On my second attempt it has worked 100%. My first attempt was a half-assed one. I would take the pill sometimes, not all the time, and when I did I would sometimes take it without the hour rule in place. This time, however, I have taken in at least an hour early EVERY TIME and I can truly now say it's the real deal.. wow. I pretty much cannot over-drink.. I cannot go on benders.. I am left to wonder the whole time I'm drinking "Why am I even doing this, it doesn't do anything for me any longer... I am wasting time, money, brain cells, etc.." It's been 8 months now that I've been doing it 'by the book' and with this that's literal.. If you're tying this for the first time and it's not working take it from me.. don't cheat, just do it, and it WILL work... Thanks for hearing me out

Brilliant. It's always good to hear success stories

I couldn't have put it better myself. I cannot stress enough that its not even worth your while starting TSM if you don't follow that single rule. The amount of people who have tried and called it a failure because of not doing this would be pretty high I'd guess.

"I pretty much cannot over-drink.. I cannot go on benders.."

^^^ This pretty sums it up for me. Under control are the key words.

Yep. When someone says it's not working, that is the question to ask.

Thanks for appreciating 'n chiming in guys! (or guy and gal that is i think)... Yes, I have passed this on to one good friend of mine who needed it even more than myself.. 3 DUI's and a socialite that can't get away from the social life to save her life.. hahahha.. because I had that previous knowledge first hand, the knowing that you MUST do it BY THE BOOK I have been able to coach her and she has had amazing results to to say the least. She one-upped me by going to her psychologist and telling them she wanted to try naltrexone to stay sober and they gave her a prescription without blinking an eye! I, on the other hand, had been buying it from India at astronomical costs in comparison to her $5/bottle refills ( don't think I'll be sending an order back to India anytime soon now). Anyhow, she still goes out as she did before and the only difference is that everyone is wondering how she is all the sudden in control all the time and not the usual mess she always was before.. Funny, she always tells me about the people who are enticing her to take the next shot and party on and she's like "nope, I'm good you guys can take the shot for me".. It makes me think that there should be a program in place where people who know the deal are avail to help others who are getting started.. Perhaps a website where newbies can find "TSM Sponsors".. If I get enough support/thumbs up on this I might just have to do it as I am a pretty savvy web guy.. In the meantime, party on A LITTLE LESS everyone!!

It's always good to have more people spreading the news.

I'm not sure sponsors are a good idea. Some people naturally fall into half of a mentor/protégé relationship, but artificial structures never succeed at replicating it.

I think this is the site where people can find other people who have gone before. It's unfortunate that guests can't browse any more, but I suppose the admins had their reasons.

I'm glad you and your friend are cured. That's awesome.

Hi Melissa,

Yeah, I've seen it. I can't help noticing that "a few weeks" turned into well over a year.

Still -- their forum, their rules.

I am so glad to read this at the second try. I have been trying, for some months, but have not been compliant. Where as I actually see some result as I am compliant, I keep forgetting pills or just stay in bed for a day if I feel very bad, which causes me to feel even more bad the next day...

I have now made a scheme for myself to fill everything in (although I will not hang it on my refrigerator for visitors ) and I have sent Claudia Christian a message on FB, and got one back in return within one day! I will copy it hereunder: as an extra encouragement for all those who need it!

Dear Claudia,

I had no idea who you were untill I stumbled unto your interview about the sinclair method on YouTube.

I read through your biography on Wikipedia and am amazed what you have achieved in your life.

I am *** from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and am trying the sinclair method since a few months. Earlier, I paid (like you) some Indian pharmacy to deliver it to me, but that didn't work, was too expensive and not delivered on time.

I am a 33 year old female with my whole future before me, I work in the banking sector with a lot of stress and reorganizations and had a burnout two years ago.

I had a good childhood, am well educated (psychology and economics), have travelled a lot and just had the accident of having had a relationship with a bipolar boy with psychoses for 4 years which made me have a survival mechanism of taking care of him and not myself.

After we broke up, I started to have sleeping problems (never had any of that before) and when my mum told me to take something to sleep, I did that for the first time 4 years ago.

I am what they call a functioning alcoholic, although sometimes I doubt whether I am one or not (denial?). I work fulltime, have my own house, a lot of friends, I sport a lot (running, field hockey etc).

I had the luck recently by lying to my gp about having alcohol problems and wanting to stay abstinent so try naltrexone, because it is free in the netherlands! Otherwise I pay 350 euro's for 70 pills from india. By lying, I got the prescription, because they wanted to get me to use antabuse.

I got a 90 pill prescription and am really trying out now.

The reason I am sending you this message, is that I hope to get some encouragement to stay compliant and not let my discipline slip.

I admire you for being so open about it and the cure, I still have to see if it works for me, but my environment wouldn't trust anything I think if I told them I have a problem.

My parents know, my mother is of irish descent and says it comes from her side.

Like you, I would just like it not to be an issue to think about! During my student days, I did not think about it and had no problem quitting whenever.

I hope to have the same effect as you had and want to stay compliant, as I do want to have children in the next couple of years and still have my looks now

I love my life and don't want alcohol to destroy it.

Thank you for reading, if this message ever gets to you personally.

With kind regards,

***


Oh and by the way; I have never used drugs in my whole life (had a joint when I was 18, but made so sick I never tried again), but never pills or anything heavier.

Because in the netherlands the access is very easy, we just don't get tempted..

Hi ***, Please feel free to email me and I will send you a PDF of the Cure for Alcoholism, the book that saved my life I've been in TSM for 5 years as of today...amazing how it changed my life! It will make you stop thinking about alcohol and it will give you back "you".... I am happy to be your support system while you go on it, it's really easy just ALWAYS take your pill one hour before your first drink of the day.....and that's it really, within a few months you will see s huge difference, I saw it right away.... Best to you and keep in touch:

and in regards to being compliant; you seem to want to get better so you will take your pill , I suggest you eat before taking it, like you I never took drugs at that point in my life when I started taking naltrexone so my system was really clean and I felt a little nauseous when I took it because I had not eaten so please eat!

Wow thank you Claudia for your quick response! This is a huge motivation for me being compliant!

I have my pills, still 75 to go, so for the next three months I will be covered

Thank you so much, I had the nauseous feeling when I got the pills from India, nodict is not the brand they say... I have got revia now.

I don't feel nauseous anymore... I am taking (next to my work) an education in NLP (neuro linguïstic programming) to solve other issues, but your message means a lot to me!

I will keep you posted on my progress.

As a psychologist I know that motivation, nature and nurture collide in many ways...

So if you have a problem, my approach is to look at it from a scientific side as well as a personal side... And TSM will be my scientific side. The rest will be my personal motivation to make everything of my life possible!

Thanks again and I do love eating, so no problem there (happily never had eating problems).

Heartily regards,



Claudia Christian

Hi ***, I am thrilled that Revia is working for you! I'm also really happy that you are so aware that every addict is different, some need more than just a biological cure, some need therapy and other methods...some even need group support. For me it was just the science I needed and boy did I need TSM! Feel free to email me if you need me Love, Claudia x
