[@kasisoot]

Thank you for saying this.

So I just left the doctor's office and she couldn't prescribe me Naltrexone and referred me to an outpatient facility. Has anybody ever experienced having difficulties getting this prescribed?

[@thrivealcoholrecovery]

Yep! A few doctors refused before I found one that did. Are you in the US? We have a private program for this treatment and can refer you to a doctor in your state. Thrivealcoholrecovery.com

[@ggp89]

you're right about the labeling though. when i first went to aa, the label of powerless alcoholic would make me perhaps drink even more when i did. but the naltrexone isn't helping eiether

[@4G63Tx]

Did you have bad side effects from naltrexone? I sure as hell did.

[@ggp89]

@@4G63Tx maybe insomnia and i''d be more likely to puke while drinking. not that bad overall maybe. im taking it currently. gotta do erverything i can to not drink so much

[@ggp89]

@@4G63Tx maybe it makes me depressed too im not sure

[@bts845]

It’s really about powerlessness over the reaction once you consume alcohol not powerless over the first drink. AA gave me the power to go anywhere there’s Alcohol and I hardly ever crave it.

[@ggp89]

im drinking myself to death even with naltrexone i took naltrexone before drinking and i still am drinking to excess and it still feels good , i just do less stupid stuff when i take the naltrexone, but that actually makes me drink again sooner because there is no shameover

[@thrivealcoholrecovery]

Hi ❤ are you getting any type of support on naltrexone? I don’t want you to sabotage yourself Support can make all the difference so you’re not just isolating and doing it alone in the same familiar patterns. Please do reach out if we can help you!! www.thrivealcoholrecovery.com/

[@bts845]

My heart breaks reading posts like this…. Alcoholism is a deadly disease. For late stage, chronic alcoholics, our only hope is abstinence. Keep giving AA a try since naltrexone isn’t working. It’s uncomfortable at first but if you stick with it it gets easier and you actually enjoy doing it.

You might be right that we know more about alcohol and you put the case well. The substance has not changed nor the effect, so for some of us acceptance, shared experience and engagement in trying to stay well is the only way to manage our lives after we stop. Love to all who suffer.
