Hi All,
I discovered the Sinclair Method through my mother of all people. I'd say I've been drinking steadily and heavily for about 10 years now, I'm 34 years old. It's of course gotten worse and worse over the years. I went from the "party girl" in college who was fun to the woman who goes home every night to a bottle to two bottles of wine a night. Pass out, get mean, it's ugly. I have few friends (those few I have are great and nonjudgemental), no boyfriend (lost a love because I chose alcohol over him). I have a great job doing what I am passionate about, two pets, and some family that still believes in me so I feel lucky in that respect that I haven't lost absolutely everything! But I have had many many scrapes and bruises and have always just seemed to be treading water, barely able to breathe, and completely and utterly sick of alcohol, but I can't stop. When I do try, it's worse when somehow I have that first drink, somehow let myself, really without a thought. Total binge. I really want to begin this method and I now have to wait for a doctors appointment on the 13th of September. I want to start immediately. I saw online there are ways of course to order naltrexone/Revia without a prescription, I was hoping to do so but I wanted to see anyone's thoughts ordering online. If it was safe or of any recommendations or if I should just wait for the appointment. Thank you! Any advice/help is welcome.
Thanks again.

Ordering online is safe and easy, though it does take awhile to get there (2-3 weeks). The pills are highly sophisticated "exact replicas" often produced by Indian drug companies.

Many, many people leave "appointments" frustrated and angry that they don't get the Rx. they wanted, and are then now labeled as troubled drinkers, so that route is not one that most people recommend, as Naltrexone isn't even approved by the FDA for use WITH alcohol, or as an adjunct to abstinence. Thus, Drs. are leary to prescribe it.

Yea, I could not find a doctor in NJ that would give me a prescription - so i beat the system by ordering from Canada (I used River). I probably paid for the Nal from the bottles I have not bought by now...
