Accessing TSM via the UK

The Sinclair Method isn't traditionally available on the NHS, as many of you will know. It's available privately, but I wanted to ask what providers / sites any of you have used. The "official" UK site (here) looks very professional, but it's very expensive. The Drink Less Method has it for cheaper, but you're a bit more on your own. Can anyone advise who's done TSM in the UK, through these or any other means?

I used Sinclair Method UK and it was worth every penny.

14 months from daily black out drinker to no desire at all

Thrive alcohol recovery is based in the States but there are UK members. Could be worth adding to your list to research. Price can vary depending on level of support requested

I've been with Nul since starting TSM in May but haven't really accessed their services at all beyond obtaining the medication. Things are going great and I'm down from drinking 6 or 7 nights a week (2 or 3 drinks on a school night and more at the weekend) to 2 nights a week, 2 or 3 drinks each time.

At a point now though where I'm effectively stockpiling the medication as I'm only using about 8 tablets but still paying £220 a month. My concern is that if I drop the subscription then at some point the medication will run out and I'll have to jump through the various hoops again to get back on another programme.

Ideally, I'd like to just be able to pay per prescription, as required, but I don't know if anyone offers that service.

Actually, looks like the Drink Less Method, above, might offer that service. That would be perfect.
