I’ve never tried that. I’m on day 32 and I’m still craving sugar (never did when I drank), but just from reading everyone else’s experiences, it’s completely normal. Our bodies crave what we aren’t putting in it any more. I know some people eat m&m’s, Reece’s pieces, or other smaller candies. I’ve been drinking soda as the first couple weeks were very challenging with not having something in my hand (like a drink). I’ve been slowly cutting back on the soda though as I used it to get over the initial month hump. I’m slowly switching to fruit smoothies, as they’re more satisfying and hydrating. Sorry I can’t offer anything else.

I’m on day 5 of taking naltrexone. What exactly are you wanting to take it for? My rehab doctor described it as a ‘magic’ pill that would take away my cravings. As I left I remembered laughing and mocking him. But it’s true! Yesterday I decided to push the limits. I went inside a liquor store to buy smokes and purposely looked around. My mouth slightly watered but the strong urge that’s usually there was gone. I bought smokes and left. My scepticism now turned to hope. The only thing I’m worried about is when I finally do get off the medicine and the cravings come back on how to handle it. Or is the medicine helping retain my brain about alcohol during this process? We will see. Also it’s highly recommended that you use this on top of treatment also. Good luck!

Thats a cool story, yeah I have heard some good things about it. I checked out some reviews online. I want to use it for the alcohol thing as well and take any cravings away since im just getting going on the sober thing and only on day 11. I say if it works might as well try it out. I thought id bring it up on here as well cause i never even heard of Naltrexone till a week ago so I thought maybe this might interest other Alcoholics that might not of heard of it either
I have been taking it for almost 3 weeks, since I started getting sober on August 14. I believe it has really helped with the cravings, and especially the obsessing over it.
Have you tried sparkling water? Grapefruit La Croix is my favorite. It’s been my go to drink, so I’m feeling pretty hydrated these days. I 
I gag when I try to drink sparkling water 
it’s just one of those things I see people drinking and I wonder how it’s not burning a hole in their esophagus 
perhaps I’ll give it another shot though!
Try sparkling water and pick yourself up a couple of those MIO flavour things to squirt in them. I am not a sparkling water person either. But those make it pretty tasty
Okay! I’ll definitely try it out again. 
Hi… after these many days from your post… can you share the affect of Naltrex and have you relapsed?? Thanks
