Tsm the Sinclair method -scam?

[Hotdiggity766]

I've researched and signed up to the Sinclair method this weekend. I'm scared, but desperate after years of drinking and knowing I can't abstain, each year I just get worse, I know I can't get better, or at least I can't see it, it's been more than 10years now. I've just sent £449 to a Joanna from Sinclair. The trust pilot review look good. But I have to wait 5-7 days for them to contact me. Worried but desperate... Anyone had success?

@TheMauveCrow thanks for your update. Do you still take naltrexone (how many milligrams btw) on drinking days or have you stopped taking it now?

Well done on your success

I've started the Sinclair Method a week or so ago and it's mostly going well in that I've cut right down, just having a 1/2 glass of wine after taking the medication to try to retrain my brain. But I'm having some unpleasant side effects although I'm only taking half a tablet - I feel quite anxious on it and for the first couple of days cried a lot and even had thoughts of self harm although luckily those went away. Also struggled to go to sleep although that, too, has gotten better. Although I think the meds are also stifling my enjoyment of food as well as drink, which is slightly unfortunate as it makes everything feel a bit flat.

I'm slightly going against the advice though by allowing myself one day a week on Saturday when I have a couple of glasses of wine and don't take the pill. I feel the need for some sort of joy in my life, as long as it's in a managed way. So far this is working fine and I'm sticking to the method at all other times. Please don't judge if you reply - I'm doing the best I can and what seems to work for me.
