Naltrexone saved my life!!! I struggled for about 10 years and now I have been sober 12 years!!!!! 🎉

Day 6 of Naltrexone today & D O Choices clean 29 days. First few days of Naltrexone were kinda funky for me, but seems to be getting better. Feeling hopeful seeing and hearing success stories. Sober 29 days today.

I found this searching exactly this. I ve done 15 years in Nal TSM and for reasons covered added SMART to deal with the habit and better well being as I ve moved (MAINLY) to abstinence in paralel. Thankyou Katie - and Smart !😂

Thank you for the interview. Very informative!!!

Thanks folks. A very interesting conversation. Much appreciated.

Loved chatting with you Luke. Thank you for all the great questions.

I've taken this medication and I've been sober now for seven months

I missed a meeting today.....its really helped! ....so am watching Smart videos....the scary thing is I haven't had a hang over in well over 20 years.....but drank in excess for those 20 or so years.....

Good up to the point questions from Mr Smart

Naltrexone has been a life saver for me in my early days of recovery! I'm blessed to be able to have access to this.

Thank You for this priceless interview 🙏

You are so welcome!

Good job

You say take it no later that 1 hr before but what about at lunch 4-5 hours before? Is that still effective? Taking the med mid afternoon might be a challenge to remember. 😀

Hi! This is Katie (from the interview). This is not medical advice, but a best practice is for the medication to be taken within a few hours of the first alcoholic drink. Generally if it’s more than six hours that is too far in advance and the medication won’t be as effective. I hope that helps.
