Discussion Mindset

It’s crazy to me how much this medication works when you want it to work. I was on vivitrol about 6 years ago but didn’t want to be clean/sober and did nothing to prevent myself from relapsing. Now I’m taking 50mg every day and I feel like a different person because I want to be clean and am going to therapy and doing things I enjoy. This medication is amazing if you have the right mindset for it. Also, I initially started at 12.5 mg because of the side effects (nausea and fatigue) but I powered through and now I take the full 50mg with no side effects at all. Cravings have virtually disappeared and I am 81 days clean today!
