Hi Eyeshake. Good for you for pursuing therapy and Naltrexone. I have read that Naltrexone can increase your chances of sustained sobriety by as much as five times. This part of what you said really hit home:

Now there is a simple truth right there. It's almost enough to make me try another meeting (been to hundreds). Those folks definitely understand the special hell of alcoholism. It is also nice to have the face-to-face reinforcement of recovery and sober friends. Thanks for helping me see it a better light.
