My doctor is researching Nal to decide whether or not to prescribe it for me. He didn't know anything about it till I told him. I'd like to hasten the process...is there any specific study or literature I could point him to?

Anyways....Here's some important links....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_Method (description of the method,..well done)

http://www.mentalhelp.net/poc/view_doc. ... c&id=11132

(an absolutely wonderful article describing in detail how pharmacological extinction works). I highly recommend this for anybody because it shows in detail but for a common layperson how it all works.

And the book that I read although, they claimed I'd be cured in 3 months and I'm just coming on 6, not calling myself cured but think within 3 months I will. Last night for example, at my gig, no need to go running to the bar

And the book by Eskapa

http://www.amazon.com/Cure-Alcoholism-W ... 512&sr=8-1

This article from the New York Times authorizes GPs to prescribe naltrexone.

This website for addiction psychiatrists has additional information about the legitimacy of naltrexone for alcoholism.
