Gyco, my poet friend!!! Oney's right, action is the answer. We can look forever into the bottom of a bottle, but actually taking your life and problem into your own hands gives you a double satisfaction; you got help, and found you COULD do it!!! SO PROUD!!!!

Gyco, I DO want you to know I look forward to seeing your posts. You ruffle feathers with your blunt way of looking at things sometimes, but I know you are honest and only say what you really live. That's what we should all be about, honesty, and for many that's the hardest. Your story of you day makes me feel like I was there, and I'm so happy you took the right path. I've watched you grow here. I hope your loved ones can see how your struggle is now coming to it's fruition, that you are learning and reaching out for the right help. Good on you, mate!

thankyou

You did Great .... my Friend.
The Nal has stopped me 3 times in the past from having a small slip turning into a full blown relapse. I have heard others say the same thing. When I take it I get a sickening feeling in my GUT at the very thought of Alcohol of any kind...works for me when I have a time of weakness sorta like a crutch if i sprain my ankle...helps me keep moving forward and not falling on my BUTT !!
I have never used Nal long term. Baclofen was the med that worked for long term anti cravings. It seems to be the best for me (anyway)...

Gyco, I am so damn proud of you my buddy! You hit a bad patch and you dealt with it. Huge :l to you.

Well Done Gyco!!!

Thats brilliant- the Naltrexone will give you a feeling of security for the future, I'm sure.

I don't like drugs either, but sometimes we need a bit of help with this

Gyco,

I'm so glad you posted today. Good luck with the Nal, I firmly believe in whatever kind of help works.

Take care of yourself, you're great,
