alcohol dependence
"27 y/o F, full-time musician, been a heavy drinker for 7 years. At first it was all for fun, then it became a necessity to escape myself. My primary drink choice was wine. 2 bottles a day on average. Today is my 9th day sober! I have a sponsor and am working the 12-step program in conjunction with Naltrexone. So far, this drug has been AMAZING. It does make me tired, so I take it at night before bed. The few times a craving has come forward, it has been quick and easy to push aside. 

Alcohol is the answer, not the problem, therefore, I believe if you don't work at the root of your problem, this drug will be nothing more than a temporary crutch. Best of luck to you all in your recovery! We can do this!"
