Definitely look up the Sinclair Method. The idea is to always take naltrexone an hour before you drink. Also you only take naltrexone when you drink (this is key). Then just drink as normal. The naltrexone blocks the alcohol buzz, and you learn to not love it anymore over a period of months.

I'd add that "drinking as normal" after Naltrexone means "drink at least one unit of alcohol". I can't imagine wanting to have more than one or two drinks after Naltrexone - the closest thing is the feeling you had when you first tasted alcohol. It tastes bad and is devoid of any 'buzz'.
