Hello Everyone. I'm back for the third time even though I was one of the original "cured" list folks quite awhile back (with a different name). As you all know, this is a very rocky road and we sometimes stumble. Long story short: I'm back and going to try again to succeed with The Sinclair Method.

This time I hope to "do the work" that in my case has to be done as well as popping the nal. From my experience if I don't get my head around the fact that my circumstances are not going to change - that the way I deal with those circumstances has to change, without using alcohol to help me over the rough spots - well you know what happens when we don't do the work...

I'll start a personal day to day thread in General Discussion and hope to get to know you all there. Tonight will be day 2 back on naltrexone.

Hi Babs,

I'm very interested in this aspect of treatment as well. I'm picking up this perspective from a number of participants - that it's not about just not drinking, or just cutting back. I relapsed a month ago after 14 months sober, and part of that was not having positive behaviors in place. I let myself get way too caught up in work, putting in insane hours, and than isolating much of the rest of the time. Prior to that I'd been AF off and on (more off than on) for 8 years.

So something didn't work all those other times I tried, and this time I'm hoping that TSM is as successful in recalibrating my brain as it has been for others. I will look forward to your journey - best of luck to all of us!
