I'm a highly functional drunk. Most nights it's from 10-12 beers or equivalent in wine or hard liquor plus I would smoke weed while I drank. Then some nights I just get really drunk and stoned. I would need to drink a 6 pack at night even after a bad hangover that left me couch ridden all day just to get to sleep. Very seldom has drinking stopped me from doing what I needed to get done. ...

I'm a highly functional drunk. Most nights it's from 10-12 beers or equivalent in wine or hard liquor plus I would smoke weed while I drank. Then some nights I just get really drunk and stoned. I would need to drink a 6 pack at night even after a bad hangover that left me couch ridden all day just to get to sleep. Very seldom has drinking stopped me from doing what I needed to get done. I hit the gym to keep in shape and can run a 5K at anytime. I've used this for the last 20 years to justify to myself that my habit wasn't a big problem. . I've not even hit the so-called "rock bottom" circumstances such as getting a DUI or embarrassing myself like those weekend drunks seem to do all the time. Even when I go to parties I wait until after to get my full buzz on. I would never stay too late and never allowed people to stay at my place. Ok, In hind-sight I've come to realize I was still buzzed at work on Monday morning and know people noticed(I asked a close friend this last week out of curiosity) My reasons for quitting was vanity. I just wanted to lose a little weight with my co-workers. Everyone else has been making progress and I realized by my drinking high calorie beer it was not going to happen. I tried to just cut-back to 5 light beers a night but was astonish to realize I couldn't. Maybe that was/is my "rock bottom". So I asked my doctor for help and she prescribed naltrexone. I've been on the meds for a week without any craving at all for booze or weed. However today I got a chance to sleep in and now enjoying all the nausea and exhaustion of a hangover without the trouble of drinking the mass quantities the night before. I could just be worn-out, it was tough week at work. I'll keep at it for now and see where it goes. Besides, I never was a cheap drunk and always smoked medical grade weed (Green Card Carrier) so the saving are an added benefit. Today I'm giving the kids $40 to do my part of the housework and will spend the day reading a book. Overall

I was drinking up to half a handle a day of vodka over the course of ten years. I had tried quitting four times and only got as far as two weeks. Once Naltrexone was prescribed my desire for alcohol vanished. I had I decreased appetite, began eating larger portioned meals (when I did eat) yet still lost weight.

I was drinking up to half a handle a day of vodka over the course of ten years. I had tried quitting four times and only got as far as two weeks. Once Naltrexone was prescribed my desire for alcohol vanished. I had I decreased appetite, began eating larger portioned meals (when I did eat) yet still lost weight. I'm currently on day 85 of sobriety, the longest I've gone without alcohol in my adult life. I still think about drinking but no longer have the urge to feel buzzed. more so I just reminisce those days and kinda look back and feel ashamed. My mood is SOO much better, my mind is clearer, and i've been very productive! My skin has begun to look and feel more healthy and others have noticed too. that's proboly more so from the absence of the vodka. Naltrexone works for me, defiantly recommend it!

Tonight will take 12.5 mg again.I will keep on with this in hopes the horrible side effects will go away soon.

I've been using it for about a week now and still drink, but I feel/KNOW that my tolerance level has decrease significantly. I used to go through a 9-15 pack of 16 oz. beers a day. Now? I drank 5 today and don't want any more and I have a buzz that feels like I'd drank my normal amount. Time will tell, but it seems to be having a positive effect as of the time I'm writing this. ...
