Adrienne,

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm happy to see this in the mainstream news. BTDT

This is exciting. This is the kind of exposure that we've been hoping for....

The next thing for Eskapa to do is include our website in his interviews because i think this forum has been invaluable in my treatment. Even though I'm not cured, I am so much better than I was and 20 pounds lighter. I have to believe that some of that is alcohol weight. Although, I do think that Naltrexone might in my case reduce my appetite but then again I never had a ravenous one unless i was smoking the herb. :lol:

My Best, Jim

RAWWWWWK!!!! :D Saw this just about an hour ago. Eskapa posted it on Facebook. I'm afraid he won't be mentioning this board anytime soon, Jim. He says it's full of misinformation. I think the board is great. people sharing their experiences, we're not doctors though, and these doctors are not alcoholics, so there's bound to be a disconnect between these scientists and us drunks(and former drunks) who are benefitting from their research and babbling on about it with personal anecdotes and observations.

Hopefully more people will see this. if anybody's on facebook or myspace or whatever, and is willing to be publicly outed, share this!!! or if you have family who have seen the difference, have your family share it. More people need to know! So many hopeless drunks still think there is only one way.

I'm so excited I had an extra beer! this southern pecan nut brown is delicious, but i'm full after 3.5 so.... off to bed with a half beer going to waste. I hate to leave a "wounded soldier" but..................no, I lied, these days really don't mind at all.

Good Point Joe,

Fine then,...but he's ultimately not helping the cause...Of course there is misinformation, but its just regular folk sharing....we're not doctors but a place for people to share and gulp....fellowship...sorry for using that word as I know it connotes certain things...

Hey guys....1.40 AM and still sober. 5 units over 4 hours. Am going to the herb sadly though....still a ways off of a cure. But normally...I would be HAMMERED by now writing crazy S**t and apologizing later. Its working. 1 year anniversary coming up and I so want it to be AF. My best, Jim

Cripes I for one dont want to critize Escapa, especially not with the way TSM is working for me and the effect it has had in my life but if he thinks that this site is full of miss information I cant help but wonder why he doesnt drop in every now and again to correct the missinformation. After all if one googles The Sinclair Method this is one of the first sites to pop up.

As well as that surely this site is a prime example of how TSM works out in the real world as opposed to a controlled study. So the problems we come accross and post about here are surely the ones that others will come accross.

Im going to a wedding reception this evening and its great to know that I wont fall, I wont make a fool of myself, I wont blackout and I wont feel like dying with a hangover tomorrow morning. If I had a penny for every morning I woke up remembering nothing, waiting to see if hubby was talking to me, having vague memories of saying or doing something stupid and swearing to God that I would never drink again while almost in the same breath plot how I was going to get my hands on more drink.

I wonder the same thing, but we have to remember: these guys are scientists. To them, the only important information is the numbers in the studies, to us the most important info is whether or not we drank too much, is our wife pissed?, should we tell our friends, why is it taking longer.... etc.

It may be a wise move on his part to stay out of here for the most part. He's got to hold fast to hard numbers and this is a place where anybody can post pretty much anything at all. As TSM gains momentum, he will be more visible to the public and medical community, so it doesn't hurt to be careful about posting stuff on the internet that can come back to bite you.

I love the site but also owe Eskapa this respect. The same way I owe respect to the people who posted a lot, then got cured and slid off the board into normal life.

At the end of the day people do as they wish . However I don't think Dr Eskapa'a reputation
can't be compromised by answering a few questions in this forum . I 'm sure he can maintain his chief work as scientist too .It won't be the first time its been done . If he does see misinformation here it would indeed be useful if he could indicate it . So I'll ask him about it and let him decide to answer or not .
