Hey Everyone.

I was directed to this site from someone on the MYO forums. Thanks for the link.

I read Dr. E's book over the weekend and for the first time in my life I actually have hope about my drinking problem.

I'm 53 and have been drinking since my teens. I don't drink every day but I am quite the binger when I get started. My father and his aunt had the same problem. Said to say, at least one of my sons is in the grips of booze.

This method makes so much sense to me. Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

Has anyone taken Nal w/o doc's prescription? I REALLY want to get started and don't have a regular doc, believe or not, at my age. I basically do not trust them.

Anyway, any help/advice would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks.

Hi and welcome -

I just started the TSM a few days ago and for the first time, have hope that I can cure my addiction without abstinence or willpower - something I don't have a lot of.

I have read on the boards that River Pharmacy and alldaychemist will sell Nal without a prescription.

Good luck!

Well Hi, and Welcome!

Yes, many here get their scripts w/o an actual script. I highly recommend alldaychemist.com. They are much less costly than River pharmacy, and equally as dependable. It takes 10-14 days to get the meds after ordering.

Congratulations on having found 'The Cure.' You're worth saving!

Hi Lucy_D!
Welcome to the board. You'll find a fantastic group of people here, always offering support and empathy. I ordered topomax from River Pharmacy once, and they were very professional. I got my Rx for naltroxene from my psychiatrist (much cheaper if you have insurance -- I pay only $10 a bottle). Tell him/her you heard it helps with the cravings and that you're shooting for abstinance -- unless you find a psych who is onboard with TSM. Most of them aren't.

I'm on Week 9 with TSM so I can't offer much about its effectiveness yet, but I have my fingers crossed.

Good luck.

Hey Lucy!

Welcome to this board and a whole new world - that's what TSM and the members here will give you! I hope you find the best solution for getting the Nal ASAP. I'm one of the lucky ones who has a prescription mostly covered by insurance, but I still haven't told my psych about TSM. I fear he won't continue to give me the prescription. I could be way off base, because he seems somewhat open. I just can't risk it yet - TSM is still considered too controversial for many medical professionals, but the list of 'informed/intelligent' doctors is growing...just more slowly than we'd like. However you get the Nal, that's all you need to get started. We'll all be here for support. It's great to have you aboard!

Welcome Lucy!

You have excellent support here. We have each others backs here, and we understand each other and that is what is important.

This is a great place =)

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and encouragement. I ordering the Nal today and hoping it works for me as it seems to working for many of you.
