Hi every1,
I am 2months sober now after 10yrs of drinking at least 10-15 beers a night. It has not been an easy road over the last past 2months but I do really feel like it is just starting to get a lot easier, my GP has got me on 6 campral a day, 4 baclofin, an 1 naltrexone at night with the second dose of campral an baclofin for the day. I also see a psychiatrist once a fortnight as an out patient, it really does help to talk to someone outside of your friends an family, an for some reason AA was not really an option for me I could of thought of nothing worse then sitting around a room with people an all sharing stories about drinking, just the thought of it at the start made me want to drink, so seeing the psychiatrist really helped me early on!! I am on a 3 month abstanance program at the moment an hopefully at the end of that can start a controlled drinking plan if the doctors an I all agree I'm ready. The closer I am getting to the end of my 3months abstanance I am truly starting to believe that I have gained control of my life again for the first time in since I was a teenager an that I can possible stick to a controlled drinking plan, instead of my drinking controlling my life. The meds have no real side effects at all on me, at times it felt as if they were doing nothing an would feel nothing from them but will power has to be there too, an I'm sure if I did stop taking them I probably wouldnt have lasted this long although the past 2weeks I have missed a fair few days an still not getting cravings. Anyway that's where I'm at for now, thanks so much for taking the time to read my storie!! Hope to hear fr other members
