I’ve reset my app numerous times. I need to stop drinking. My body will give out on me if I continue. I know it. It’s not worth it anymore. It never was.

I can relate, I’ve slipped up more than once, and had more “Day 1’s” than I care to talk about. Last time was it for me. I went to my doctor and told her all about my problem. She prescribed me Naltrexone, and talked to me about the Sinclair Method. Basically Naltrexone is a drug that removes the ‘kick’ you get from alcohol (or other drugs). An hour before you think you might be tempted to drink something, you take a pill. Then even if you do drink, you won’t feel any rush, and therefore it becomes unsatisfying, and you lose your desire to drink. I have been taking this for about 2 weeks now, and I think it has helped some with the cravings. I did give in and try to have a drink the first day or two, but I found that it did not taste good, smelled kinda sour, and did not “do” anything for me. The last drink I had, I couldn’t even finish it. So I have been keeping the fridge stocked with other things: iced tea, lemonade, Vitamin water. When the “witching hour” comes in the evening, I have a drink of something non-alcoholic and go find something to do until dinnertime. After dinner, I never want any. I am now on my 10th day, and feeling much better. Maybe Naltrexone might help you also. Wishing you the best of luck, be strong!
