Hello everyone! I am so thankful I found this forum so that I can communicate with others who are using this method. I started drinking heavily at 17 and remained that way for 10 years. My life was totally out of control and I was suicidal and in and out of jail/terrible relationships. I then met my amazing husband (6years ago)and we were married and had kids shortly after. Abstaining from alcohol was so much easier, but I would still have the occasional (1x a year or so) relapse which made me feel so guilty because I have a family now and when I drink I get mean and kinda crazy because I drink such a huge amount. I just drink as much alcohol as fast as I can until I pass out(rarely would happen) or I ran out. So, it's been 15 months since my last relapse and I'm getting cravings again. I know I'll drink! I found this information online and decided to give it a go. I ordered my meds and they should be here in 2-3 weeks. We plan to be very careful about it. Only have a certain amount of alcohol In the house and hide car keys until we are sure everything goes smoothly. I really want to get this problem gone for good. I'm tired of it lurking behind me ready to pounce everywhere I go. I'll let everyone know how it goes. Wish me luck!

Welcome, Krystal. I think my own experience may be of help:

I'm having a lot of trouble posting on this site right now (unrelated to you). Something is wrong with the server I think. You might repost over on the above, more active board.
