Naltrexone saved my life … 6 years sober and not once have I ever been tempted to pick up the bottle .. good luck to all
Congratulations 🙏 So happy for you.
Was it because you did the sinclair method? Or was it that naltrexone stopped the cravings for alcohol? Curious of your story. Also did alcohol start causing you severe depression and anxiety in the end ?
I got my prescription last week. I’m so happy 😁. It work so good. I feel like I got out of jail From that craving
Naltrexone saved my life. Went through severe DTs not to long ago. I was 30 pack a day beer drinker and sometimes a half pint of fireball. I was knocking on death's door and dying quickly. Immediately after DTs I began taking Naltrexone and the result was instantly no cravings, no desire to drink. It is a miracle. I don't know about others but I personally prefer to live a sober life and persuade my dreams that alcohol has kept me from all of these years. Good luck with your journey.
Wow. What a powerful testimony I am beyond thrilled for you. Thank you for sharing! 🙏
Did it help with DTs
For me it worked immediately! After day 1, I already stopped drinking. It took away all the anxiety I had from daily drinking and I felt in total control of my decisions during the day. I have been going to gym most days and havent smoked or drink now for 1 month. It has really been a miracle pill for me!❤
This is incredible 🙌
« Alcohol was a great eraser » wow- very eloquently said!
Thank you for speaking out Rachel🎈🎉🎉🎉 I just found out about this a few hours ago. I have fatty liver! I cant stop drinking! I now see hope, thank you for speaking out!
Same here. I need to quit totally. My concern is the first week of dangerous alcohol withdrawals.
@@bevmillard4486 For me, when I stopped drinking 6 years ago, It was 3 days of sweats, chills, diahrrea, nausea. Then I stopped for 5 years. I really thought that was it. But no. I started again for my birthday because I thought I could handle IT. But it turned out, IT has control. Not me. I ordered med from India. I really feel this is the answer. I cant do this without it. I appreciate knowing I am not alone. May God bless you in your new and exciting adventure🎉❤🎉
It has also worked for me, the cravings gone!!!!!!!
@@bevmillard4486have a Dr help you with withdrawal meds! It helps!!
Thank you for sharing this, I respect you for wanting to help others my husband had the vivitrol shot a month ago and he was sober for a week then he started drinking 😔but by watching your experience I will not loose hope God bless you!!
I feel like the pill is a better option because with the shot, it is most effect right after given and wanes over the course of the month. Much better to do the pill as needed so you have it at full strength at all times.
I had to tell my doctor that I wanted it. I only knew about it because I had a conversation with someone about opioid addiction, he mentioned they use Naltrexone in treatment and that his wife helped develop it. For some reason I started googling it…and was like no shit, it’s supposed to work for drinking too? If I had not met that random old man and never had that conversation, I’d still be drowning. Naltrexone saved my life. I did a lot of work too, but Naltrexone is my secret weapon.
How long have you been on it? Are you at extinction?
This is a wonder drug. Wish I asked my doctor for it sooner. Follow the Sinclair method, will make a huge difference in your life.
So happy to read this 🙏✨
Thank you so much for sharing. My story is similar in that I was sober for 7 years in AA and started again as my marriage was falling apart. The last 8 years have been very difficult. In and out of AA, drinking getting worse and not knowing what to do. I am 2 months into TSM and I am slowly starting to see some changes. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for this!
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for your sincerity and being so fucking real. Happy 2021!
Excellent testimony. I have been in Alanon for 6 years and learned about the Sinclair method several years ago. It is so hard to believe that this is not well known. My loved one is trying to slow down drinking on his own. But is open to the Sinclair Method at some point. Thx to you and Katie and Claudia for spreading the word.
I wish you and your loved one all the best❤️
Pls tell him him to get out of aa.
@@wheatstonebridge What makes you say that?
Thank you SO much. Fantastic video.
Thank you for sharing. Getting started tonight!
Thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you for your valuable response!
Thank you, Rachel
Hi this is very generous of you to share this. I find it helpful in my own drinking journey! Thanks!
You're so relatable,nice job.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing brave girl ❤
Thank you very much. This is my first week and you helped me a lot encouraging me to stick with it. You are very kind and i thank you very much for sharing your experience. You are nice and hope you have a nice life.
Thank you so much for talking about absolutely everything related to your experience with Naltrexone. Your video has been so helpful to me.
This is so Amazing!! Im starting on my healing journey
Great story!thank you!
So funny, I was wondering why I have been clenching my jaw all the sudden.😂
Thank you. I am calling my PCP tomorrow. So glad u shared this ❤
What a great video! I’m on it now and it worked for me also.Congrats to you.
Good advice. Thank you.
My God continue to bless you 🖤🙏
Glad to hear there is hope
Thanks for sharing...this is the best testimony I have seen so far. I am so encouraged. The graph is especially helpful to see that success is not linear, but definitely consistent over time if you stick with it. More people need to know about this solution.
