Hello.
I have been sober continuously now, through the grace of God, and the support of family, friends and the AA program for 13 and 1/2 years.
Although I am not happy in life, I have nothing to be unhappy about, and, when I think about it, all too infrequently, I have much to be grateful for.
Nonetheless, I am looking for some change, and much too frequently, that involves the idea of picking up a drink. I have no real idea why or what I expect, and I can clearly imagine very realistic consequences, but when do consequences inhibit an alcoholic?
My latest question to myself came about after stumbling over a few mentions of Vivitrol on the web. I remember taking Naltrexone for about a year or so as a precaution at a psychiatrist's advice when I first got sober. I have no idea whether it did anything to help me in my early sobriety.
I am more curious as to whether any prior abuser has any experience with Vivitrol and drinking. I remember reading something about always wishing that we could drink like normal men. Wishful thinking? Thought so.
