i started TSM more than 3 years ago n felt the benefits almost immediately n my drinking decreased dramatically. then the love of my life committed suicide during the pandemic n my life became very dark. i continued TSM off n on but committed myself to finally overcome AUD a month ago. based on your advice, I observed how felt while drinking with nal n realized the "excitement" of drinking wasn't there anymore n i was just chasing the buzz to forget about my beautiful n kind girlfriend. I will never forget her but my life needs to move on.
i think i reached extinction tonight. today is the first day i haven't been drunk in a long time and I had no desire to get drunk. I slowly drank 3 cans of beer just to minimize withdrawal symptoms tomorrow morning. yesterday night, I drank as usual but realized the buzz wasn't fun anymore with nal. hopefully, I will continue down this new path. thank you so much for your informative channel. please keep up the great work in spreading the awareness n effectiveness of TSM
Thanks Katie, I appreciate all of your work on these!!
Thank you Katie, I dip in and out of your videos- and find them really helpful! I’ve been on the TSM method for about 3 months now and your videos and your enthusiasm and empathy for other on this journey is really helpful , I thank you for that! It’s not just about taking the pill - it’s also about wanting to change ! And all your advice and information really is helpful 🙏
Thank you for leaving such a kind comment! Glad the videos have been helpful. I've been where you are so I know how it feels....stick with it and get excited about your future self 🙏
I have not been drunk one time and have not had more than 2 glasses of wine in the 8 days since starting TSM. I was a binge drinker when i battled with AUD. I would drink to drunkeness on beer 2 or 3 times a week and have 1 bottle of whisky on the weekends and could not stop once opened until i passed out. I am quitting hard alcohol along side the TSM and the cravings are near zero now thanks to it. my end goal is to be a normal thinker and drinker in the sense that having a glass of wine with dinner on OCCASION or having a glass of Champagne at a new years eve event or something would be something i could do. still a bit fuzzy on if that would be realistic or not any idea? =))))))
That's absolutely the choice that TSM will give you back, once you have reached extinction.
As long as you continue to take the medication between 60-90 mins prior to your first drink, you can drink like a "normal" drinker.
TSM is for life, as long as you continue to drink.
@@stevecooper7038 WOW. this method never ceases to profoundly move me. I am so fortunate I found this wonderful community and new lease on life. Thank you for your answer.
I was also finishing a fifth of whiskey every weekend before taking Naltrexone. Most weekdays I would drink 16 ounces of wine, which would get me plenty drunk. During my first week I had a bit of alcohol on two separate occasions. I no longer found wine appealing, but whiskey and coke still tastes really good. Gawd! Just mentioning it makes me want one.
I’ve tried the whole “harm reduction” thing in the past with not much success. Granted that was without Naltrexone.
I’ve ultimately decided to be a teetotaler. Naltrexone is helping me to not drink. The urges are much easier to resist. Last weekend I had an overnight party with friends including a concert. Everyone was drinking except me. There were various forms of cannabis available at arm’s reach. I resisted all of it and still had a fun time. I prefer this soberness to my usual behavior of getting wasted and passing out.
My question is. Somedays, u r not sure if u can have an alcohol free day. So, is it okay if i take the pill and then not drink.
coz, when the craving hits, it usually is not easy to wait for one hour after the pill. and sometimes, u r not sure if u want alcohol or not.
yes! in my opinion, it is okay to take naltrexone and not drink. better to take it without drinking...than to drink without it.
Agree 💯
I felt it was working in the first week... But going into 2 weeks.. I'm still daily drinking.. I've cut out vidca it's now white wine.. N 0 Alcohol beer. How long does it take?
It took me 9 months to reach extinction. That’s about average! Time is your friend with the method. Check out this video we have which will help you understand what to expect www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/10-mistakes-on-tsm
I lost my Beloved to alcohol. He died in a drowning accident 4 days before Christmas, because he relapsed after 3 weeks of sobriety. Pulling crab pots during the bitter cold, in a small aluminum UNSTABLE rowboat, coated in ice, while glassy eyed from alcohol, is NOT the most conducive situation for longevity. This happened in the wee hours of December 20th, 2008. I have YET to get my feet back under me. In 2012, I got involved with a Russian Physicist, who was even MORE of a chronic drinker. That same year, my dad died of mesothelioma, and I was his primary caregiver. At 49, I was still only an occasional drinker. 2 or 3 Smirnoff Ices, a couple times a week, TOPS, just so I could tolerate being around the Russian drunkard. He got himself deported in 2013, and I moved in with Mom, so she wasn't all alone.
