Went and saw a new p-doc today. He was really nice and helpful, but turns out by lookin at his credentials, he's just a m-doc that works in the behavioral medicine dept. but he did consult with his p-doc supervisor that also came and talked with me.
We decided to try out Naltrexone just to see if it can help me make the complete trasition from irresponsible college student drinking to responsible working adult drinking. I've wrangled the outright alcohol abuse problem by my own will. Just dont feel Im where I should be yet on the drinking responsibly end of things, as shown by the events on Thanksgiving that got me into this mess. Apprehensive about getting back on any kind of rx drug, but he assured me it wont make me a zombie or anything like the depakote and risperdal. Here goes nothing. gonna pick up my rx tomorrow and give it a try

Hoping it works for you. I was on naltrexone for a while and it did seem to help.

Took my first dose of Naltrexone today. so far so good. and the doc I saw was a resident in psychiatry. must have missed that in my quick scan of his office for credentials.
Went and spent the night with the little lady last night and slept in. today was the only day this week i didnt have booked with appointments throughout the morning. felt good to relax for once. Good night at work so far. Goin out after for kareokee with the bartender from my regular spot. I love to sing and havent in a while so it should be fun. gonna stick to N/A beer again, since i wont have a d/d. tho i would like to put this new med to the test.

Went to the clinic for a general health checkup and get my foot looked at. Ended up getting my ears cleaned out, tetanus shot updated, 5 vials of blood drawn for liver enzyme and STD testing, and a nice shard of glass removed from my left heel.
The lady doc couldn't tell me what my man junk issue was, which has me a tad worried. I have way too many 'what-ifs" in my life right now. What if... -I have Ghonnaherpasyphillaids? -I have to do 3 months in prison? -the company doesn't make it through bankruptcy and the mine shuts down? -I get a lifetime ban on my CDL? But hey the world ends in a few hours so who gives a ****, right? HAHAHA stupid mother****ers. Hope everyone is doin well

I agree what if the world ends, all our problems will be over! But knowing my luck it'll continue.
