    Geekteeth's Journey

    Nora, thanks, but unfortunately I slipped .....but my doctor agreed to give me Antabuse, so there is a positive. Fly away thanks, it seems to of died down for now, though it's the weekend coming up, so things could change!!

      GT,

      So sad to hear you slipped mate...but be careful with Antabuse, I have heard unpleasant stories of mixing Al with that stuff. Hang in there with the antabuse and do keep posting on your progress.

        The good news is that you came right back here, changed up your plan, and you're ready to do battle again.

          Hey Ben - let's get back up & start again. I slipped too. No, I didn't slip. I walked into it with my eyes wide open. You know what? I found out that I don't like it!!! So, let's grab hold & start again. :h

            Guys thank you all for your support.

            Nora, sorry you slipped(or not), but glad ya back up here again!

            Well, I started my antabuse today. May sound silly but it feels like a new start! I did not have any effects from aftershave which is good...still gotta be careful. Mum is doubting the medication as she thinks If I want to drink that bad then I will, pill or no pill. I guess the trust from people gets lost along the way when you keep telling them you will stop and then cock it up and drink again...suppose I gotta prove her wrong!

                  Right, I know this is random, but I only started taking my Antabuse today, and I have noticed that my urine smells of cannabis! Or along those lines... Anyone heard of this?

                    Ok, another day without AL, and I am feeling so good about it, even more so becuase it's the weekend. My brother bought me the sky sports package so I could watch the football, I explained that this was way to expensive, but he told me that it will be cheaper in the long run as I wouldn't use it as an excuse to go to the pub and watch it. What an absolute sweet heart! He is older than me and has special needs, I have never taken into account how he feels about my drinking. I love him dearly. Right, this Antabuse seems to have given me a new start, but I am feeling incredibly tired on it...anyone had these symptoms! Thanks for listening to me ramble....much appreciated!!

                      Geek, that is just the sweetest gift to you from your friend. And it gives you insight into how people who care about you are concerned, and care so dearly about you. Use this as a tool; not for embarrassment or judgement should you slip up, but as a wonderful reason to get back up and be there for your loved ones. There very well may be the day he needs you, and you want to be able to be available if that time comes. I've been in the place where I could NOT go out to help others, because of AL, and it's something we don't think about, initially. We're concerned with ourselves, how the drinking affects US, how we LOOK to others. But if we really think, we'll realize there's love, concern, and many more things that make them make their efforts. It's not a tit-for-tat, you owe him, sort of situation. It's caring about those who care for us, and wanting to be there for them when they're in need. Past regrets are useless. But we CAN become the person we want to be - today, tomorrow, and in all our future. Judgements just don't convey that to us. Love and concern does.

                        Hi Geek Teeth good for you for starting your own log,It will help you when you want to see how far you have come,have you checked out the toolbox thread in the monthly abstinence thread,ts a must read.You didn't get to where you are today with your problem drinking so its unwise to expect it to just go away over night,it will take some hard work and determination but it can be done, good luck and keep posting.

                            Hi all. well I have just got through day 6...and I am feeling incredibly low. I have been taking my antabuse for the past 6 days, but I seem to be very very tired during the day. I am also on anti deps, and they dont seem to be working right now.

                            Maybe it is because I know I cannot have a drink,which yes is a good thing, but I had a lot of urges to go to the pub today, but of course I could not as the antabuse can prove fatal if I drink.

                            I went past a pub yesterday that I used to drink in, and was very very tempted to just get out of the car and and have a binge. so, as much as the antabuse is making me scared to drink, the urge is still there. So there is still an underlying problem that needs to solved.
                            sorry to babble on, its just this place is the only place that I can express how I am feeling.

                            I hope you are all well.

                            Ben

                              Oh Ben! I understand completely. When you first stop drinking, it's normal to feel so tired and depressed. Then things start looking better. Be sure to talk to your doctor about your meds if you need to.
                              Congratulations on Day 6. That is WONDERFUL!!!!!
