Naltrexone

I will start with naltrexone, which can help people who have difficulty regulating their drinking have a more natural and sustainable relationship with alcohol should they choose to not cut it out of their lives entirely.

    Australia. It’s schedule 4 (prescription only) that is almost never prosecuted for drugs with no recreational potential

      Honestly, nobody would ever care about its schedule outside of knowing you need a dr to prescribe. It really should be OTC, zero abuse potential. It helps you prevent drug abuse.

      And It never would be, the Crown would never fuck around with something like this. You would win in both respective Courts (real+public opinion).

      I mean that you need to be sure what you’re using is legitimate and quality controlled and fucking covered on the public’s dime, not yours. We live in fucked up societies and they need to start paying and helping people handle their shit.

      Here’s what you’re gonna do:

      1. Setup dr appointment.
      2. Bring your phone/this thread.
      3. Ask your dr about naltrexone/nalfamene and express assertively that you would benefit from their help with this and if they aren’t already familiar with it, might help with other patients also.

      They may need you to commit to trying therapy in combination as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Agree and commit to doing that as the means to get what you need.

      Also, re:that, try keep an open mind, I know it seems lame and on a practical level I would never rely on or trust AA-type stuff as the primary first-line treatment; but as long as it grants you access to the thing that is the gold standard treatment (naltrexone/nalfamene), its all good and may help you with some other triggers or things that are tied in with that.
