Why shouldn't I start antiabuse?

Siren:
Not easy when you live w/another drinker. I know. I find keeping food around and eating helps with the cravings. I will worry about weight gain after the cravings ease off.

Right now, I thank God for this Antabuse. I'm so glad not to have those arguments in my head to drink or not to drink. I'm glad to know I won't. I'd be too afraid. I'm having difficulty sleeping, but I know that will go with time. I know I'm no where out of the woods, but I still sort of feel free. Those struggles on whether to drink were tiring and I had so much anxiety and fear of drinking and doing something stupid. I'm glad it's over.

Well Done X Wino. I am the same here on AB and 8 days af today. I know that IF i wasn't taking AB I would be drinking!!! With a lot of work and family pressures tonight, I would be drinking NOW!!! But I just know its not an option. Thats where AB is a real winner. It takes that damn mind game away DO I or DON't I drink? I am just pleased I am sober today and am looking fwd to another AF weekend. Hope it all keeps on working for you.

You know from so many voluntarily taking AB it kind of makes me think that there is an addictive voice and our true selves. I wake up happy to take my AB. I think when I go off (probably at least six months), I may go every other day, every three days, every week. Just to test whether I have alcohol struggles. If I still have them, I'll stay on it. I will keep a supply on hand, maybe end the struggles by taking a pill. Not sure if that will work though.
