This. After taking Naltrexone a few times I lost the urge to drink and stopped drinking completely. Works great, though I had weird side effects whenever I took it (I had the unexplicable need to stretch my muscles, all of them, for a few hours after waking up. Much like what people do when they are bored or sleepy - not sure what's the right word for it.) But yeah, it does work, one just needs to want to stop drinking and the meds do the rest - that simple. I am not sure if the book is needed, get the prescription, take it 1hr before drinking every time you want to drink, and watch your dependence vanish.
