Naltrexone making a big difference in my sobriety [View all]

This is just a shout-out for naltrexone - a medication used to curb the cravings for alcohol and opioids.

I've been struggling with alcoholism and severe PTSD for years. A doctor of mine mentioned naltrexone could help reduce my cravings for alcohol and I started taking it about a month ago. Within about a week, I found I had almost no cravings at all. In short, it has made a huge impact in my ability to stay sober. I personally haven't noticed any side affects, but then again I'm one of those people who rarely has issues with side affects.

To anyone struggling with sobriety, I recommend discussing this medication with your doctor.
