Day 6/ Doing OK

[Avalanche]

Hello all,

Just thought I'd say hello

I'm on Day 6 A/F with the help of some Valum for withdrawals and Antabuse, so I just cannot drink.

Feeling a little more Human Today, the first 3 days were pretty awful but I'm now able to look people in the eye...

The anxiety and guilt we put ourselves through is truly awful, Alcohol just sucks all confidence out of me and leaves me helpless...

I'm over the worst of the withdrawals and, almost weaned off the Valium, couldn't have a drink for a good Week even if I stopped taking the Antabuse Today (which I have no intention of doing)

So I'm all set up to give sobriety a bloody good try!

Wish me luck 👍

Avalanche, Just notched up 6 days here also. Have been taking AB as its the only drug that has helped me. ( Tried it a few years ago and stopped.....what a disaster!!) It helps me a lot. I know I just cant drink and so it does help with cravings. The thing I find is there is no argument going on in my head, "will I" or "wont I "drink. it just makes it easier. So I am hoping this time I can finally beat the beast!!! I am trying to keep super busy and that also helps. I have a work plan of jobs each day to do and it keeps me focused...not to much idle time. If I can help you with advice on AB or u just want a chat, please PM me. And yes good Luck!!Just realised your in Melbourne. I am in Victoria also.
