I’m the worst alcoholic I’ve ever met with absolutely zero cravings to drink.
Like, I’m only 64 days today without drinking alcohol.
But that was only because I went off my Zoloft.
So clearly I have the desire to drink at times.
But no cravings man.
I mean I remember being an alcoholic and not being able to drink cuz I was trying to stay sober it was just hell on earth, insanity, all I ever think about was alcohol.
Now on Zoloft+naltrexone
No cravings at all. This is why I am a rare breed.
Cuz a lot of alcoholics get sober but how many don’t have any cravings for it at all??? Meds have surely taken me a long way in this.
I’m not sure if this makes me have any special powers eventually. Probably not. But it is sure a burden off my back.
I was a binge drinker and always got into trouble but I quit drinking alcohol for five years I was sober and celibate then I had a fallback with alcohol and now I e been sober two years.
It’s something a lot of people struggle with and hats off to you for getting to that place!
I can drink everyday but I don’t wake up thinking of alcohol. I think at a point before the sz I was struggling a bit it was an issue for me but I guess I never really got those cravings. I can go days or weeks without a drink to no ill effects but in the interests of health I’m getting off the booze for a while this next year!
Hey so yea that makes you strong. I like wine
I barely drink it. I do like the taste of a cold beer. Only 2 or 3 tops every once in a while like tonight.
I did drugs from 1986-1990, mostly smoking crack and drinking. My life at that time revolved around getting and smoking crack as much as I possibly could. When I was in a group home in 1990 I started going to meetings held there in the dining room. I had been going to that meeting for a month or two and I had managed to not drink or do drugs.
But one night I was laying in my bed upstairs and the craving hit me like a ton of bricks out of nowhere. Laying there, I felt the old obsession and compulsion to use come back. I feverishly made plans to get up the next morning, catch the bus for an hour or two to borrow a $100 from some family friends than go to my old haunts to get crack. The old insanity about drugs was back. And then I fell asleep.
But I woke up the next morning and I remembered my plans and I thought to myself, “That was crazy.” And my obsession and compulsion to do drugs was lifted from me overnight. And I have not had that c raving for any drugs or alcohol since then. I think this happened because of all the knowledge from going to meetings had been imprinted into my head. I just had enough knowledge to stick in my brain and overpower the cravings.
Well done man. I used to have a problem with drugs but one day just decided theres nothing there for me and i walked away. Wish i could do the same with cigarettes but i still enjoy them. And i guess they not ruining my life. I may die a few years early though.
