funerals , cheating, manipulations, abortions,
sometimes I want that real buzz,and feel like I cant even if I wanted to, which means naltrexone is working,
but it is hard sometimes, when life throw 5 curve balls in a row.
I will keep taking naltrexone I feel emotionless, it is hard to describe.

That sounds like a lot.

Can you turn to some other comfort? Something that isn't a drug per se? Lying down in a dark room, drinking milkshakes, whatever works for you?

I wouldn't recommend the comfort food as a long-term approach, but with that much trouble on you all at once, you gotta do what you gotta do.

There are also recovery chatrooms where you can spend a lot of time getting comfort and support from people who don't buzz. They tend to be leery of TSM, but if you don't mention that part, you can get a lot of good support and comfort live online.

Hang in there. It sounds awful, but it will pass eventually. Losing our old crutch sure can be a bummer sometimes, but we have to stay committed if we're going to fix our lives.

(((((Neptune)))))... that really is so much to handle. I am so sorry. But please keep taking the Nal. Drinking cannot make it better.

I've had various stresses since reaching cure point, including being involved in an armed robbery both at work and home. Yes I felt it, and no I didn't disappear into a bottle and I did have reactions.

It is difficult, but I am so glad I was cured when it happened, if my drinking had been at pre-tsm levels (as it was when another crime was commited) I'd not have been sharp enough to remember and work with the authorities to track the person down.

I now don't drink any alcohol, and it's pretty much the same except I have to face and deal with everything 24/7 but it is doable.
