        Hi guys,
        I all in for April. I have a prescription for Anatabuse & April is going to be my month, had a really crappy day, & i would normally dive into a bottle of wine, but not going to happen. I cant wait to get my joy back.

          well everyone, I just took my first dose of Antabuse, i got the prescription last week & have spent that week staring at the little bottle of pills, I didnt know if I was ready to take that step, i wanted it so much, now I have got it, AF, I actually started crying when i took them, (tears of relief, happiness, freedom) I kinda made it a little special occassion, had my computer next to me, as soon as i finished drinking that glass I had to post it to you guys, I wasnt getting anyware before, might get 3 weeks then would cave, now drinking is not an option, it is permantly off the menu.
          I am happy I cant stop crying. going to have alittle look round the boards,

                April is my birth month, so my birthday present to myself is 30 days AF.

                I'm aiming high....

                  Good morning April!

                  It feels so great to wake up hangover/remorse/guilt free on this beautiful Saturday morning!

                  Hippy, what a great birthday present to yourself!

                  Witchy, congratulations on taking that step! I've heard several people on these threads having great success with antabuse.

                  Mario, Tribal, Not, Jenn, AK, Sharky and all to come (sorry if I missed anyone!) have a wonderful AF day.

                      Welcome kirkos! Just on in! We love newbies!

                      Good morning everyone! good to see were all here and there's more joining! Hey Mario! Thanks for coming!
                      Witchy I have thought very hard about taking antibuse also. The mouthwash salad dressing thing scares me though. And someone slipping me something with AL in it scares me also. good on you though for doing whatever it takes!
                      I was suppose so start AD's last night and I didn't. I really think it's the AL that depresses me not well me. I don't like the disconnected feeling I get with AD's so were gonna give this a go with excessive (including yoga) and supps (I'm up to 6 now! the addition of the 3-6-9 omega has really helped my mood). Have a wonderful April 2 and day 2 for me! The weather is wonderful lets all get some outside time today! Enjoy the AF life!

                        Morning everyone
                        Jenny - i thought long & hard about taking Antabuse,for some of the reasons you outlined, but in the end I couldnt get past 3 weeks, so I have told my mother (as I am living at home) so she is awear to let me know if cooking anything with wine in it. i recently just went off my AD's cold turkey, - that has been interesting - have you tried something like St John Worts as a natural alternative to AD's. I also have just started taking a 5HTP sleeping pill, and have actually slept for more than 3 hours in a row for the last two nights ( i normaly have an extreamly fragmented sleeping pattern always have).
                        Anyway kids it nice to see the April group gaining momentum. I have to head off to work, so have a great day/night & I will check in later

                          YES! It sure does feel good to wake up "hangover/remorse/guilt free".
                          I am proud of myself. Proud is a much better feeling then guilt.

                              I'm in for April.
                              Moderating through March didn't make me happy, whereas an AF February made me feel good most of the time. So here we go again.

                                Jenny - I too thought it was AL that was depressing me however my depression got worse after I gave up drinking last year. My doctor told me that it is quite common for people who stop using AL to get depressed as we are not self medicating any more. Why not try them for 6 months and see how you feel. I know I feel sooooo much better taking them than when I didnt.
                                Hope everyone's weekend is going well. Mine has been busy but good especially as I have had not thought about drinking for one second!:yay:
                                I finally got it!
