HG... Please don't hate on yourself. If You have an addiction to alcohol you do. Yet there are people here who have kicked it and that shows that You can too. I abuse wine More often than I care to admit but I don't think I am a bad person...I just make some bad decisions as to how I am dealing with the stressors in my life. We can all do better... We can all improve ourselves. Please don't give up.

I am here for you too HG. Please don't be so down on yourself. That's another thing alcohol does, it robs us of our self-esteem. Once you kick the beast to the curb, you will see what a worthwhile person you are. Don't let AL convince you otherwise. It's a conniving, scheming SOB that is trying to convince you that you are nothing. Don't believe it. I don't. I know you are worth more than that. Hang in there and let us know how it goes tonight.

Hi HG, I just saw this thread, as it stood out on the forum's home page. Please don't be so hard on yourself, its really hard to make that first step. You have already made all the right steps. All you have to do now is to take the action to taper town, take the antabuse and follow through.

I posted a shout out on the Topa thread to you to say how much it meant to me that you chatted to me last night. Even though you were still not sure you reached out. I was trying to help you but last night you helped me in a BIG way and I ended up sleeping much better than I wouldve otherwise.

You have a big heart honey and you are between friends. You are a winner and you can beat this thing, just please be kind to yourself. We will beat this thing together, one day at a time. Just be brave and take that first step, we are here for you.

Lots of hugs, love and support.

Yeah, I'm ok. Drunk. My bf was supposed to come over to help me through my trigger time - 3pm through7pm. No show. I imagine he'll show up in an hour or so, pretending ignorance. Fuck him.

Hi Hippy Im sorry I havent been in touch I lost what thread you were on. Dont worry about things you have just put things off for a few days, you will be ok. Can you get a few more days or better still a week off work. Tell them you have flu or something. You will probably need a couple of days free to take the valuim properly. I used Librium but I think the effects are pretty similar and you do need to take them as per dosage, starting high on the first day then tapering down over the next five days, it wont work if you try to take less or wait until you start to feel shakey, they are there to help you while you alcohol is leaving your body and to keep your body calm so it can start to get better, when I did home detox I stayed on the couch with a quilt for the first few days watching whatever crap was on tv, it helped take my mind off stuff even if I couldnt actively watch it the murmour of it in the background was soothing to me.

So Hippy dont worry just re plan and start again, keep posting and I will try to remember where you are this time

Bed time for me HG but I'm with you in spirit. I really hope and trust that you will be OK tonight. Remember its crucial to take your next dose tomorrow at the same time and the next one the day after. I know that you've done your homework and you know you that you'll feel a bit wobbly for the first couple of days because of detox and that it will take the Antabuse 4-7 days to leave your system. But after a few days you'll feel so great waking up without hangovers with renewed energy and more youthful looks, you'll be looking forward to taking those little pills. So proud of you. DBx
