Good point MB. I got a bit mixed up there.
HG, taper tonight, drink less tomorrow, make sure you get your meds, look at your doctor's schedule on Monday, and report back here, OK?
I think its best you follow doctors orders and we'll just help you with the finer details.
Your doctor has the know how and we have the first hand experience and your back, so together we will make a mean team.

I love this place. :thanks:

I'm just waiting. This is the longest weekend. I have exactly half a fifth, which is what I'll drink tonight - that's half of what I usually drink. I'll be done by 7 pm or so. Then I'll take antabuse Monday after work - about 4 pm. My bf will stay over that night. I'm so anxious.

Hi Hippiegirl,

I post on the Monthly Abs thread so you may not know who I am. :welcome: If you're used to drinking a fifth a day, I would seriously wait 48 hours before you take AB. When my drinking was at its heaviest (2008), I ordered ALL the meds in case I needed/wanted them....AB, Topa, Baclofen, Campral. I asked the nurse at River Pharmacy (online-Canada) about the soonest I could take AB if I needed to, and she said "absolutely, wait 48 hours after your last drink, " because of the amount of the booze that had built up in my system. At that time, I was drinking hard booze almost every night. It will take a lot longer than you think to get that 1/2 of a fifth out of your system. You can do this....find ways to take your mind off the booze....and drink lots of water with fresh squeezed lemon. It will help your liver flush the booze out of your system quicker. Another great tip that I got from a nurse about helping to flush your liver of AL is to mix cranberry juice (organic if you can find it in the organic food aisle of your grocery store), sparkling water/club soda/seltzer, and the squeeze of a couple of lemon wedges. The combination of these three things will really help you....and if you're dehydrated from drinking, this will help. Stay with us Lots of good people here. PM me if you need to.

Hey Mama Bear! You are lookin' gooooood! I love love love those glasses. Tres chic. How are you doing today?

Kdog and Hippie....PM means Private Message. My apologies for not including the definition sooner. So, if you want to PM me...then click on my name...and a box will come up and it will ask if you want to Send Rusty a Private Message...and then you can send me a private message that is seen only by me becomes it comes right to my e-mail address. People on this site are SO good with confidentiality so feel free to do so. If you want to send someone a PM, you might want to ask them first.

Also, when you see our names and next to our names, the little ball to the right is lit and is green and not blue, that means we are online and logged into MWO. Also, please know that many of us....including me.....may not be logged onto MWO but are around and are reading and lurking.....so don't be too quick to think no one's around to offer help.
