Is it okay if I do TSM but just... don't drink?

My understanding is that you're supposed to take the naltrexone before drinking and then... drink. And then this eventually leads to extinction. I've tried it for a few days, and with the naltrexone I find that when I drink I just don't enjoy it.

I believe the method says that you should NOT take the naltrexone and then NOT drink, because then the extinction won't happen.

But then today I took the naltrexone and thought, "crap, I'm not going to enjoy the alcohol anyway, why should I be forced to drink and waste the money?"

This feels like a stupid question but, what if I just didn't take the naltrexone AND didn't drink?
