Just wanted to update you all that I am in Mexico and my Nal never arrived before I left from River Pharmacy. My friend at home has been checking my mail and I even asked her if when they arrive she could mail them to a friend in the US who is coming to the Island hand could bring them to me. Well looks like there was some sort of problem as it is over a month since they said they mailed them so they are not coming. I am out of Nal and am back to drinking without any of them. I have asked everywhere with all the names Nal is under here and they just don't have them. What a waste of over 15 months!

I'm sorry you didn't get your Nal, Cheeto. Though I wonder if you're not far enough into the process that you've already made considerable process with extinction.

Shoot Joanna an email joanna@cthreeeurope.com , she might be able to help.

I'll do some digging and see what I can find. Stay tuned!

Wow. Mexico is devoid of Nal, and this with alcohol use disorders climbing there.

I checked into natural opiate antagonists and this is as close as I got:

So drink decaf! Looks like as long as it's roasted it has a mu opioid antagonist in it.

Arrrgh!!!!

Oh Cheeto - I am so sorry! I truly do not know what else to say - apart from do not give up - this might be a setback but it isn't the end of it for you! As Joe said, try e-mailing Joanna and see what she can suggest. My heart goes out to you with all this!

Hugs to you, Maggie XXX

keep on keepin' on, Cheeto. I don't think all your work is down the drain. it was kind of out of your control and you'll get back there. try developing a drinking plan and stick to it. you can do it!

I don't think it is down the drain, either, Cheeto. Just do the best that you can. xoxo Newlife

Thanks everyone for your support just very frustrated that after 15 months TSM has not worked for me and now being n Mexico without any Nal. I will pick up the pieces when I get home, order more and start again, ughhh!
Had 1 glass of wine today and am gonna try not to drink anything more tonight as I drank more than my share yesterday.

Yeah, I hear ya Cheeto. But I think Skippy was at 14 months when he bumped the dose to 100 and it flipped the switch for him. Are you at 50mg?

And besides, when did you ever have a 10 drink week before?

I was at 50mg and went up to 75mg for a few days before I left on Dec 30th but was running out of Nal. Now I am not taking any as I only have 10 pills left. I plan to start taking them 10 days before I get home on Feb 29th. I will also order more Nal from River Pharmacy a few weeks before I get back to ensure I get it this time and will be back doing the Golden Rule and TSM.
Nal On my friends!

Sounds like a good plan. Have you tried breaking the pill in half and taking both halves? Some have gotten good mileage out of that.

In the meantime, see if you can nail down some good decaf coffee and intersperse with iced coffee drinks? Might be worth a shot as it's reported to antagonize the mu opioid receptors.
