Pre-Sinclair: 70-100 units/week

Q at this point, Pre-TSM: Drinking completely out of control -- 3-4 bottles of wine 4-5 nights per week. In the weeks preceding TSM, I was really out of control. I spent at least half of the week hungover and cared very little about doing outside of work, but drinking or recovering from a hangover. My drinking was getting so bad, that I was frequently going into work 2-3 hours late or missing a day of work all together. Had I not owned my own business, I likely would not have kept my job.

20 weeks later (23 weeks less the 3 weeks he was on pain meds): My obsessive craving for alcohol is gone. Looking back at where I was when I started TSM, the contrast in my view and desire for alcohol is so dramatic I am at a lost as to how to put it to words. Most of the time, I have only an occasional, fleeting, desire for alcohol. The other times, the craving is such that it is easy to choose to drink or not to drink. I no longer feel like I just have to drink. I have quite literally gotten my life back. I feel healthy again, alive, and just plain good!! Looking back 5-6 months ago, I have no idea how I survived the way I was living. It was madness.

Q's Long Term Goal: We'll see where it goes. I'm leaning towards being mostly abstinent, but well see. Bottom line is I will continue to follow TSM regardless of where I ultimately end up.

I will forever be greatful to Dr. Sinclair and Dr. Eskapa. THANK YOU!!!!!

Congratulations!!!

I think I'm right behind you... 2 weeks with no or little desire for AL, punctuated by modified old habits.

This stuff does work despite what our emotions might be telling us on any particular day. All we need to do is look at the numbers and we can see it. I can see it in your numbers and I see it in mine. I'm sure both of us have a few rough days still ahead of us. Not to worry' those individual days are becoming increasingly rarefied.

We are in fact indebted to Dr. Sinclair and Dr. Eskapa! We would have never found this treatment if it were not for Dr. Sinclair's research and Dr. Eskapa's book.

Once again, congratulations!!!

Ditto from me here - awesome news & sooooo happy for you!!! Hope springs eternal

GREAT, FANTASTIC, MULTIPLE PATS ON YOUR BACK.

After two nights of heavy drinking, another Sunday ruined by a hangover, I needed to see something like this. Let's see, who else is basically cured?

Springerider, Bob, Potato, Netty, N101CS... Am I missing anybody?

Hip hip hooray!

Yeah!!!! Yahoo !! Congratulations Q! Turned on my computer today and saw this and put both arms in the air and said Yeah! It is so great to see this and it helps me to feel better. What great news. All the best.

~Q - I've followed your progress since the beginning and am so happy to see you declare this - congratulations!!

This is so wonderful to see - enjoy your new life !

Fantastic News Q.

Thanks everyone. It has been a journey to say the least, but one well worth taking. There are definitely times when you question TSM, but there is no question this method does work. Once you start, it is just a matter of time before the addiction is extinguished.

I look forward to seeing more of us joining the ranks of those beating their addiction with TSM. We are the real world examples that all of us were looking for when we started this program several months ago.

For the new comers to this site, and just starting TSM, what greater encouragement than being able to converse with people who have completed the program. When we migrated over to this forum from MWO back in February, all we really had was a book. We were all sailing into uncharted waters. I can think of a few people I think we lost along the way simple because there was no one who could stand up and say "Yes, I was cured using this method."

Congratulations, Q!

Give yourself a big pat on the back for your achievement. I echo the comments of others regarding our desire to see your continuing contribution to this community. Please keep posting as you will provide ongoing inspiration to all those who have embarked/will embark on the TSM journey. Your experience will be invaluable to others.

All the very best to you!
