I tried the Sinclair method awhile ago. At first the naltrexone helped but it didn't last long. I really wasn't ready to quit I guess. I would drink even if I didn't have cravings...it was so stupid. I didn't find drinking to be unpleasurable, though. I just didn't crave alcohol as much. I've heard the shot is much more effective. Can't hurt to try it for a month if your insurance covers it. It's expensive.
