexone of course) after 33 days ... or I may not. Thank you so much Claudia and Katy.

3.5 years on TSM and all of this fits me so well. Mindful drinking with the pill is the secrete.

You’ve taken the pill for 3.5 years?? I thought this was a short term therapy.

Claudia, Thank you for having the guts to do what you're doing!

I’m sure it was Claudia I met when she was on holiday in Cape Town when we were about 20 Years old. What a lovely fun girl. We kept in touch when she went back to LA but we eventually lost contact. So happy you have done so well. Really enjoyed your advice on alcoholism. After so many years so good to see you.

Abstinence with a medical detox and mental health care is what got me Sober. Anything that helps alcoholics is wonderful. I support this if it helps people.

I personally don’t drink alcohol never had the urge to drink,maybe a drink a year or one in two years.

Oral form. The price of oral naltrexone usually varies from $25 to $60 per month. (Injectable form. The injection form of naltrexone is significantly more expensive, usually ranging from $700 to $1,100 per month).

I feel like I’m the perfect candidate for this. your experience so much like mine. I absolutely hate socializing without several drinks. Would be amazing to enjoy a glass of wine or mimosa then just enjoy the company I’m with.

Thank you.

just got my naltrexone yesterday, doc wanted me to start on it last night (and take it every day whether I'm drinking or not). I was gonna take half a tab but decided to wait till the weekend when I will drink. (I don't drink during the week very often). I'm nervous about the side effects while at work so if I get them I want to be at home. Do you get the side effects if you use naltrexone while drinking as opposed to when you're not? That's something I haven't heard anyone address yet. I'm excited to start (I really want to fully quit eventually), but need to proceed cautiously. I'm grateful for having come across Claudia's ted talk which started me on this path and everything everyone has posted about their experiences.

Thanks for this video. Do you still experience any 'type' of intoxication at all when following the Sinclair method? Or, is that feeling blocked out altogether? Can this method still work for those who are dependent drinkers?

@Michael-tr7uq

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, you can still enjoy some part of drinking and you can get intoxicated on TSM, if you are not mindful of every sip. TSM just gives you a much better chance of saying " that's enough for now". Doing 5his repeatedly leads to a gradual taper over 4-12 months. The award-winning documentary 'One Little Pill' on Amazon, Google Play and Vimeo. also the groundbreaking book by Dr. Roy Eskapa, PHD, "The Cure ... " is a must read ! The TSM has a greater than 70% success rate. This Pavlovian science, proven in clinical trials. See www.cthreefoundation.org "The Sinclair Method … it really made a lot of sense. It’s so beautiful. You don’t have to stop drinking. You don’t have to give up alcohol. The alcohol will give you up. So that is the beauty of this treatment.” Dr. Kshama Metre

Has anyone who has drank to calm anxiety found help with Naltrexone? I have been able to power through and avoid "boredom" drinking, but what always makes me cave is my anxiety.

She says at 7:15 once you're physically dependant it's "just a matter of slowly tapering off the alcohol and re-learning how to drink" shows she has little real experience with the true alcoholic. I've been in AA for 37 years and have met and known thousands of other alkys. Never seen it happen. But if you are a beginning problem drinker maybe it helps. Give it a try. I had a sponsee leave AA and try it and it worked for a few weeks, then ultimately he missed the effects of alcohol and has destroyed his life. But he is a real alcoholic. Not a beginning problem drinker. I take umbrage that she stated before she went to 12 AA meetings and they didn't work. If anyone here is a REAL alky and you try AA, give it everything you got for 90 days. That means get a sponsor and work the steps as they are laid out in the Big Book. It's a new way of life. Not just quitting drinking.

Currently on naltrexone, i had one beer and tipped the rest away. It really didn’t bother me, before I would always hav the thirst all I could think about is more. It was compulsive.

What do u have to say to true alcohols that can’t do this. I have down this I have done this 100% I think there are different alcoholics.. I am so happy for those that can. I think if you have been 30+ year alcoholic no this won’t work. That takes alot more to change your receptors. A 10 year drinker yes this might work. So do it but if you are an older person that’s been on the oiss for 30 years no. It doesn’t work

This medication could be a good add-on treatment. However, if the underlying issues that cause a person to drink to excess aren't addressed, this medication will not solve the real problem. Alcoholism is merely a symptom of a larger psychological issue. People cope in different ways. The alcoholic or addict's brain anesthetizes as a means of escape/coping and it takes years to reshape the psyche into being able to respond appropriately to one's environmental stressors, triggers, and/or past traumas.
