This is what I understand and have been doing (started on Nal last Fri). 25mg 1st day, one hour before you drink. 25 mg 2nd day, one hour before you drink. Thereafter, 50mg 1hr before you drink whenever you are going to drink. Always take your Nal no matter what. If you thought you weren't going to drink, and then can't handle it and decide to do so, take your pill and then try to wait the hour. You should always carry a pill!
No NAL should be taken on days when you will not drink. It is counter-intuitive but you actually SHOULD drink when you take NAL. It is part of the re-wiring process. Because of that, you don't want to take Nal to help cravings.
Good luck and let us know how you are doing, when you start, etc.
