Naltrexone making a big difference in my sobriety

[Victor_c3]

4. I'm not aware of any use in nicotene addiction

As I understand it, it blocks the receptors that opioids and alcohol affect. It kills the cravings, and it also kills the ability of those substances to inebriate you. I haven't tried to drink alcohol yet (I have had almost no desire at all to), but I have heard that alcohol will not have nearly the same affect on a person.

As I understand, Naltrexone is a relatively new medication and a lot of people aren't aware of it at all. In the short time I've been taking it, it has made a tremendous impact on me, my family, and my relationship with my children. I feel great and I'm very excited about my newfound sobriety. Between this and finally getting my depression under control (that is a topic for a whole other post), my life is on a major up-swing. I still suffer with severe PTSD, but it all of a sudden seems more manageable without those other two obstacles.

Thanks!
