    Day 1

    Hey all. I've been here since last month. I'm on day 1 again. I've had a good 4 day AF run about a week ago. I'm glad I'm getting better. I ordered the antabuse and am so excited. I wish it was here now. My goal is to be AF through these holidays, and beyond. I was sober before for years, but started drinking a year and a half ago. It's time to stop. It's not fun anymore. The day after is filled with guilt and shame for not being able to stop. I don't pass out and I make it to bed, but life is just passing me by.

    Day 1

    Hey MM, I'd love to hear how the Antabuse goes for you - keep us posted OK?? Is Antabuse the one that means al has no effect so there's no point drinking??
    Sober holidays sound like a great goal - thanks for the inspiration :l

      Good for you MM! It's great that you recognize that it just isn't "fun" anymore; since you've done long-term sobriety before, you know that our memories about that can get distorted... so, hold on to it, when temptations come rolling along!

      angelcakes, antabuse is the drug that actually makes you very sick if you do drink... the one you are thinking of is naltrexone...

        Hey,
        Antabuse is the one that makes you sick as a dog if you drink with it. I think the one your talking about is topomax, I'm not sure though. I'm almost positive antabuse will work for me. I hate getting sick.

            Thanks guys. I'm not giving up. I gave my husband my ATM card so I can't go buy beer while he's working. Sounds retarded, but him working nights is a trigger for me. I don't want it back until I'm on the antabuse.

                  Hi Montana,

                  Your plan is far from retarded - it's the kind of dedicated, do-whatever-it-takes approach which is a great way to start. Have you read RJ's book? She looked at meds, supps, hypno cd's, diet and exercise to attack her own drinking problem. Certainly the antabuse will keep you from drinking, but you may pick up some strategies and insights from looking at other aspects of her program. Many of us have found it very helpful. Of course, don't be a stranger! The folks that return frequently seem to enjoy greater success. Don't know if it's the discipline, or our charm that does the trick!

                              This may not be easy but it is doable. Do whatever it takes to stay sober. Come here and read and post often.
