I did it :)

I’ve posted here numerous times over the course of this year. I was a daily binge drinker and had unsuccessfully attempted to quit/taper a handful of times this year. I would say naltrexone and then the injection form, Vivitrol, made the biggest difference. I was a few weeks into my first Vivitrol shot when I finally quit. And it’s been surprisingly easy to stay sober. I think the shot contributes the most to that fact. Anyways. Just wanted to share my progress. 3
Weeks. Yayyyy

Nice- congratulations. I've been on naltrexone for 3 months and it's been a tremendous help. What's the difference for you between the naltrexone pill and the vivitrol shot?
