Just started this thing. Been binge drinking for 20 years or so and have tried everything to quit. I'm hoping this works but with my genetic history I'm afraid that I'm somehow going to find a loophole and its not going to work. I understand the Pavlov thing about reducing cravings by eliminating positive reinforcement. But, what if there is some section of your mind that just doesn't care about that and you still end up drinking anyway because you're stubborn?

Anyone have any experience with this or am I just paranoid?

You sound a little paranoid. As others have said, you have little to risk and a lot to gain. Do it.

Sounds to me like you are looking for a reason for it not to work - I mean - come on, 'what if you are Irish?' Really ? I was weaned on Guinness - well, not really but almost ! I have Irish on my grandmothers side .... and my dad comes from a whole family of Alcoholics .....so if I can do this - then so can you !! And stubborn is just an excuse for 'don't want to' .

I am half Irish and half Italian. And I have often joked around about my heavy drinking was caused by me being Irish and my heavy eating on being Italian. But that was just a way to blow off questions about my drinking. You can do it -and you have over an 80% chance of it working if you give it enough time and follow the golden rule of taking the pill an hour prior to drinking.

And finally, this program is made for us Irishman, no one is telling us that we have to stop drinking! Which is what most Irishman have heard people say for centuries. Just take a pill before you do and drink normally - until you no longer want to drink.

Hi - I just started at the end of May. I come from a long line of Irish drinkers. Why would being Irish make this method not work? I am determined to beat this.
