And I have some questions that I couldn't understand from the book I hope that you guys can help me! :?:
will Nal affect other behaviors that I enjoy such as exercising, having sex or taking care of it myself and other activities that are usually physical that give me a natural high?
I am afraid that this will go away along with my enjoyment of alcohol.
but if it is not the case how long should I wait to do this activities again (mostly exercising) after taking Nal?
and I haven't had an orgasm since I started 04/07/2013 and I have no interest in sex I am kinda bumped out about it and hopeful that would go away! I do have other questions but I wait to hear from somebody please and thank you.

Xavier,
I'm an avid biker, as our my TSM friends. None of us saw any difference in either exercise or sex - - they are both much more complicated. But I have read posts of some people reporting heightened orgasms. Can't tell if you're a guy or a gal. If you're a guy and you can't have an orgasm that would indeed be weird. Female -- not so much.

thank you for replying I will look further into other forums and try to find some answers, I am a guy BTW, I imagine that it doesn't affect your joy of exercising while using Nal, I was just wondering if there was a time that you needed to go by before you exercise after you have taken Nal? and as far as the sex drive goes I really have to look into it thank you once again

No, if I take Naltrexone I do experience a kind of flatness the next day, which can build up if I take it several days in a row, but where I'm at right now I have no need to do that. I'm very much into fitness and TSM enabled me to pursue some fitness goals I'd never have been able to in the past because of my drinking.

Now fully in control, alcohol no longer bothers me. Chose to go AF from 22nd July 2013.
TSM set me free

I definitely lost my mojo "sexual desire". My wife even commented on my lack of interest.

However, it is returning fairly rapidly now. :D It disappeared early on, and started the comeback after 2nd month.

Regarding exercise, I wasn't doing any before, nor any the first 2 months. I am going back to the gym 2 or 3 times a week now. :D

thanks for sharing with me ! I still don't have interest but I don't have a problem getting it up :lol:
and I am not as worried as I was! now I find my self not obsessing over drinking and I think I am doing it more out of a habit, but maybe to early to know?
help me understand how many drinks do you have now compared to what you used to? and I see that you have had some AF that is awesome it gives me hope! the only concern I have now is what the hell am I going to do with out drinking? once again thank you and the others that replied back it really feels good to be able to chat openly about this without being judged

Pre TSM, I based my weekly consumption at 120 USA units/beers, or roughly an 18 pack a day. I wasn't counting. I do know I was drinking a pint of vodka every weekday before I got home. (That's 9 units.) Then drinking after dinner, 2 or 3 min. on a light evening, or 6-10 more on a heavy evening, staying up late after most went to bed. And that does not include weekends, when I guarantee, Fri. and Sat were over 18, and Sunday was LIGHTER, 12-18.

Thats a lot of booze.

I am well below half of those volumes now. AF days obviously have been helping reduce the volumes, however, on non-AF days, the numbers are averaging out below 10 as opposed to encroaching 20 plus. I usually don't have the crave after 2 or 3 or 4, but do still drink the 5th, 6th, or 10th out of habit I guess, but I feel this number shrinking. :D

This is after 3 months. I just started month 4.
