Naltrexone

Firstly I want to thank those who have commented on my recent posts. I am very grateful for the support and commiserations about my husband's recent death. I have quit smoking (and alcohol) so many times over the last several weeks but keep resuming as a way of self-medicating away my grief. I realise how stupid this is and that it is not helping at all, and that my addictions are more emotional than physiological. Anyway, I decided to take myself to my doctor today to ask about naltrexone, a medication that I had read can help with these kinds of habitual additions and he has put me on it and I start tomorrow. This is a great incentive for me to finally stop both habits for good. Wish me luck!
