I was struggling hard with the booze, so I talked to the VA shrink and told her I needed a month or so break from it to reset. No need for AA or anything like that. She put me on Naltrexone. It’s awesome. Doesn‘t make you feel sick. No urges to drink but can enjoy a beer here and there. Now it just makes me feel full. Also helps you lose weight cause it curbs your appetite. The shit is awesome. If you’re looking for something like that call the VA Shrink or your local doc. There’s also a shot you can get that lasts 30 days. FYI.
NOTE: Be advised, your medical history will reflect this and may hinder your chances of getting life insurance in some cases, so keep that in mind.
I too am a reckless drunkard, and have had some very painful experiences because of alcohol. I always managed to be the drunkest dude within a 10 mile radius. I just started the Naltrexone last week. It's doing exactly what you said for me too. I find it easy to avoid getting started drinking, and it curbs my appetite. So maybe I'll finally get shredded out for the 4th of July! I just wish I would have known about it sooner.
Quitting drinking was the best and smartest thing I ever did n my life. How many good dudes lost their job (or worse) because they went too far. Every single person Ive known over the last 20 years that has decided to leave us early was on lots of meds (usually from VA) but it started with the booze. Get your head right and go to the gym instead. Love all you motherfuckers and tired of going to funerals. Love you but you need to love yourself too. S/F

I got the Naltrexone shot for the same reason. I don't ever want to quit drinking but I travel so much and hang with good friends who are Alphas like us. So you know how it goes. 0-100 ! My body gets pissed off at me after my epic binges. Anyways I'm using it to get into shape both physically and mentally. There's a time for libbo and there's a time for work. It's a productivity injection. A great tool. Give it a try if you're looking for a solid uplifting move.
Workout. Don't be a fat fuck.
Take time off from drinking. Don't be a drunk fuck.
