I quit drinking after more than 25 years of problematic drinking by taking naltrexone just before drinking for 3-4 weeks. Given my prior experience with alcohol and trying to quit, it was the easiest thing I've ever done.
I urge people who have a problem with drinking and wish to quit, who for whatever reason do not feel that 12 step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous are right for them to find a doctor who is willing and able to prescribe naltrexone and have a serious discussion with them. Had I had access to it and known it was effective as it is I probably would have been able to stop drinking 20 years sooner than I did.
