Naltrexone and Campral

That's so awesome! How long did it take for you to get to this point?

Hey angel, you're really doing well. You sound so much more positive about everything, really pleased for you. I've now done 11 days without anything, but find it hard to motivate myself into doing very much xx

Hi Kelly,

I was taking the Selincro/Nalmefene for 9 weeks. I reduced my Alcohol Units (daily), by more than half.  I did have 'blips' along the way ! 

I really cannot fathom why I don't feel like having a drink... I always felt like having a drink !  I had far too many drinks... as often as possible,TRUTH !!

I feel like it is a Miracle, but I realise that the Medication must have made the change in my brain. That is how it works. Miracle Medication... as long as you COMPLY, work with it, keep to the exact instructions.

Good Luck tomorrow.  YOU CAN DO IT !

Blessings,

Alonangel 🎇

P.S.  Naltrexone works in the same way.

You are doing SO well, it's just great.

It's not uncommon to have a few cravings crop up here are there, so if they do crop up at some point, don't be disappointed and don't struggle.  Take the tablet, have a drink mindfully, and then you have satisfied that urge and things should return to how they are now.  That wouldn't be a failure - it would just be one more step towards your long term goal.

In the meantime, you are becoming a poster girl for this - I might take a little holiday and leave things in your capable hands!  Sure you can be as plain-talking as me sometimes, especially now that you can see why it works and want so desperately for it to work for others   (just kidding on the holiday, thought it would be nice).

Keep up the GREAT work.

Hey Vickylou, Good For You !

We are not going to know who we are anymore... with all this SOBRIETY in the air !

I usually find it well nigh impossible to motivate myself, at all.  I suffer from Depression... among other things.  I am trying to regain interest in myself... get up, get dressed each day.  Put on some make-up before going to the local shop. I am trying to remember who I was, before the drink took control.  

I used to go to the shop with my long coat over my dressing-gown and pyjamas, to buy wine... TRUTH !

I have started to use my anti-wrinkle cream, again !  "Hope springs eternal".

I think I am buying into that " I'm Worth It" scenario... ha, ha !

Give yourself a "Make-over".  I'm going to colour my greys, tomorrow.

I think that if you look a bit better, you feel a bit better... then that boosts motivation to do other things.  

Let me know how you get on.

We really are worth it !

Blessings, my friend.

Thank you so much, Joanna.  I was very flattered to be mentioned as a good  example, by you.  I haven't been much of an example of anything good, for such a long time.

Your recent posts to others have been brilliant advice.  You really do great work. We are very fortunate to have you on this Forum.

I appreciate what you are alerting me to.  I am just going day by day, hoping for the best.  

All Good Wishes,

Alonangel 👼

You are sounding great Alonangel! I'm so happy you're getting along with the Selincro and TSM. Is your sleep improving any? 

Hi ADEfree,

I am 'coming along, nicely' !

The sleep factor is a 'mixed bag'... some nights a bit better... I am not awake ALL NIGHT anymore, thank goodness.

I appreciate your interest and encouragement.

I hope you are doing well.

Blessings,

 Alonangel 👼

P.S. THIS IS DAY 7, ALCOHOL-FREE... WOO, HOOOOO !!!!!

I am so pleased that at long last, Angel, you're doing so well. You must be really proud. Well done 

Congratulations on a full week AF! You've come a long way, Angel!

Very glad to hear that the sleep is improving too.
