[MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION] I've just read that and with medical approval I use it in a totally different way. I have prescribed 5mg doses deliberately because 5mg is not available in tablet form so it comes as a liquid medicine. I don't take it every day but can have a larger dose as a one off when the desire for alcohol hits and it almost instantly takes the desire away

And diazepam and baclafen... i go for the full package!

Jazus Toe Knee - that's some cocktail :egad:
Molls ( :hug: ) gave me a few antabuse when I started out AF. I only took one every 5 days as reading about horrible side effects scared me shitless. That and the fact it stays in the body up to 7 days. Maybe not true but I chose to believe it and wasn't prepared to take a chance. It worked.

[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION].............omg I hope you realise that now I can only think of Arsey and Tony as the Blues Brothers :happy2:

Haven't spoken to Jenny today, she's spoken to Mr JC. She's been in Uni today.............must be zorsted as she had to do a full three hours . She's spoken to Uni about whats going on and they've been very understanding. House looks as if its a definite but until its signed on the dotted line we're not going to go crazy.

Morning troops.

Day 3 beckons.

Typically procrastinating - though just up - coffee not hit the "awake" button yet.

Morning and good stuff lads - day 3 - prepare for some anxiety but should deffo begin to feel more in control- I know that knowing what to expect helped me a lot - still just focus on today- awake early - youngest is just launching into the world of driving so bit mumsy and nervous - I'll get used to that too - did with all the others

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Morning,
Think I was opening both my eyes for the first time on day 3 of my last de-tox and starting to feel slightly human and the lovely realisation I never need do this again if I just didn't pick up that first drink.

Signed myself for a lecture on The Changing Face of Alcohol and Drugs............only a few hours but it starts at 7:30..............in the morning :egad: I know the bloke who's running it and he's a great speaker.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Last night I had a drinking dream... how long since the last one? No idea.... dreams are just shite yeah?? or maybe no?? I've been under a lot of stress lately and culminated in my locking myself in the loo at work for half an hour yesterday sobbing my heart out.... move along... last night I dreamt I was on holidays and I was drinking - and my lovely little mum (deceased since a year before I got sober) appeared in my dream with a loving but so sad face - just looking at me.. loving me but bleeding inside for me... so it doesn't take a rocket scientist for me to work out what that's all about -- a few years sober and still.......... this is indeed a cunning baffling disease -- today - just not cunning enough for me - but unless I take care who knows....
Now I take care....

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Molly... our dreams can wreak havoc on our waking lives for sure, but don't read too much into it. Move on with your life as it is now. (AF) I think that sometimes people tend to over analyze everything in their lives, until it resembles one of my knitting projects....a tangled mess of yarn. You are a strong woman....stay that way! Your Mum would be so proud of who you are today!

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Ahh Molls, I reckon she's looking after you.

You know I was a million times closer to my Gran than my mother ............I have been having frequent dreams of my Gran the last few weeks. She's alive and 103 years old (it wasn't impossible as she was 100 when she did shuffle off) but she get the impression she was watching me get to over 60.............partly because she could brag around her village she had a 60 year grand daughter but the making sure I was okay.

Now don't you go crying in the toilets, come and chew our ears off.

And a wave to Jude.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Ah Molls - I would take that dream as a positive.
Yer Mam is for sure watching over you and that dream was to show you .....
You will ALWAYS wake from a dream and it happened to remind you to be grateful that when you do wake up, no matter what's going on, you have that ..... sobriety

And WTF is going on over there in work to make you cry ? Tell them all to shag off or I'll be over :fist:

Evenng dahlings, sweeties and luvvies,
Just booked to see Julius Caesar. 22nd March. Its one of those that's performed live then telecast to certain cinemas simultaneously to us plebs what can't afford the theatre.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-January 2018

Howdy troops - am pooped.

Strange them dreams, eh, Molly? Suppose the one thing I do recognise when I'm not drinking is that i do dream (or remember them)... though having said that canny mind what last's night was and I walk up twice to it, thinking i should remember that... As for your dream, maybe you answered it all by yourself but those 4 simple words "Now I take care". because you do. Very well methinks.

Day 3 been fine - no angsty feelings, but through a wobbly at my cat when i got in when she made me drop food i was making on the floor. Previously i through wobblies at the cat when i was muggle-brained cos I was hungover or feeling guilty or summit... and i know it's only 2 days off the booze, but maybe it was me nerve ends being nervy, or maybe it was (and this thought did go through my head) that i thought f*** what's my reward for a tough slog at school? Get home and gotta read for uni, and my cat does;t even give me a hug but meows loudly, sprints around the flat then shits in her tray.

Which is, admittedly, preferable to anywhere else.

Better now cos I'm lounging, at least gave reading a go and now tiredness beckons me to give up any form of work....

Hope the day 3-ers have a successful one.

And JC - nout wrong wi seeing the theatre on screen in a cinema. And being a darn sight cheaper is always a good thing in my book of McScrooginess :happy2:

Am hungry again so going to raid for nibbles, toast.
