Interesting short clip from Penn and Teller's Showtime series "Bullsh!t". It mentions Naltrexone specifically.

Alcoholism Medication

Bob

EDIT: Corrected the series which is actually a Showtime series, not HBO.

I wish they wouldn't have cut the clip off. Is this a current HBO show? I've got HBO...

I believe it is from this 30 minute segment about 12 step programs.

Note: Press the play button in the window that first comes up and then another button appears that has a video quality choice, IGNORE these, they lead to advertisements, just press the center play button again and the 30 minute show about 12 Stepping will begin.

Warning to those who dislike occasional profanity: this video is a Showtime program and is not censored. The vulgarity used is not intended to be profane, but used to accentuate the points being made.

Link: Bullsh!t Season 2, Episode 11 - 12 Stepping

Good stuff Bob. I kinda sorta disagree w/ some of the stuff Penn and Teller say but they admit at the beginning not being addicts, being atheists, etc.

Thanks.

I really liked it...I thought the # was higher than 5% but I don't know.

Oddly, this is my second alcohol free day since starting the sinclair method 6-7 weeks ago.

It's funny that I should see this on an oddball day of sobriety. I even feel kinda tired and am having chamomile tea.....(it is 2.34 AM)

Thanks for posting and it seems that site has a lot of other cool stuff...Best, Jim
