alcohol dependence
"After partying almost 30 years in a successful, trouble free life, I began taking antabuse pills a few years ago without a recovery program.  I was told about vivitrol and it interested me in quitting my prescription hydrocodone, benzo, and drinking. My 1st shot was 10 days ago and it does make your mind content. I can tell the drug is wrapped around my receptors. If I where to attempt to take a drink....it feels like I already had one. Not taking pills is no big deal either. I still take a sleep aid at night and Aleve  or Ibuprofen for anything else. I. Am now experiencing eating and sleeping like I've seen normal people do all my life.  A spiritual feeling should come along with that for those of you who are willing to make a change."
