Alcohol Dependence
"I&#039;ve been fighting alcoholism my entire life.. Feb 2015 I took my first shot of vivitrol, fresh out of detox and straight into a sober house. It helped tremendously.  I managed to stay sober for solid 15 months although I only took the shot for the first two.  It gave me that jump start to dive into life without craving, fear or obsession...  fast forward to last week, I went on a bender that almost killed me.. now with the help of another antidepressant,  I&#039;ve started taking naltrexone 50mg... I&#039;m on day 3, still shakie but I know it&#039;s working, I am around booze because of my job, but I already feel no urge to drink.

It&#039;s my experience. That with a strong support system, a desire to quit and armed with this awesome medication I can live."