I wish your videos translate to different languages you will be more and more blessed 🌹you’re saving lives
Thanks for sharing...
Proud of u. Long hard journey. Respect due lovely 🙌🙏
Thanks for being there for my journey and not throwing in the towel! It’s so hard on family, friends and loved ones. I’m glad you put faith in the science 🧬 It’s a bit crazy when a problem drinker tells you they need to drink to rewire their mind😂 #facts
@@ascendingwithrachellovell3239 I’ll admit the idea is def backwards compared to conventional “quitting ” thinking. However conventional methods don’t always equate to desired results. I didn’t have faith in the science, I had faith in u 💯
@13:29 "..and I knew at that moment that this was going to work, from the first pill I took" - Been drinking for 4 decades & understood for a long time what I would be up against if I ever decided to change my lifestyle. As like you, after the very first time experiencing Naltrexone w/alcohol I immediately understood that I had found the key to that door which now stood between me and alcohol. I can now choose if and when I want to open that door or lock it forever - This revelation happened pretty much instantly as well.
Thank you - You Beautiful Woman. You may have saved my life! Got doctors appointment next week.😍🥰
Good luck!! Wishing you the best. If we can support you at all I hope you’ll reach out 🤍 www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/
Congratulations 🎊
Well done, Rachel!!! 18:16 Spot on!!!
Thank you.
Thank you so much
i cant wait to start. I just got prescription from my GP. Will start after my surgery next week
Awesome 👏 happy for you. If you haven’t seen our course yet on the 10 most common TSM mistakes I’d recommend! Here’s a link for you 🤗 www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/10-mistakes-on-tsm
Thank you
Thanks!
thanks for this. Nowadays in the states it's covered by my basic insurance and it's $10 for 30 pills so THAT's not a deal-breaker down here. I loved hearing your experiences.
How are you doing now? Get my prescription in 2 days hopefully looking forward to it I really need this to work
@@Adrian-yi8fl ok HI!!! I"m doing SO GREAT! Listen, I still drink but only with friends at bars/parties now and not alone or at regular gatherings. This is a HUGE game changer for me! I didn't WANT to stop completely...I just wanted to be a social drinker and now i AM. I've gone from 40 - 60 drinks a week (depending on my weekend debauchery) to 0 - 15 drinks per week - again, depending on my weekends. I started out just taking the Nal and NOT trying to stop myself from drinking. I wanted to let the Nal take it's course and it did. It took about 3 weeks for me to slow down but the cool thing was that since I wasn't stressing about it, and was relying on the drug and time to slow me down, it was a very chill three weeks with no self -loathing. Then after three weeks, I had a few easy booze-less nights, along with a few nights without getting super drunk, and week after week, my cravings just got less and less. Lately, there's even been a few times when I've forgotten to take the Naltrexone and I STILL stopped wanting to drink after 3 drinks. that never use to happen to me before. I'm very happy where I am now but if I wanted to COMPLETELY quit, I know I could do it. Never thought I could EVER say that. Good luck to you! Also, don't worry if the Nal makes you sick the first few times. It did me and I just cut my dose in half for a week and THEN resumed with the full dose. I don't think it affects many others like that though. I'm rooting for ya!!!!!
thank you
You're so beautiful, thank you for sharing your story!
I started taking it on October 1st 2020 after getting in trouble for the last time bc of alcohol. Its like a switch has been turned off. The craving is gone for the first time since i was a teen. I dont feel like it. And like you said when i had 7 years sobriety before pandemic relapse, the itch was always there. The devil is off my chest.
This 🙌 just incredible 🥳
Its the METHOD
not the drug, that is unknown.
Exactly as stated here.
If you're drinking...take the pull, wait the hour, drink
💯
@@ascendingwithrachellovell3239 you spoke really well :)
I was shocked too... I had worked in AOD clinics and harm reduction clinics with counsellors and had never heard of the method.
After i did it, people who I knew were doing AA would say oh naltrexone, yeah that doesnt work for me. I'd say... but...did you do THE METHOD..
It was always a no and a refusal to try to understand
But that is usual, if someone you doesn't want to stop.
I relate in many ways to what you explain here. You get....sober... and your left with this kind of vacuum and all the issues that you were self medicating all those decades.
I had weird experiences with naltrexone at first including psychosis but ... it worked very quickly actually.
This was two years ago.
Christmas is difficult.
I don't feel like a drink
But... I want to drink
Anyway.
Thanks for sharing
@@HumanimalChannel Thank you! It’s definitely the opposite approach of AA and being a member for so many years I know the mentality in the program is that there’s only one way..there’s! I think that may come from fear based thinking and there’s no one size for all. The world is evolving and thank god we have this option because the success rate is much higher and we need all the solutions we can get!
I love the vacuum analogy, that’s definitely how I felt!! I think the relationship between alcohol and someone struggling with addiction is a very complex one! There’s a lot that needs to be unpacked after but what a gift to be able to have this life free from those chains!
