I didn't want to quit drinking entirely.
Naltrexone really works. I use it on days whenI don't want to be tempted to drink out of boredom. On days when I plan to entertain, dine out, hit the Club or meet friends for Happy Hour I don't take it and that plan seems to be working for me. Now, depending on our social schedule, I drink three or four days a week instead of seven, and on the days I choose NOT to drink the meds keep me from even thinking about a drink!
