hi all... i drank last night but i remember everything which is a first... i bought wine back after my night out and drank some... it was areally bad wine so i couldnt drink much .. ended up cooking pasta and had a shower and washed my face!!!!!!!!!!!! yahoo... i was semi responsible... i am feeling a little better about myself... although maybe that was a one off... getting there guys... heres to week 2...

SS, it won't be a one off, there will be lots of nights like that

Yes sunshine, even though my intake isn't down as much overall as I would like, there's a distinct difference in my life right now. Aside from being addicted to this Message Board (maybe I'll have to do nal before coming on each a.m.? ), my time is starting to be spent in more normal ways. I'm cooking most nights for my SO and myself, whereas we were eating out most nights before. It's fun - I love to cook, and have my own version of 'bacon spanish rice stuffed peppers' in the oven as we speak. Haven't cooked this way since the kids were young, except for holidays and our Sunday pot-luck with friends. It's certainly got to be healthier, since I really didn't eat much when we went out. . .too drunk to care about food.

I am not having black outs (though a couple of nights have still been 'vaguely recalled,') and most nights I do brush, floss, and wash my face. (I'm an afternoon shower person. . .) For awhile there, I wasn't even brushing b/4 falling into the sack. Why bother, when you're gonna be drinking wine anyway?

Today has been one of my most productive to date. I've done laundry, worked on my book project, tended to the horses, got some administrative/clerical work done, gave the house a 'lick and a promise,' got myself showered, dressed and made up by late morning (I work from home, so some days the PJ's don't come off till the SO calls to say he's on his way home,) and have now fixed a pretty mean dinner. I took a bunch of fruits/vegies and put them through the juicer for a quart of Yummee!! healthy juice to have on hand. I even spent 20 minutes in a very nice meditation - something I haven't managed to do for months. (I find heavy alcohol use and spirituality to be mutually exclusive.)

Prior to TSM, I would have lounged in my PJ's much of the day, browsed the internet, worked listlessly and not so productively on my book, caught up on some e-mail (maybe), and then rushed to shower/dress and make the bed b/4 my man Jake got home. It was getting ridiculous!

Here it is 5:20, I've taken my Nal, and only sipped down one small glass of wine. Hmmmm. . .

You rock! What great day :-)

I am off to bed sober after a 3 small glasses of wine. I now look into my cupboard and don't want the ginormous glass I used to use.
Had a lovely day with my husband and two babies. They are 1 and a half (twins) and life with them and hubby is so much more pleasant without hangovers!
All good.
Happy Easter!

wow G4M...... that sounds like an ace day.... i must say that when i went out the other night i came home and slept rather than cracking open another bottle... it goes without saying that i always do that! so i think im making progress.... hell yea!
i am sticking to this no matter what! i want a social life again....... and i want MY LIFE BACK... i really think i may be getting somewhere...

Hi all, I am waiting to start. The hardest part is finding a Doctor in the NYC area the uses the Sinclair Method. I am meeting a fellow New Yorker this week to see how she found one. Does anyone have any web-sites that are not scams that will sell naltrexone w/o perscription if i can't find a doc? Any other NYC people out there ? Regards, TMac

Way to go Cash. life is waaay better without nasty hangovers. G4M that sounds like a great day. Welcome Sunshine. If you keep up wth the method as I have, your life just starts getting better . Well that has been my experience anyway. All the best. !

Regards and welcome, TMac! Those of us who were forced to order from the internet have mostly used River Pharmacy. My 90 pills cost nearly $300. I discovered alldaychemist.com, and they charge only $165 for 100 Naltrexone. I checked with them about who manufactures their generic Nal, and they informed me it was Intas Pharm - a reputable Indian pharmacy company, so you should be OK in that respect.

Good call Going4More
Would be interested in anyone who had tried the non river pharmacy tabs. I am lucky to have got 2 months worth on prescription and close to running out. So I have managed or the irst time some Alcohol free days. 4 in Fact. HAd a cold and decided to break the cycle. Had a couple tonight post nal and all good.
