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!

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!
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.

Great information!
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.
