Just putting this out for those of us afflicted with alcoholism [View all]

Had a tele appointment with my doc this morning. I have been taking naltrexone for booze and have had decent run on maintaining sobriety. Around end of May I noticed I started thinking of drinking.

So he switched me to acomprostate end of May. And reading on this medicine it has been in use quite awhile. And it balances the chemicals in our alcoholic brains. So it has once again leveled me out as naltrexone did.

I used to hit AA taking naltrexone even though I was not doing cold turkey I do learn from my fellow alcoholics. And now with pandemic no AA so i just wanted put this out. Even out of pocket the cost is like $30 month supply. I’m humble in this affliction just wanted put this out for us who suffer.
