Alcohol Dependence
"I finally feel relived that I have control over my craving to drink everyday.  I am really happy that I can go into a bar and hang out with my friends and not drink.  I am from WI and have basically been drinking since 15.  I spent 27 years in the Navy and drank like a sailor.  I was a Navy pilot and it was definitely part of the culture.  I have been a binge drinker since the beginning.  Now I am a businessman and always under constant pressure.  Business dinners all the time and a large expense account do not help.  I found myself self medicating with alcohol everyday.  Just started Antabuse two weeks ago and now I feel in control.  Naltrexone was a joke.  I could power through that.  It was really hard to get prescribed.  No side effects"
