Bizi, I do understand what you're going through. I had a heck of a time with alcohol abuse about 12 to 14 years back. One of the things that helped me a lot, initially, was the medication Campral (generic acomprosate). It is meant to help decrease alcohol cravings, but doesn't make a person sick if they drink. It was far more helpful for me than naltrexone. However, it was maybe about a year ago that my psychiatrist recommended that my father (who struggled with alcohol abuse) perhaps get a naltrexone injection. That ensures that people don't forget to take the medication, and also it is longer-lasting in the system. He said the injectable form seems to be more effective than the pill.

What really made me quit the alcohol abuse was that at one point I was on a bipolar medication mix that a) Made the taste of alcohol less pleasant, and b) Made me feel unwell when I drank as much as two drinks in a row. In the case of "b", it was not antabuse, just a particular bipolar medication cocktail. Basically it was one heck of a load of bipolar meds. I'm unsure which one or ones made that happen. That, or it may have been a psychological reaction to me having a number of serious incidents with alcohol.

AA is always an option. I had a period when AA was actually a trigger to drink, but the support works the opposite for many.
