Naltrexone- does the “honeymoon” period go away?
Later today I’ll be on day 9 of naltrexone and I haven’t felt an urge to drink and I feel really good. I went to a concert this week completely sober for my first time and it was amazing. I told my husband that I feel like a baby seeing and experiencing for the first time, because before I was under the influence for basically anything social.
But I know it’s feeling too good to be true right now.
Will Naltrexone stop working? Like will my subconscious mind eventually figure it out and say, “ahhh you don’t want that pill. You want booze. Lots of booze. That pill will just make you not feel good..” Or will the pill eventually just not do anything anymore?
I’m hoping to only take it until I no longer have the thoughts to drink and then only take it on the rare occasion where my mind tries to convince me to drink.
