I was doing well, having 2 or 3 days a week not drinking booze and no more than 4 alcoholic drinks on the other days. But I haven't had a booze-free day for 2 months now and I have thought that I will have 3 days off the sauce, i.e. Mon, Tue, Wed. But I doubt my resolve. So I'm posting this intention in the hope that telling you all my plan will help me stick to it ............

    I have done really well on Selicron , got through the initial bad side effects etc and now a few months later I find I am not drinking much at all. The problem with that is ( as I have said in a previous discussion )  the less I took the tablet as I drank les the worse I was feeling on the tablet and it is spoiling my enjoyment totally of having a drink in moderation.  After taking advise on this forum I approached my GP to be prescribed Nalrexone  ( similar drug - less side effects )  I have not started it as my GP wanted me to stop drinking completely for 4 weeks first ( rightly or wrongly ) then he will prescribe it.    Why don't you look into this ?

    I will be posting how I get on in about thee weeks, after which I will have had Naltrexone for a week.
