Depressed

Hi Shannon, This could be a turning point for you, it really depends on what you want to do. Take the relationship out of the equation for a moment because no matter how strong your feelings are, you have to decide what it is that you want to do for yourself ultimately. What is your relationship with the drink like? Does the thought of quitting scare you? Do you feel that the pleasure you get from Alcohol (physically and socially) is something that you can't get from anywhere else? Are you looking forward to a drink most of the time? What ever you decide you want to do, it has to be because you want to do it, doing it because someone else wants you to is not a great incentive to stop. It would help if you could share your drinking habits with us, like how often you drink, how much it is and how it makes you feel when you do drink. It would be easy for me to say "Just quit" but I know that it is no where near as simple as that. Does going out with friends always centre around the pub? Naltrexone does work great for some, but perhaps with a little more info we could explore some other options that may be more ideal and helpful for you. There are plenty of helpful people on here that know what your going through (myself included) that would love to give you some tips and ideas. AL
