If Chris won't give you money...you do need the car for emergencies for the kids after all....borrow some money from the friends coming over sweetie.
I know...it sucks. But you need to get to CADS. Not to mention meetings.

naltrxone is similar to campral and im on that and it is working MIRACLES i havent had caravings at all for almost two weeks...no side effects for me either i just cant believe after 10 years a pill is helping when nothing else did...i wished i had seen a psychiatrist sooner,my family md did not "believe" i am alhoholic because consequences are not external...i drank alone at home so no dui,no lost job etc but oh my the hangovers and vomiting and blackouts...how much proof does one need and yet i too did not fully believe.this drug has kept me from even THINKINK about drinking i am amazed! it doesnt work for everyone,though...but worth a try

Vivitrol
I started taking Vivitrol about 5 weeks ago which I think is the same as Naltrexone. It's actually a shot you get once a month. I got my second one on 9/27. I feel like it's really working. When I imagine taking a shot of whiskey I don't get that same warm, fuzzy feeling in my belly. I think that's a good sign.

Me too
Congratulations! I am on Vivitrol too. It is the 30 day shot version of Naltrexone. I have to be honest in that I am sitting here writing this as my wife is having a glass of wine across the room. I could care less. Therapy has been an asset and I find it most helpful in talking success.
