Science marches on, lulumrg. What was once incurable is now merely a nuisance. Except, of course, for those who hold on so tightly to their dogma that they refuse to be cured.

I am a clinical psychiatrist. When I heard about this I thought, "This can't work. It is too good to be true. But I tried it and it does work very well about 75% of people who try it. It is also extremely inexpensive. No detox. No hospitalization cost. The medicine went generic years ago. You must buy this book and read it with an open mind. It only fails in 12% of people who give it a chance.

@lulumrg1 Oh, I get it, instead of asking the research scientists whose cure for alcoholism is supported by hard evidence provided in 100 clinical trials, I should turn instead to the people who think their imaginary friend is the only hope. Tell me, do all the people in A.A. trust God exclusively when they get cancer, or diabetes, or apendicitis, and refuse medical treatment? If not, why not? You're advocating doing precisely that in the case of alcoholism, when a cure now exists. Ridiculous.

I started using this method about 1 year ago at the time of this post and my drinking is down to very low levels now (2 beers per week). I was a "hopeless drunk", tried AA, SOS, RR, even AT. Nothing worked, except this treatment. It takes many months before you even notice a change, so discouragement is a battle people need to be ready to address. Then suddenly, it happens; you're cured. It's an amazing method that I hope will become the treatment of choice in the future.

I had been an alcoholic since my young 20's. I used AA to get sober for various lengths of time, with the longest and most recent being 12 yrs.

In early Jan 2009 I started the Sinclair Method using Naltrexone and by June I declared victory.

I rarely drink now but when I do, I pop a Nal in my mouth first. Now, for me, one drink is not a land mine. If I take the Nal first, it is actually a cure.

We might as well just give up then.

Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. There is no cure for alcoholism. Just ask the millions who are in the fellowship of A.A. Find out how many of them have tried that! It doesnt work.
