Hey homie! Fellow drunkard here, got sober off the drink (and hella other shit) in 2020. Did it all straight cold turkey and it fucking sucked but is well worth it in the long run. Idk how the naltrexone is supposed to work, but I'd suggest taking it if it was prescribed to you.
So, what helped me a lot is realizing that, as addicts, we replace one addiction with another. On top of that, when you're not using, you have a lot of free time and you gotta do something with it. I ended up making the conscious decision to make art every time I wanted to use; I ended up making art every fucking day for about a year which, due to the lockdowns, is just what I had to do to make it by considering I couldn't work to fill time.

Find your art, whatever it may be. Hope it helps.
