Greener glad to hear that Naltrexone is doing the job for you, when it was prescibed to me I was told Naltrexone is only helpful when it is used as part of an addiction treatment program like AA.

I was one of those folks that it did nothing for, (I wish it had) but I know a lot of people that it really helped them get through thier first month or 2 sober in AA.

Just to verify that what I was told was correct I went to the following site Naltrexone: MedlinePlus Drug Information and found the below quote from it:
Naltrexone is only helpful when it is used as part of an addiction treatment program.It is important that you attend all counseling sessions, support group meetings, education programs, or other treatments recommended by your doctor.
So are you doing anything except taking the Naltrexone?

I assume your doctor is not going to have you use it long term because there are some really nasty side effects according to that same site.
