Addiction & Recovery

Because of it I am on Naltrexone. According to the article and my doctor it has about an 80% success rate. I felt it the first evening I tried it... the feeling of getting drunk.... more accurately the manic/frantic need to have a nearly full drink in my hands at all times was gone then later diminished and I was/am able to drink.

That was 8-ish months ago and my drinking is still reduced but I still drink a good deal, it began increasing after two months on the drug, and feel that it may no longer be serving a purpose That said, until I reach the level of consumption I had before using it I hope that it is working.
