I'm back AGAIN

[dexterhead]

Hello all, another raging alcoholic back for another try. I've been through some very challenging stuff (job loss, pet death) in the last six months or so; now I have finally started a pretty decent job and my main goal is cutting back and then quitting.

A couple months ago I finally sought medical attention for my problem and they were concerned about me quitting cold turkey. About a liter and a half of wine a night, although that has dropped since I started working again. I have been taking Naltrexone, but stopped about a week ago because I could not longer pay for it and my insurance hasn't kicked in. I had a "honeymoon" period when I first started it 3-4 months ago, but since then, little affect.

Any advice would be wonderful. I have loved this group for a long time. :thanks:

I'm back AGAIN

Hi there. Glad that you are back. I tried Nal but didn't have much luck with it. I'm currently taking Antabuse and that works for me. Takes the drinking right out of the equation. I'm also spending a lot of time here. Plus, working on different things to improve my life. I'm still taking it a step at a time. But, I'm definitely here to give you support. :l

You made a good decision to come back here. Together we can heal. I couldn't fight the compulsion to drink until I found baclofen. It really works for me. I have a complete indifference to AL. You can buy it from LoOp who is on this site. You can get sober and stay that way. I know you can!
