After I lost my friend at the beginning of February I have just continued to drink more and more. It used to only be on the weekends, and then little by little I started adding weeknights into the mix, this sucks cuz I have a monday -friday job 8-5, and I end up spending the day fighting nausea and generally feeling pretty bad because of the hangover. I can't stop though. I immeadiately want to start drinking when I get home, I drank every night this week except one. I'm literally killing myself and my relationship with this addiction. 

Today I am going to ask my p-doc about a medication called naltrexone, which is supposed to kill the desire to drink if you take if before you start drinking. Only thing is, it sucks for your liver and blocks opioid receptors, so I couldn't take any Ativan within a few days of taking it. I'm afraid he's going to take me off my meds if I tell him I have a problem with alcohol.

Have any of you guys dealt with something similar? Anyone able to get over it? How'd you do it?
