Like so many alcoholics I've tried everything from rehab to mega-supplements to therapy and the only thing they were successful at were emptying my wallet and diminishing my hope. The Sinclair Method which Dr. Eskapa's brilliant book so clearly explains will revolutionize the addiction field--it is curing alcoholics globally and saving lives. For the first time in my adult life I am not a slave to alcohol and my desire to drink is diminishing on a weekly basis (just like Dr. Eskapa said it would in his book).
This cure is such a miracle that I am shocked it is getting so little attention and it made me angry enough to do something about it. I have a background in app development, so I created an informative, instructional app called, The Little Miracle Pill that Cures Alcohol Addiction and I started a blog charting my naltrexone journey, so fellow alcoholics can get a glimpse at the process (The Adventures of ToxicGirl). It is my serious intention and goal to spread the word about this life-saving cure globally. Alcoholics should not suffer one more day.
Lastly, in my opinion everyone in the recovery field has a moral responsibility to educate themselves about The Sinclair Method and offer it as an option to anyone struggling with alcoholism. It should not be kept in the dark.

Naltrexone, which was approved by the FDA in 1994 to combat alcoholism, is amazing. When taken at least an hour before consuming alcohol, it blocks the brain's opioid receptors, thereby "retraining" the brain and ending one's addiction to alcohol. It has been studied widely, at such institutions as Yale, and has been shown to have an 85% success rate for curing alcoholism. No therapy, group meetings, or difficult abstinence required. After three to four months, the patient will have been freed of their alcohol addiction and at that point can choose either to easily remain abstinent or drink at safe and responsible levels with the continued use of Naltrexone at least an hour before consuming alcohol. I had tried everything I could think of, from AA to in patient rehab and feared I would never succeed. I had struggled with alcoholism for many years, as have many family members, and after consulting with my doctor, I began taking Naltrexone. Today, for the first time in many, many years, I can say alcohol no longer dominates my life. I am no longer obsessed with thoughts of it, and can "take it or leave it."

One could probably successfully promote a pet product or cause without insulting a similiar product.
For instance calling the program of AA "voodoo" which relies on "superstition"....is that really necessary ?
Anyone who is familiar with AA knows that there's a lot of work involved in remaining sober.
It demands a thorough self assessment of personality flaws, guilts, fears and other triggers
of substance abuse.
The very idea of using a drug to "cure" oneself of alcohol/drug abuse is the antithesis
of AA.
I'm responding to the reviews of this book. I haven't read it. Perhaps it's unfair of me to
comment on it, but I will anyhow. I don't believe it will work longterm.
The public is flooded with "Get ----- quick" gimmicks. Get rich quick. Get thin quick. Learn a language quick. etc.
Laziness ?
So I can drink myself silly while taking a pill and BINGO !, I'm sober.
Think I'll stick with AA.

It's always amazed me how so many doctors will actually tell patients that they need to turn to God and AA to control problem drinking. Yes, it's a VERY challenging issue, but these men are supposed to be scientists in the twenty first century. Finally, an approach that takes the superstition out of the equation. I have been coaching friends in this method and am quite impressed. The book is not particularly well written, but it's good enough.
If you simply cannot accept the hocus-pocus cult mentality for dealing with your problems, you should give this a shot.

OK, so if you're anything like me, you've read maybe hundreds of reviews and probably bought more than one book on how to quit drinking. But after you read those books, all they did was tell you how to think differently, and, hallelujuha, you're cured. But here you are, drinking again and now you're more desperate than ever to find a real cure. You may have almost given up, but I have great news for you - read this book and take a cheap pill - and keep drinking - and you will suddenly find that you no longer crave a drink. Sounds impossible right? Well it's not - THIS ABSOLUTELY WORKS.
This book is indeed 'The Cure'. It describes what I've realized is truly a miracle... it's what the world must hear about, and I'm somewhat saddened that this is not the mainstream method yet. I understand why rehab clinics and others may never want the vast majority of us to hear about this (it's far too cheap and 'idiot-proof'), but 'secrets' like this have a way of getting out.
Don't spend another cent on rehab, self-help books, or even therapy (well, therapy can't hurt, but you don't actually need it). So I'll quit dancing around what you're probably wondering about - if you haven't already read it in other reviews. Basically, as the book describes much more thoroughly, alcohol is a behavior learned by the brain after years of drinking in which endorphins are released within the brain that are bound to opioid receptors. Over time, this is reinforced over and over again until... (drumroll), a human being is addicted to alcohol.
The miracle described by this book is that when naltrexone - a very cheap and accessible drug - is taken one hour before consuming alcohol, a biological process called extinction occurs and reverses the effects of "alcoholism" - and you lose those cravings that may have devastated your life. Within 4 months or so, most people (90% +) find that they no longer crave alcohol. Try getting that kind of success rate in a rehab clinic, where you still have cravings the entire time and you are almost guaranteed to relapse.
I used to drink about 10 drinks or more a night, whether I wanted to or not. Before long after starting Naltrexone as described, I was down to 4 or 5 drinks a few times a week - that alone was a major change in my life. Now, after about 4 months, I drink about once every week or two, 2 or 3 drinks max - I simply can't drink any more and I don't want to. Often I throw away the first drink (impossible before)! I think that at this point for me I'm on the verge of stopping drinking entirely. Even if I never quit completely (not likely), a couple drinks a week or less is a miracle compared to what I used to drink.
Despite all the good intentions of other books, etc, no other resource has been able to remove the alcohol craving for me until this. The science behind this is undeniable. And it describes why no amount of trying to talk yourself out of drinking will produce lasting results.
I hope I haven't oversold this, but I truly think that this book is life and world-changing. When I think of the millions of people who are desperately looking for a way to reverse the grip alcohol has on them, I am saddened that they apparently haven't heard of this yet. But the good news is that you have, and now your future is back in your hands. Welcome back to your life!
