Was not compliant with Naltrexone. Scared to death of withdrawals
Posted , 3 users are following.
Well, it finally happened. I stopped taking my Naltrexone and am drinking so much now I'm having withdrawals after just a few hours of no alcohol. I'm terrified of detoxing again with no meds to help. The plan for tonight is to take half of a pill of the Naltrexone, wait an hour and then have some drinks to get through the night. I've already had about four drinks today and it's about 6pm. Went a couple of years of doing well then steadily upped my drinking while not taking my medication. I feel like a loser and am terrified my wife will find out. She doesn't deserve this and neither do my kids. I can't believe how quickly it got out of control. I have about 3 nights to taper off and get back on track. I can't believe how dumb I am to be back in this position. Thanks for listening. I'm on my way back from the airport and then I have to come up with a reason to go to the store and sneak in some alcohol to get me through the next few nights. Any tips on anything is much appreciated.

Good to hear from you and you are totally honest with us which is great. I was like you with wife and very small children small children and carried on drinking heavily. Always scared, always looking for those hidden bottles. I had too much to live for and wanted to see my children grow up. I stopped 8 1/2 years ago and never had a drink since then. Make a plan. You also have too much to live for. I wait to hear from you. I am in the UK? I am. Best regards Robin

I don't spend much time here anymore. You could pop over to Options Save Lives or the Alcoholism_Medication forum on Reddit.