Good luck over Xmas and best wishes for you in the future 🙏🌟
@@HumanimalChannel It doesn't work for everyone. I was on Sincliar (along with gabapentin) for over a year and all it did was mildly slow the progression of my addiction. I had to go into detox and now I'm on both gababpentin and Campral which is very effective in controlling cravings, but it doesn't work if you are currently drinking. But I was a much heavier drinker than Rachel. She was drinking 4 or so drinks a day. Definitely unhealthy, but I was drinking 15-20 drinks/day. I get it's not a contest, but even the fact that she was able to take multiple days off early in her treatment tells me she wasn't very physically dependant. But I'm happy that it worked for her.
@@bobbykay7334 yeah... it's 78% effective. Still miraculous.
Opposed to 5% under effort, at AA.
Sorry it didn't work for you.
It's hard to describe how it feels, to have the type of physical craving just ended.
It does leave you still Ei Th all the issues you had, that you drank to suppress or try to solve or ignore. That's been my struggle. It's a fix for alcohol use, not Life.
In some ways many things are harder for me now because drinking was part of my masking and coping. I'm two years sober.
Christmas is hard. Probably the toughest time
Im Tempted to drink but I don't because...my brain doesn't desire it and knows it won't be 'successful' I don't get the escape I want.
Any one giving up addictions, however they do it or whatever the addiction is, needs to be sure to be prepared for what is exposed beneath. What is raw. Unhealed and painful.
Wishing you a happy safe Christmas Bobby, well done for everything you've achieved so far. Wishing you all the best.
Thank you for sharing. Who coached you through all this? How did you learn how to do this?
Hi! We have a private online program that coaches people through this treatment 🤗 www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/
Marry me. Just starting this. Fortunately, the VA is paying for this Med. Can't wait, for 40 years in and out of every treatment center etc. No one ever told me about this. Again, Marry Me.
Wish I could talk to you. Thx for this video.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi! thank you for sharing. If taken after breakfast daily, can it protect you during the rest of the day?
Naltrexone is less effective if taken each morning. You want the concentration of Nal in the brain to be at it's max strength when you drink , 1 hour after taking the pill ... watch the documentary called One Little Pill on the Sinclair Method. Alcohol changes our brain by learning is all. TSM will help you change it back. Tons of info on TH-cam.
Following this protocol it should be taken 1-2 hours before drinking. How are you doing now? www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/the-sinclair-method
Please can you talk about naltrexone shots please and how much it cost
Please
I've heard naltrexone shots are about $1k/month. The doctors I know recommend the pill over the shot since it's in a targeted dose following the Sinclair Method. That's what I know....
The pill is only about $2 each and they can be more effective than the $1000 shot, if used correctly and consistently.
Rachel, I would appreciate and value your time if you would talk to me about Naltrexone. My pattern so far is becoming very similar to yours, but instead of alcohol, it's Adderall (or any of the amphetamines). And I can struggle with black and white (all or nothing) thinking. For example, if the Naltrexone isn't immediately causing me to take my ADHD meds as prescribed, then it's not working at all types of cognitive distortions. Is there a way I can contact you in some way directly?
hi! I'll try to put you in touch with her. WHat's your email?
@@thrivealcoholrecovery I will send a contact forum on your Thrive website, with my name, email, and message. The top of the message will say ‘ATTN: Rachel’
@@thrivealcoholrecovery Will you please coordinate this with your team, for Rachel to be on the lookout for that message stating with ATTN: Rachel?
Can you use it if you want to stop all and any drinking at once? Like not how you use it to drink less i.e: taking it an hour before drinking
It's the process, of drinking without the reward(which is what naltrexone takes away), that causes TSM to work so well. It inhibits the addiction forming chemicals from being released, and over time, your brain forgets it was addicted to alcohol. So without all three, taking the pill then waiting an hour and then drinking, it will not work as intended.
How long does it take to kick in I’ve been taking it for 10 days and I have drank more within those 10 days than before so what’s going on here
Hello, this method really needs time to work! It’s a long-term treatment protocol and for most of us we see gradual changes little by little overtime. I hope that helps you have the right expectations. It’s also important to meet the Method halfway overtime by gradually changing habits and finding new coping tools. If you’d like to access private online support for the treatment protocol, here is a link to our website where you can learn more. www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/
Do you take the pill every day even when you are not drinking?
Not unless you have cravings
following The Sinclair Method, the medication is only taken 1 hour before drinking. It. is not taken on non-drinking days. I hope that helps!
@@thrivealcoholrecovery Thanks!
Take a pill wait a hr then drink ur drink though the pills was supposed to help u stop
you should have kept going to AA and stay off youtube
Haha no thanks I'm all good :) There more options we have to help people, the better! AA is great for some, but not for everyone.
Thank you!
Thank you
