Today is my 70th day sober. I have known that my drinking was not normal for many years. I tried AA and stayed sober off and on for many years. However, the past seven years or so I have been unable to string more than a few days together without drinking. I hit a bottom so low. I lost my marriage in favor of alcohol, I tried to commit suicide many times and by a chance meeting I met a woman on the bus that told me about the sinclair method. I really had no hope it would help so I didn't go to a doctor right away. Eventually I went just to please my Family. I started taking the 50mg tablet one hour before I drank. At first I seemed to drink even more, I did not think the medication was working. I started taking the medication in Jan 2012. today I have managed to abstain from drinking for 70 days today. It did seem to get worse in the begining but I was all for drinking my way sober, that sounded like the way to go since everytime I would tell myself I'm not going to drink today and be drinking in less than an hour, i did know how to drink that I could do. Anyway, I still think about drinking sometimes and sometimes I think I will pick up another drink so I take the naltrexone. The funny thing is i don't end up drinking even though I obviously plan it. The method has been a god send for me. I still attend aa but I could not stop drinking before I started the medication. :D Both together is working for me. The thing is if I do drink again I have the medication, so If I think oh things would be or seem so much better If I could have a drink I will have a fighting chance now.

Thank you for your post. I've just started taking the Nal again and I do notice that my craving for alcohol is reduced. I'm hoping over time I will get to some AF days and perhaps end up like you with a major AF period. Your experience is an inspiration and gives me hope.

Best of luck going forward.