Mom and Dad were "COLLECTORS". Nothing specific. Just interesting and useful things that might come in handy one day. Their 30'x60' unfinished daylight basement was filled to the rafters with bins and boxes and things they couldn't bear to discard. I set about to clear some of it out, so I could build a room for myself; but it was slow going, and terribly overwhelming. Less than 10% of it was actually mine (mostly boxed books, waiting 'til I could make a place to put them). The rest of it belonged to my parents and my sister, and they had no interest in assisting me. I'm a bit of a 'collector' myself, and it's HARD to part with things, especially useful ones. So, to facilitate the cleanup, I found that if I rewarded myself with a dixie cup of Moscato wine, every time I made the tough decision to toss or donate something, it got easier, and easier to make that decision to toss or donate things, as a day wore on. My progress helped me stay motivated to keep slogging away at it over the course of the Summer. Early September, I noticed that I'd gained almost 30 lbs, so I switched to vodka. THAT's where it got away from me. I can't remember how many times I ended up in Emergency for x-rays, or stitches. I'm prone to falling, ANYWAY; being in my cups just increases those chances exponentially. Plus, it was such a PAIN to always plan/prepare to NEVER run out. I despise the withdrawal; and, for me, it's pretty significant even when just ONE starts to wear off (headache and general discomfort, coupled with a powerful thirst for more).
By the time I was pushing 54, I KNEW that I couldn't afford any more falls, sprained ankles, broken ribs, facial stitches, or tailbone fractures; so, I put myself on a strict gradual reduction program. Each day, I'd carefully measure out the equal portions that I allowed myself to consume every 4 hours, and I gradually reduced the amounts over about a week. By the time I finished the last of that last half-gallon. I'd managed to detox with minimal discomfort. I just didn't really go anywhere except the hardware store over the next few months. From our house, it's a 40-minute drive to the nearest place that sells alcohol, so it was easy to resist. I stayed sober, on my own, without much effort, for the next almost 5 years. Mom died in my arms this last February 2022. So far, it still takes me about 4 days to drink a box of wine. I carefully measure out what I allow myself daily. It's made all the legal paperwork, liquidating the estate, as well as writing her obituary, her eulogy, and taking care of her funeral arrangements, INFINITELY more bearable.
A couple of months ago, I was given a magnified vanity mirror for my 59th birthday. That's when I noticed an ABUNDANCE of spider veins and prominently visible capillary networks all over my nose cheeks and chin. A few weeks ago, a blue/black bump appeared on the end of my nose. It looked just like the pictures of basal cell carcinoma. My doctor checked it and told me that it's a 'veinous lake'... Basically, it's a small protruding VERICOSE VEIN, just below the skin on my NOSE. You say I need to know my "Why"? I've GOT my "WHY". I REALLY don't want to resemble WC Fields. Who cares if it's because of vanity? That motivated me perfectly fine the first time around. NOW all I need to figure out is the HOW. I'm unemployed (because I couldn't leave Mom's side for almost 8 years), and I'm on Medicare. TSM, isn't exactly cheap, and Medicare balks at any treatment that's too new, or expensive. I DO know it works for me though. I got ahold of a handful of Naltrexone, a few years ago, and it was LIBERATING to be able to drink a glass of champagne (OK, TWO) at my friend's wedding, without feeling compelled to 'sneak' more for the rest of the night. I ended up using the others over the next few years, because Mom REALLY liked to share a toast with someone at the toll of the New Year, and I was always the one who was home with her (but hey, at least I had plenty of lead time to take the pill; and as a result, never had the impulse to finish off the bottle). I'm ready to stop, one way or another. I WILL too. At least until it's in front of me again, then 'Phtt!' I'll probably end up right back at square one. It would be so much easier with the help of proper medication...
Wow....your story is very powerful. What a difficult journey you have had. Thank you for sharing. I am sincerely wishing you the best. If you need more naltrexone at an affordable price, there are more options today than ever before. cthreefoundation.org/
