Not computer illiterate, but, just can't figure out why there are so many new posts with no feedback. Joining a site with this disgusting admission...is hard, really very hard, and to have no response...The first time in my small life I have reached out. I do not understand why no one responds. Can someone re-direct me to site that is active with TSM. I think it is my hope. I have never sought help until I learned of Naltreone.

But... you just did ask a question

Welcome!

do not know how to respond to feed back

I'm sorry -- I'm seriously not trying to be an ass here -- but you just did respond to feedback?

This is the most active board I've found. I can't speak for anyone else, but I usually don't reply on a new thread if it's something that's clearly already been discussed to death (like if someone asked how much they should take a day or what is Naltrexone). Or on the other side, it's something super specific that I don't really have useful input to give other than "hang in there."

One thing you learn through Sinclair is that this isn't a disgusting admission. It's not a moral weakness or anything. Good, wholesome, well-meaning people accidentally get hooked on things all the time. TSM is not about beating yourself up over being addicted or having a problem. It's about medically, scientifically, addressing the imbalance that has gotten itself ingrained in your neural pathways. That's it. As exciting and salacious as tofu.

I guess I should amend to that: this is the Tell Us Your Story thread... what's your story?

I have no issue with that...only my own feelings about my personal self/behavior. Not even sure if this is going to Jackson.

Not sure how to post my story Jackson, just joined tonight, was looking for help from you as you were my first contact. I would certainly post my story. I was not implying that anyone was disgusting; only myself. I am a good, wholesome human. I work, but I drink too much. Was just looking for support for the first time.

Hello SickofAl,

Welcome to the board. I too found it difficult to register here, but now it is done, so all is well.

This is a community of TSM users, the most active, I have found. You could also reach out on Optionssavelifes.freeforums.net which is the Cthree foundation forum - also TSM, but less active. Joanna there is very kind to answer all posts - much like UK blonde is here.

I have just checked and here there are only 10 unanswered post this year! That is few considering we are just ordinary people who share our experiences with TSM. Perhaps you should know that the guy who started this forum was cured long ago, but let it continue for all of us newcomers to use. Dr. Escapa, who wrote the book, does no longer answer questions here, and Dr. Sinclair the inventor of the method sadly passed away last month.

Now having said that. Please do start reading other people's stories on the board, I'm sure you'll find some similar to yours, whatever it may be. Then when, or if, you feel ready you can post your own story.

There are some abbreviations often used and useful to know. Most important are:
AL = alcohol
AF = alcohol free
Nal= naltrexone or nalmefine
SE = side effect

I find it helpful to press "view active topics" and the just read on what has happened in People's life since last time I checked in.

All the best.

Welcome SickofAl; yes post your story or questions. The board is pretty active but we are just people and log in when we can. Wishing you the best of luck with TSM!! Newlife

Welcome, post and also read, read, read as there is so much on this site.
This is the most active site that I know of but not a huge amount of people but for me great support since I started Oct 14th.
Post an ongoing Progress thread so you can introduce yourself, update week to week, ask questions whatever?
Nal On!
