    I'm back :)

    Some of you might remember me, Scandinavian, for some somewhat stupid and drunken posts some time back ago.

    Anyway, I am considering going all of 2012 AF. I did november this year AF and it was in many ways good, albeight a bit boring because my social life is centered around drinkng.

    And of course it was the Antabuse that made AF November a reality.

    So what do you say, should I go all 2012 AF?

    (2. january 2012 to 30. december 2012.)

    Hi Scan,

    Sure, why not make your life better! Are you ready? Your mood says you're drunk. Should you wait until you're sober to make the decision?

    Lots of support and if you've been here, you know the drill.

    Sending you peace and strength.

      Scandivian, start now to look into things you can do when you first start off AF. Movies you wanted to see, charities you believe in, exercise, groups you enjoy, books you've wanted to read. Always better to have a goal, and something to fill your sober hours each day, and into the night.
      You've set yourself a big goal. But it's better to fall a few times and get right back on the path, than to never make the effort. Antabuse is a great weapon. It does give us a sometimes false sense of security, though. If you feel yourself slipping, take one. Or as long as you feel the need for that support. I've used that and other meds, and IMHO the psycholigical lift they give us is sometimes truly needed. My best wishes for your goal, and it's a wonderful thing to start off this early considering. But again, don't throw out the baby with the bath, if you slip up. Start off, and maintain, a positive thought, and you may RE-discover talents and interests that AL has taken from you. Keep posting, friend!

        unwasted and ruby: thanks for the support If I am doing it then it will be with Antabuse every day. Not necesarily the whole 250mg every day, but at least 125 mg every day I think. I have so many things I have to do in 2012 so it would really help me to be af.


        Anyway, I am drunk now, and I will tro to write another post tomorrow when I am sober.


        And once again many humble thank you's for the support. I *reallty* need and appreciate it.

          Scan, sending you hugs. We will look forward to hearing back from you. K9 and others have had great success with Antabuse, so that sounds like a good plan.

          Be sure to stop by the Newbie's Nest when you're ready.

            Great suggestion Ruby Willow, I will put that in my box of tools. There are so many unseen movies and unread books out there.

            Scandinavian, congratulations for your wise decision. Don't make the same mistake I've made and try to wing it with few tools. Use all the resources you have and on MWO there are so many.

            Good luck and keep posting.

              I am planning on having 2012 being an af year. I have had my last drink on May 21, 2011 and have not drank since. I will join you in being sober in 2012 (1/1/12-12/31/12). I plan to take it ODAAT and will stay here.

              And if your drunk, its best to make this decision when your sober and hangover free. I swore to myself that I would quit so many times when I was hungover (or in the early days drunk) and then once I started to feel better, I would forget my promise to myself or break it anyway and plan for my next time. One day I was getting tired of the hangovers, and I knew that I was no longer modding, so I quit for good and have not looked back.
              I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.

              Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.

              Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow.

                Hello all!

                I am sober now and feeling fine, but of course a little hung over.

                It is even more clear to me that I must make 2012 a AF year now when I have not drunk. I waste so much of my life sleeping off my hangovers and doing things I don't even remember doing. I actually watched the same documentary twice not knowing that I had seen it the day before. Only at the end did I remember watching it just 24 hours ago. A little funny but not in a good way.


                My one month with antabuse and no AL worked fine. I had some bad cravings, but I were prepared for it and made sure to be very tired from work and the gym, and coming home as late as possible, and that seemed to work very well for me.


                So there I have it, my bottle of Antabuse is waiting for January 2.nd 2012.


                (And once again, thanks for the replies, it makes all the difference.)
