I started naltrexone again for booze Saturday

[TEB]

I took it years ago and did not drink for almost two years 07-09. Now at 52 I asked doc for another prescription. I have come to understand that I’m a functioning alcoholic is the term that they use. When I drink I drink to get drunk never violent always mellow. Saturday I had a few on back porch but I do remember after like a week on naltrexone the craving goes away. And your thoughts change from wanting a beer to just not having any. It was my call to do it my wife saw the prescription on counter and asked.

I do think alcoholism is hereditary I come from a family of drinkers. You work hard you play hard after they put in week at steel mill. And it seemed normal after a week of linehaul or yard jockey time to crack a few. Or like in infantry ok we’re done with that field exercise time to get drunk and try not to end up on the military police report . I suffer from ok I worked hard time for a reward it just took me to decide to ask the doc for this.
