I am a 51 year old wife, teacher and mother of 2. I have a 21 year old son and a 25 year old daughter. New intro...I am sober and love it! It isn't always easy but it is always worth it! Old intro...I am fighting this damn drug called alcohol. I have been a weekend binge drinker for 30 years. I binge 2-3 times a month on a Friday or Saturday, but alcohol kicks my butt every single day of my life. I am sick of it!

hesitantly optimistic
Last weekend I think the naltrexone was working. I did have 3 beers on Friday, but just about the time I would be in that "I need more " stage, I just stopped drinking. I still hung out with my friends, but switched to seltzer and called it an early night. Saturday we went out to dinner and I had one glass of wine. My dh went to a neighbors after we got home but I stayed, home watched tv with my ds and went to bed. The naltrexone makes me feel a little crappy the next day but not nearly as bad as a hangover. We will see..

It would be best to closely observe the side effects of the naltrexone. But it’s nice that it at least removed the urge to drink past a certain point, and that’s a good way to start. I’ve always thought going cold turkey would raise more problems than solutions, but I guess it really depends on a person’s approach. Thanks for sharing!
