Third week in nal and had the I initial honeymoon stage for 2-3 days but the. Back up to 2-3 bottles a day. My husband and son do not approve off drinking at all so I've been asked to leave my house. It's very sad because I tried rehab and aa and I loved aa but it didn't help w my cravings. It's weird to b living in a hotel room but I want to believe naltrexone will work for me. My husband went to a local rehab facility and they convinced him that naltrexone wouldn't work. My son is 16 and doesn't want me around if I've been drinking at all. Feeling sad but want to stay strong for myself. Any support would much appreciated

You got kicked out by your husband and son on Mother's Day? That's pretty cold. I don't know what to say about all that. I can see how a spouse would be very skeptical of The Sinclair Method, especially if they feel that 100% abstinence is the only way to go. I'm curious if you have a physical addiction to alcohol -- if you try to quit, do you get withdrawal symptoms? Have you ever been able to stop drinking for a prolonged period (weeks or months)? As far as TSM goes, surely you have read that a "honeymoon period" is a sign that Naltrexone will likely work for you in the long run if you put in effort, so don't give up on it yet. Still, you may be in one of those situations where you have to just quit cold turkey or face losing your family (however unfair your situation might be -- we can't really tell based on what you've shared).
