    New member, 1st day

    "]Hi everyone,
    I just found this site, by chance or destiny. I have been drinking for many years, getting increasing out of control. Drinking till the bottle's all gone, almost every day, many times starting in the morning, blacking out, etc. Yesterday I finally went to a Dr that was recommended for people with drinking problems. We talked about the 4 drugs available and both decided on the naxtrexone. I am encouraged by reading this site and especially the threads about people using this drug. I took the 2nd dose (50 mg this morning. ) I havent set up my profile or anything yet. I figure I should just jump in the pool and fill out stuff when I have time.
    My goal is not really abs, but to be able to be a social drinker. I'm glad to see that this is a possibility. I think it might be easier to actually quit if I don't have to make it my goal.
    You all seem so nice and supportive. I will check in every day.

                    Welcome C
                    I like what you said "I think it might be easier to actually quit if I don't have to make it my goal." I have in the back of my mind that after i have some serious AF time under my belt that I will try modding, its take the pressure away from Abs completley. good on you & good luck, you will find all the help you need here which ever path you take.
