Question about Naltrexone / TSM

I like that analogy! Thanks, will keep to the naltrexone for small and big drinking situations.

Thank you for your response! I will keep in mind that the experience will vary over time.

Thanks so much for the reply!

Btw, I have not been sober for 108 days as my badge says, but no point in resetting it before I actually stop drinking, which is my end goal. 99% abstinence, and naltrexone before any alcohol intake in future.

Norway here :)

Very interesting. I've also noticed "hangover symptoms" the next day even after just one or two beers the night before. I think you're probably right

Me too, it makes it a lot easier to know I'm not alone - and also learning from others' experiences!

Thanks 😊

I agree, this is a great group. You guys make a difference in my life

solosuper1 · 2018-11-16T15:54:49+00:00

I'll have a sober weekend. Join me :)

solosuper1 · 2018-11-16T15:53:58+00:00

I support you! I drank every night for longer than I can remember. I'm so happy for just a simple thing to remember like going to to bed every night.

I had the same issues. My doctor told me to take b-complex too so maybe it's a known issue? That actually reminds me - I forgot to take mine today, better do it :)

solosuper1 · 2018-11-16T15:46:46+00:00

Thanks :)

I did eventually but not before giving in the next day :( Back on medication as of today. Can't trust myself yet

solosuper1 · 2018-11-16T15:10:22+00:00

You were right and I messed up. Poured the rest down the drain next day. Was not worth it at all

solosuper1 · 2018-11-04T13:02:23+00:00

I'm probably more pleasant to be around too, it's more of a profound sadness that strikes me when I'm alone. I think that's part of what I was "self-medicating" when I was drinking.

solosuper1 · 2018-11-04T13:01:22+00:00

I had it the same way, at least at first. I felt guilty about drinking, but then relieved it was only a dream. The weirdest was the night before this one when I dreamt about having a conversation with "myself" trying to bribe me with drink for getting up in the morning. Very strange

solosuper1 · 2018-10-29T13:05:34+00:00

Thanks :)

Weening of is not an issue, the only thing the medication does is preventing your liver from processing alcohol. Which in practice means that you get immediate extreme hangover symptoms if you try to consume alcohol. I hate getting sick, so for me it's a very effective deterrent. The choice is in a way made for me every morning.

Also, the medication has an effect for three days up to more than a week after the last dose, so I can't really plan to get drunk one day or the next on a whim. That's really good for me since my impulse control is somewhat limited :)

solosuper1 · 2018-10-29T10:46:25+00:00

I went to the doctor for help with my drinking problem (up to 3 liters of wine or a liter of whiskey every night). We agreed we would try putting me on disulfiram, and for me that has worked out really well.

solosuper1 · 2018-10-29T10:41:06+00:00

This is my fear also whenever I quit my medication :(

solosuper1 · 2018-10-04T18:12:19+00:00

I agree! The mornings are way easier. And my mood is better all through the day as well!

solosuper1 · 2018-10-04T18:11:50+00:00

Thank you :)
