Ghaunt - not sure why you are keeping on about this - thanks for the input.

I know exactly what you're doing Maggie, I did the same thing and it worked like a charm for a few years when I NEEDED AF time.

Ghaunt might not be aware that the initial prescribed dose is 8-16 times higher than what you're taking, and that by day 3 on Antabuse (if you follow the prescription) it's off the charts compared to the dose you took. I wouldn't give it another thought

We may be treading the same path, but each of us may have different tools in our arsenal. I feel we're here to provide and receive support and encouragement from others who understand the goal. Each of us must do what we need to in order to achieve that goal.
Best wishes,
Tweed

Tweed I so agree - yesterday without the AB I had 6 drinks - the most I have had since starting TSM - not sure what that was all about. Feel okay this morning except annoyed with myself.....

Hugs, Maggie x

Ah, Maggie. I am sorry. My God we have all been there, haven't we? But as you have told me, the guilt and shame don't help, so I know you know that. Today is a new day!! Take good care of yourself. Sending you a virtual hug. Newlife

I laughed, Newlife at your turning my words to you, back on me - but you are so right !! Life happens and I survived - didn't feel too swift as the day wore on, but am fine again - and did take 1/8 tab of AB this morning too - I find it odd that when I take it I have no trouble not drinking - no cravings and am fine with not having a drink - so why when I haven't taken it, do I find it so hard to NOT drink! It has to be psychological! Hubs wants us to go out for a drink tomorrow after the closing on the house to celebrate - so I will have ONE when we are out !

Thanks to you too Tweed for your comforting words - I love this site - we are all so supportive of each other !

Hugs, Maggie x

I am always cheering for you Maggie and overall you have made progress. I think if it takes using AB to encourage alcohol free days then great! Everyone has their own journey and ways of getting their AF days in. Very proud of you!

Hugs!

Hi Maggie, I have also taken AB and what it does for me is to make my mind up for me cause I know I cannot drink with it in my system.
I am so happy for you on your closing on the House, have a few drinks and celebrate tomorrow (oops maybe I should not encourage that, lol)
I have a prospective buyer so we will see how that works out today???
hugs
Nal On!
