Scandinavian has 6 hours AF, and aim for 6 months :)

No more whining and bickering back and forth from Scandinavian anymore, I just popped some Antabuse, and I plan to stay on it a loong time


I feel very optimistic and happy about it!



So tonight I will get no sleep as always when stopping AL, so I will try to do lots of exercise as late as possible, and watch some movies all night

Good job Scand!

I know it's not easy to just TTDP (take the damn pill) but once you do, drinking is not even an option, so now you can focus on other things!

Can you try some Melatonin for sleep? Also be sure to eat plenty and drink lots of fluids. You CAN do this. I'm proud of you for takin' that pill!

Hang in there!

Hi Scan,

Just sending you support and strength. I too had to test the waters - not even close to being worth it! Sober is so much better - it just takes some of us longer than others to figure it out!

Best to You.:l

Thanks for the support K9 and Unwasted!


I feel very happy about my decision, and I'll go jogging and go to the gym later to make the evening shorter. The workout will probably not be the best because of yesterdays heavy drinking, but the most important thing right now is that I want to do things other than sit and drink

Good plan Scan!

I've found that when I go to the gym after work, I get home so late that there's really not time for anything else anyway. Stay busy and hydrated. You'll get through this!

So happy to see this post today. I didn't know what to say for the best on the last post being such a newbie and all that. Wishing you the very best. You can do it!

Yes, do whatever u need to get through these hours. Maybe read instead of films? Think calm, be calm you can do it!

I believe you had 17 weeks sober before your vacation, right? What did you do during ALL that time? I am sure some new habits and activities formed to keep you busy. Fall back on those and if all else fails, go to bed! There were many times that I beat the sun to bed in the early days!

Hi Hoping..and Welcome!

You're right, mixing AB and alcohol is dangerous and potentially deadly. I am hoping that Scand has been sober for 2 days before taking his AB...although you can take it 12 hours after your last drink, but to be safe I would wait at least 24...

Hoping - you should join us over in the Newbies Nest...we'd love to get to know you!

Sorry about your reaction Hoping...I had one also and it was horrible. Not ER bad, but bad enough!

I've found that everyone reacts to AB differently. I have no reactions or side effects on it other than alcohol. Some people can't wear perfume or use mouthwash.

I hope Scand checks in soon! (Hint, hint)
