I'm new here. I just had questions about if there is such a thing as a "good candidate" for the Sinclair method? Any genetic dispositions? Style of drinking? Periods of past sobriety? Race? Sex? I just want a little more reinforcement before I try, I guess.
Thanks so much!

You drink too much and you're sick enough of it to finally DO something.
Good luck.
Steve.

steven is correct. unless you're sober right now, it's worth a go. it's helped me a lot.

If you're really interested in the genetics, https://www.23andme.com/ has a marker for Naltrexone response (rs1799971) that ranges from "normal" to "substantially higher odds of good clinical outcome". The confidence isn't very high though. (Between 100 and 750 people studied)

Here is the link to the study:

Steven is exactly right. Especially about the second part. If you are like the rest of us, this isn't really a tough decision...

If you are here and thinking about it then yes you are a good candidate !
