I've been on this Sinclair Method for two months now with some progress, not completely cured yet. Here's the problem... I lost my Naltrexone on Friday, made it through the holiday weekend without. Today my cravings are through the roof & I cannot get any more Naltexone for another day or two, when my doctor gets back from vacation. What should I do?

Wait until your doctor gets back. I know that sounds rough but you might learn something positive from the experience of a few AF days. The alternative is all setback........

Thanks all41, I'll see what I can do. I'm already irritable & getting snippy with people at work. This is tough.

I would try to tough it out if I could too, CrazyJoe. I hope your dr comes back soon. When you get your script filled I would divide up your supply and keep it in different places. Hope you can make it!! Newlife

Hold on, Crazy Joe! If you got through the weekend, those are the hardest days to go AF, and you've already beaten those. You can make it!

Just do the best you can brother. Be gentle with yourself & keep putting one foot in front of the other. Obviously it is best if you don't lose the progress you have as it is so hard won but no matter what, just give yourself as much space and support as you can. Do whatever you can to eliminate stress and try to ride it out. Good luck! :)

I think it was great that you made it through the holiday weekend - not sure that I could have done that - try and hang in there until your doctor gets back!!! If it was a longer period, I am sure that one of us here could have sent some to tide you over ......

Hugs, Maggie

Try to stay AF, -but if you don't all is not lost. You can pick-up right where you left off when you get your Nal. TCM is not a one-shot deal. You can relapse and start back up again with nothing lost but time. Don't panic.
