What's the minimum I must drink for 90ish days so that I get extinction???
My desire to drink has reduced already. And I want to complete the full 90 days of naltrexone so I hope to get extinction. What is the minimum I should drink on Naltrexone to achieve this?
Any ideas?

Most people drinking only for extinction just drink one or two. There's been a lot of disagreement over whether drinking without craving actually extinguishes anything, but I don't know of anyone who thinks it's necessarily to drink heavily for extinction purposes. It's that first drink that has the most impact.

You won't necessarily need 90 drinking sessions -- you're cured when you're cured, not on a schedule. I guess it can't do any harm to drink lightly on nal, though, so you might as well. I would recommend saving a few of your 90 pills, thought. Even if you plan to abstain after you're cured, it's good to have a few in reserve just in case.

Yes, it seems at the mo like I am drinking without craving!
At the moment it's to avoid withdrawl, but also to keep to TSM regime.
It's early days .............

Hi daisydog and welcome.
Here is a post from Heavy Fuel from this Forum that is important to me and others:

"If I had to tell anyone just starting any one thing, it would be to plan on a year to regain control/cured. That's probably a couple of months longer than most, but it stops the insecurity and impatience. I look at how naive I was about the time frame, but I am almost there. The only thing is, I am riding the roller coaster too! Down this week, up next. I am seriously down this week, but may be up next. It's learning to be indifferent to that up and down that is hard."

Stay with the Golden Rule and ALWAYS have enough Nal ordered and with you at all times (I have 7 months supply at this time).
There is another Forum which is the C Three Forum and I think they are still giving out free pill key chains when you join, maybe join and ask them. It's another good site that has just been created. Here is the link: http://optionssavelives.freeforums.net/
Funny I had a dream last night that I was offered a drink and drank it thinking "Oh no I never took my Nal", guess that was a nightmare, lol!
