The Mail on Sunday newspaper's You magazine supplement briefly mentioned TSM by name this past Sunday (October 18th) in its advice column, in reply to a man asking for help regarding his alcoholic wife.

Although it was mentioned last, and just briefly, (after AA and Al-anon), as an alternative treatment, I find it encouraging - and so did the family member who brought it to my attention. The Daily Mail has previously covered Naltrexone, and a different family member may have first brought TSM to my attention through one of its articles. A long article about Dr Ameisen's self-treatment with Baclofen definitely found its way to me from the Daily Mail quite a while back.

The same small comment is also available online:

'Your despair is understandable. If your wife really wants to tackle her drink problem, she should return to AA and stick with it, but you can’t make her. The drinker often blames their spouse for their problem: ‘I only drink because of the way you treat me’, or, ‘You don’t love me enough’, but it is not your fault. Contact Al-Anon (tel: 020... or visit al-anonuk.org.uk), an organisation that runs support groups for families of alcoholics.

It works on sharing experiences about what you have learnt, to help you to find ways of coping. That may be learning to handle things differently or giving you the courage to leave your wife. For an alternative treatment, the Sinclair Method involves the medication naltrexone. Read The Cure for Alcoholism by Roy Eskapa (available for £9.99 with free p&p from the YOU Bookshop, tel: 0845 155 0711).'
