Hi!

After tons of research and reading and I decided to give this a shot. I realized over the past few years there was a progressive but significant increase in my drinking. It has not affected my life or health (yet) but was looking for a way to reduce drinking instead of becoming totally abstinent. I tried that a few times but would only last 30-60 days at the most.

I started Naltrexone 50mg an hour before drinking almost three weeks ago. Pre Naltrexone drinking level was an average of 70 drinks a week.

On Naltrexone:
Pre Naltrexone: 70 a week/10 a day
Week 1: 53 drinks in a week/7.5 a day
Week 2: 53 drinks in a week/7.5 a day
Week 3: 45 drinks in a week/6.5 a day

So as you can see for me three weeks in I have almost cut my original consumption in half from pre Naltrexone levels. I just don't drink as fast and am slowly becoming less preoccupied with drinking. So far very encouraging and look forward to more positive updates!

Good luck to everyone!!

That's great !! You have a good attitude which helps make things go well. Ultimately you can decide how much you do or don't care to drink. Stay positive, it works !

Good luck!

Thank you Guapo! I saw from your posts you have made amazing progress as well! That is wonderful! Very encouraging to me!

Way to go Angelgirl!

It's good that you're tracking too, It keeps you "mindful" of your goals and you can see your progress.

Good luck and stay compliant!

Thank you all41!!

Your start was very much like my own, I'm sure you don't need my advice but if I were to give any it would be to read on this forum as much as you can and post as regular as poss.

And of course just follow that golden rule nal 1 hour before and drink as normal.

You seem to be steaming ahead good luck.

looks like you're doing great AG, & getting a quick, progressive response. keep up the good work

Thank you very much thistime2014 and badger1! I am so happy that this seems to be working!

Hello!

Week 4 was my best week yet although I noticed it was only a small decrease from the week before. I am going to try and go one or two days this week AF. Still very encouraged that this is working so far!

On Naltrexone:
Pre Naltrexone: 70 a week/10 a day
Week 1: 53 drinks in a week/7.5 a day
Week 2: 53 drinks in a week/7.5 a day
Week 3: 45 drinks in a week/6.5 a day
Week 4: 42 drinks in a week/6 a day

Steady progress AG, when you look back sometime in the future your posts and numbers will tell a story and perhaps help someone new.

Keep up the Google work
