What Badger said! Just keep on keeping on! Remember, in the beginning, all we have to do is 1) take the pill 2) WAIT ONE HOUR! 3) Drink as you normally would!

Hope,
I would suggest that you track drinks well. And decide on a limit per day. I decided that half of bottle of wine will be my limit in social situations. Also, do try to get rid of alcohol at home if possible. This, together with Nal is my best strategy.

Nal on - you will make it!

tracking and setting a limit is a good plan, and you can do it. keep following the golden rule, and it'll happen.

I was frustrated through the honeymoon period as well, however, please be patient and continue taking the Nal. I started on April 27th of this year and about 22-24 weeks later I started to feel that I did not have a drinking problem anymore....it's still sinking in that I am cured and I am so happy!! You will be too. Just be patient! Just when you think it will never work....BOOM...you realize you feel great and are not dependent anymore!! It's miraculous!
