Hi,
I am an alcoholic and by myself I am on day three of no alcohol but knew today was going to be bad so got naltrexone script from my doctor this morning
I'm pretty scared about taking it cos he did not do a liver test as it says to do. I also am hopping between Mmmm icy cold beer and look ahead to when this won't happen!
Any ideas?

Maibaby, I took Naltroxone with out a Liver Test and had know problems. I also took AB without a Liver Test. Good Luck. You could allways ask your GP for advice.

The newbies nest moves VERY fast, you will have to keep up on it regularly.

Welcome aboard, you may be alone in real time life, but I can promise you there are plenty of cyber friends here who understand exactly what you are going through. The more you post, ask questions, and contribute, the more you will get out of this board.

And you've already earned your first accomplishment reward for getting past day one.

Mai, the liver test is a simple blood test and they can fax over the request to any lab so you can have it drawn or you can swing by your docs office and grab it and go have the blood drawn.

Don't gave in to that mmmm cold beer thought, TRUST me I did in November and had a horrible time stopping again. I am a beer drinker, almost daily and up to a case a day. ;(

I made three days and caved and am back on Day one. This time, I have the tools in place that I will use. I am spending this morning cooking healthy food, I have the all one powder to take for nutrition, I am sipping lemon water because someone said it helps to alkanize our bodies. I am taking milk thistle for my liver and I actually have topamax, but because I was boozing, I didn't take it...DUMB on my end.

I have been hiding it from my boyfriend, my kids, everyone. I would sneak down to the basement to do laundry...man all those trips down there, I could have washed the whole neighborhood's laundry!

Because I had a HUGE bender last night, today is really crappy. I dumped all the beer I had left and tossed all the cans...just seeing that miller lite can would trigger my urge and I would let it take over. I woke up today feeling awful and said this is it. My problem with my head is it always seems to take over and convince me that I can have a couple..NO I CANNOT...I have a problem and I need to be completely AF. I am using the boards for support and because I did it over the summer, I know I can do it again.

You made Day 3...That's a huge accomplishment. My day 3 will be on Thursday and I have to work that day..it will be so nice to do it sober and not hung over. On Friday, I will go to my boyfriends house, he does not drink, and spend the weekend there...topamax in tow.

We are all here for support. Have a great AF day.:l

HEY MAI

Any ideas? OF COURSE we have ideas! And lots of them LOL!

Day 3 is terrific! Hang in there and you have come to the right place.

The very best idea would be DO NOT DRINK. I know it is hard, and I guess most here would say to create a plan. I know the Newbies Nest will be a great help to you!


Hang in there and I wish you the strength and determination to succeed!
