The plan's to take it just when needed, though as I haven't actually wanted a drink since getting the prescription (on the Saturday just gone) said prescription is unused as yet. That's how I've been using Naltrexone though. An interesting observation is that for several months I've been finding that after taking the nal & waiting for an hour it's been quite common that I really don't want a drink anymore (totally different from taking a nal & waiting impatiently to get started!). Yeah, 3 units per week is quite mind-blowing for me; 3 units per day was my dim-and-distant target a couple of years ago in a kinda hypothetical sorta way though really I'd have been happy just being able to stop before turning into an a-hole.

Agree. 3 units a week would be bliss for me. Keep up the good work and keep posting. Thanks, Chris.

Hey BWD: 3 a week is indeed amazing. Good work. you've come a long way.

Bwd Congrats and thanks for sharing , all the best

Just checking in again... there've been a few "significant life events" since my last post such losing my job (redundancy, I wasn't the only one) a week before Christmas, Christmas itself, getting a new job a few hundred miles away, selling a house, moving house, starting a new job, having a birthday (yesterday) and having a much-loved cat put to sleep (today). I'm pleased to report that I've not been out-of-control drunk at any time despite my brain being very keen on the idea, and that Nal continues to work. My current concern is that my current intake (~2 units/day) is much more than at the nadir in November, and that there's been a slow-but-steady upward trend since then. I'm optimistic that it's not significant because I've not felt in danger of being out of control at any point, but worry that I'm deluding myself. For now, though, I'm just going to be happy that I'm a year older and not in a state of shame, remorse and humiliation from the previous day.
