Another chance

After 6 years one of my sisters has contacted me. But I'm terrified I will mess it all up again.

After years of drinking I'm well aware that my health is deteriorating and I should stop anyway but this is my chance to get back some family. I'm just scared I can't do it and there won't be a third chance.

I'm feeling miserable at the prospect of an alcohol free future but so want to make amends. I've found it impossible to get medication and found ARC useless, are there any other options?

    Kelly, get in touch with Joanna from C3 Europe. Someone in your NHS area is responsible for prescribing Nalmefene if not Naltrexone. Look under The Sinclair Method on this link:

    https://patient.info/forums/discuss/useful-resources-487627

    You'll see a link to C3Europe and there will be a "Contact" tab on that site. C3E can help you navigate the "system" in place in your area and tell you who is responsible for prescribing Nalmefene.
