I went to see my Dr. who said I should try Vivitrol injection once a month. I wanted to stop my drinking I cant go on another year like this.

Day 1 Monday June 30th
I had a hard time getting this approved I didn't know why until I seen how much the shot cost. I t was 850.00 a month but they approved it.
I got the shot at about 3pm and that night I didn't have any urge to drink. It doesn't help with physical withdrawl symptoms. The nurse said to ween my self off so instead of vodka and my normal half a 30 pack i went to 8 beers Utah beers and I had a hard time drinking them.
The symptoms started that night with waking up every hour. The next day I was nauseous i felt out of my mind and shakey. I drank two 24s to ease it today is worse I still do not want a drink but to calm the physical effects I may have to. My drs wont prescribe anything to help the withdrawls they said if it gets bad to go to the er. Symptoms are really bad today I am going to try to keep decreasing my intake and hopefully by Saturday all will be good. ]]> Angella http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/blogs/angella/2267-day-1-2-3.html
