    My Naltrexone Journey

    britelite

    Thanks for the nice words. i figure if you cant be honest as an anynonmous forum then damn I have issues..LOL and man the issues I have from booze. The results I had for the last couple weeks for me are simply incredible and if this is as good as it gets I am satisfied. I really feel like I just started drinking physically but mentally I know the hell alcohol can cause.

    I could never imagine being abstinent now I can and in the near future I am leaning this way. I am not oquite there yet but WILL be there soon. I didn't destroy myself overnight so I can't fix myself overnight. I figure right before starting TSM I made it 30 somethiong days, so I figure when I am ready to hang up the glass again this time i will be armed with naltrexone and the experience/results I have had so it will be a peice of cake even if I do fall off the wagon.

    Another add to the week - On one hand I am happy with my reaction on the other I am fuming with anger but no were near out of control. I am very close with my sister, and became closer after my mother's death. our father passed away in 03. Save for a couple aunts and uncles in their 80's and 70's she is all I have left.

    She is going thru a divorce with a WACKO ex husband. Alot of people say they have wacky ex's but her's is the real deal. Violent, death threats that have to be taken seriously, HUGE criminal record of previous spousal abuse and fire arms and drugs...nasty nasty stuff.

    She has a restraining order in place however he continues to violate it with phone calls from "other" numbers that the police can do nothing with. On friday my neice told her mother "mommy daddy put his finger in me and wanted me to pee on it". Sorry for being gross it turns my stomach as I write it. She is 4.5. Today my sister is at the police with her daughter.

    Without TSM and the frame of mind I was in prior, a few drinks of whiskey and the hunt would have been on for her ex. I would have been like F the law. I could not stand this guy before, gave her holy hell when she married this guy 5 years ago, and now you can only imagine how i feel about him. We had 2 confrontations when they were married over him abusing my sister and destroying her home. It never got physical only because he was a little girl who likes to abuse women behind close doors - you know the type - he backed down with me every time.

    Without TSM I would have drank over this hard and been in a blind rage and black-out and lord only knows what could have happened. I have never had ANY criminal charges EVER not even a speeding ticket in my 42 years (knock on wood). This event combined with alcohol could have seriously destroyed my life. I am greatful for TSM that I can sit back take a deep breath - even though that deep breath took almost a day - and be calm as can be expected and remain rational. My anger over this with whiskey involved would have been adding 20 gallons of gas on an open fire. Funny how you can deal with shitty things in life sober.

    I know a lot of people would be like kill him and at first that was my intial reaction, and prior to this happeneing that is what I would say about any petaphile. It all changes when happens to your own family. My attitude is let the law handle this, support my sister the best I can - damn and not being a worthless drunk I can GIVE support - and I pray my neice is ok in the long run.

    I wasn't going to add this because it makes me sick to think about it - kind of mentally blocking this from my mind - but this was a HUGE event that I know as GOD as my judge I would be WASTED WASTED and in a blind rage for days and possibly have done things to really screw my life up. THANK GOD TSM WORKS FOR ME.

      Thanks crown

      I know you don't know me, as I don't post very much, but I just have to tell you how much I have been intrigued by your thread. I just started TSM about 3 weeks ago and have had no changes yet. Like most Americans, I want to pop my pill and be cured NOW. But that is not the case here, and with your postings being so open and honest, it gives me hope that it will happen for me too.
      After I separated from my husband last spring, I switched to the hard stuff (vodka, gin) and I do see where it is repulsing me a bit more. That might be because I drank so much Saturday, i was praying to the porcelain god yesterday. I hope to become a 'normal' drinker so I can be the Mom I need to be. And the person I have always hoped I would become. I am 40 now, I don't have my whole life in front of me anymore. I need to quit this bullshit.

      Thank God your sister has such a caring brother. She needs you now. And you are right, let the law take care of that creep SOB.

      Thanks again for laying out your life story like this. Very inspiring! :l

        Hugs to you crown and I am sending good thought and prayers to your sister and her daughter. I'm usually a calm person, but I would have been seeing red and would have clawed the Bastards eyes out if I knew him! He is a weak coward to prey upon women and children....aargh! The lowest of the low!! Hang in there and be strong for your sister. Your just being there and sober for her will mean a lot. Don't try to take matters into your own hands...you can't get into trouble. You need to maintain for your sister. I hope they put the Bastard away!

        You are doing very well on TSM. I'm still trying. I just started with Nal and take Bac when needed. PM me anytime if you ever feel the need for support.

        Everything I need is within me!

          gettingthere

          Thanks for the comments.

          I think from all the reading I have done on TSM I am kinda of a freak because I saw immeadiate results and have stayed in this so called honeymoon period for my entire seven weeks with things getting better and better and my tolerance crushed, hard liquor my former lover, now making me vomit almost on the smell.

          On the TSM forum people talk about an intial reduction or nothing..then a spike ( God i'm praying that doesn't happen to me but if it does it does) then extinction. I know people on the TSM forum say it takes anywhere from 4-6-9 months or sometimes even longer.

          I hope and pray it works for you.

                Thanks for the words...I read your story and I know we have both chewed on that same bone called hell on earth with booze, we just have different recovery methods.

                I am passing the time today on the forums and watching my nephew while my sister is at the police with my neice having forensic stuff done and police child phycologists evaluate my neice.

                Nice to be sitting here WITHOUTa half gallon and getting angrier by the drink. and also not feeling the need to drink and living by my old life axiom pre-alcoholic drinking - booze only makes a bad situation worse.

                        Crown,

                        I'm glad you are handling this without booze. I know how stressful situations can really flip us around even if we have been doing good for awhile. I would've clawed his eyes out even without drinking though! You are definitely having better control in this situation than I would have, so stay strong and keep us posted.

                        Everything I need is within me!

                          it's weird you hear about cases all the time and your like man if that was my family member I would kill the sick bastard. But when it really happens..it like WOW is this real?. I know booze would make it worse and I would be hunting him down.I am angry enough sober without whiskey anger. I plan to stay AF and beleive me without my 7 weeks of TSM progress this would NEVER have happened 2 months ago. This would be just another perect storm to drink thru.

                          I can truly say I hate her ex even before this just based on the abuse he dished out during their marriage but I am still having a hard time beleiving he is THIS sick. Pushing women around mentally and physically is sick to begin with but sexually messing around with a 4 year old and his daughter..sick beyond words.

                          She has been in with the police since 1pm and I havent heard from her yet...I am hoping and praying they lock his ass up tonight

                                My doctor would not prescribe Naltrexone as he stated it was for psychological patients only.

                                Did you all go the doctor route or are there alternatives?
