Hello everyone,

I have accomplished 60 days AF out of 120 days starting on Sept 22
ending this Jan 22 2013. This is exciting for me as I was a daily drinker. I am so happy I
never became a late night early morning drinker. Mostly a happy hour queen with
remorse (anxiety) in the morning. For which I would medicate with either Ativan or
Xanax. My life has improved so much it is mind blowing.

First I am in control of alcohol now it does not control me. Next I started on the
antidepressant Lexapro and I am reducing my anti-anxeity meds. Last and most important
is I am happy. I have revisited my old hobbies I once enjoyed. And this huge weight has
been lifted from my heart not to mention I have also lost a few pounds! This has given me a
deep profound sence of accomplishment and a deep profound joy I never thought I would enjoy.

I need to be clear I have not completed stop drinking but I it is no longer
the focus of my life! I am so thankful to Dr. Sinclair I wish I could meet him and tell him myself.

Wow, that's great Rebecca. I know what you mean with that 'sense of accomplishment' because I feel you have to 'participate' actively with the TSM, rather than lie back and wait

Started TSM Aug 2012. Had some success but over time the Nal SEs were so awful that stopped taking Nal. Managed a 30 day (Sept 2012) and 46 day (Feb/Mar 2013) AF period which also contributed to getting drinking under control.

Thanks for the warm wishes. This Naltrexone is the greatest thing that has happened in my life in a very long time. Now I need to erase the old tapes in my mind. The messages of being a loser and morally bankrupt. My self confidence is coming back but slow. My self respect is back and in the driver seat again. I really want to scream this from the mountain tops. Its too bad there are so many people still suffering out there. :(
