I've been an alcoholic for 25 years or more. No denial or anything like that. I acknowledge to anyone. I think I've learned more about myself in the last 21 minutes than any other time before!
Right now Naltrexone is life changing for me. I started only 2 days sober, and ive been trying to quit but kept relapsing. I have a very addictive personality and will turn anything into an obsession. So far not only have I not cared about alcohol, i also have given up my shopping and junk food addiction as well as my constant nail biting. I feel less anxious than ever in my life. I cried yesterday because i truly feel like this is what will finally help me heal other mental health issues properly
My problem is what he just said at 15:10... it's for both plus pain relief. Not too many things do all 3 things. The other thing is I can moderate it, where the pills are either too strong or not strong enough.
I’m just starting to learn about the Sinclair method. My psych gave me Naltrexone on the once daily schedule but we honestly didn’t talk too much about my habits or why I drink. I’m not sure he knows about this method but it makes perfect sense. I’m going to try using it this way… I know I will be compliant because I so want to stop the addiction and obsessing over alcohol. And, I my boyfriend will support me by asking “did you take your pill?” when I’m going to drink. I’m hoping this method can be my cure. Going to watch every other video you’ve produced and I’m about 1/4 ways through the book.

This was very insightful! Thanks for explaining this important aspect of the medication/protocol. I want to add something as someone who currently takes naltrexone on a sort of modified TSM protocol per my Dr. Drugs that help you with anxiety, specifically benzodiazepines should be treated with extreme caution if you are using them. When you come off of them they can cause protracted withdrawal which is so extremely painful and difficult to go through. One can then knowingly or accidentally in a sense, band aid the benzo withdrawal with alcohol or vise versa and back and forth, since they both act on GABA receptors, hence the calming effect of both. I have first hand experience with this and I don't think it's talked about enough with many doctors to patients. My previous doctor knew full well I drank alcohol when prescribing me. It's very scary and super dangerous and more people should be aware, to prevent misuse of both benzodiazepines and alcohol.
I'm a dopamine drinker. It's taken me 30 years to figure this out thanks to this video. I used to run long distances, like 50 miles a week. I was addicted to dopamine that came with running. Eventually, in my later 20's, I ran so much that my body just broke. So, I started drinking from depression of not being able to run. Like the Dr. said those first 3 drinks gave me the high I got from running then it would go away and I continue to drink to get that affect back and it doesn't work, just turns into a sedative. This video may have been a lifesaver for me. Thank you!
Feel like this is utterly me! It’s only for the dopamine hit. But now feel like shit and need a drink to function. The guilt make me drink, oddly. Hate that I’m so lazy:/ Gonn try this…

Are you considering naltrexone and the Sinclair method? This treatment is what I used and it totally changed my life. It helped me to gradually reduce my drinking overtime and also completely eliminated my craving for alcohol overtime. I haven’t drank in over six years things to this treatment simply because I don’t want to. If you’re not familiar with it, I definitely encourage you to look into it!

I found that the key is to not wait until you have a craving but to go ahead and do an alcohol treatment before you get into a bad spot.

This is EXACTLY how I feel after 3-4 drinks. Makes me feel productive. So if I DONT drink, i feel lazy.
What side effects can give naltrexon
For me, the only thing I get is some fatigue. It's worth it.
Why replace one drug with another?
Light insomnia and light bad dreams the first few weeks are possible. Then it goes away.
@@judithhannon619it’s non narcotic and no withdrawal after stopping at all

What do I do?? I need help. I know it sounds like BS, but I truly don’t want to drink. But worried about sudden withdrawal. Where do I start?
either go to detx or just drink less and less each day and you won't go through withdrawal. I'm speaking from experience.

For me my doctor gave it to me and I'm not an alcoholic or drug addict and it really made me sicker than a dog like I thought I was going to die
Why were you prescribed naltrexone?
If you are not an alcoholic, why was this prescribed for you?
Trauma ppl who drink to escape
