Hi I've been taking naltrexone since April 23. Had the honeymoon days and then back up to 2-3 bottles of wine a day. I began drinking heavily 3 years ago after I began having an affair and fell in love with the man. The problem was that I am married. I told my husband about the affair and the last 3 years have been hell for all of us, including my 16 yo son. I started drinking to shut the pain out. I was in love with this man but also with my husband. I wanted to keep my family together but I also had such an amazing connection with the man I was carrying on an affair. I drank to blackout and treated my husband horribly. The reason why I started the affair is its own story which I will get into in another post if anyone is interested. Basically, in a nutshell, emotional and physical neglect. Anyway, I didn't care what happened to me anymore and just kept drinking with naltrexone. However, about one week ago, I felt like I had some sort of an awakening. I wasn't depressed anymore and didn't feel the need to drink to forget about my life problem. I also felt closer to my husband for he has stood by me throughout this entire ordeal. Not to mention that we've been together for 27 years and have processed and grown so much through being together. Now I don't feel like drinking. I believe Nal has really worked for me. I started losing hope but now I see that there has been a big shift. I wonder if Nal actually helped me feel less hopeless. I don't know. Anyway, I'm extremely grateful and amazed that I am free of the bondage of alchohol.

Sounds wonderful K.
