Umm! Sorry, going to be a little strong here but with love.

Who died and put you in charge of your husbands choices?

I know it 100% sucks, but you can not control him. You will drive yourself nuts. Your husband will get sober if/when he is willing on his time and no one elses. That is a sad fact but true.

Have you looked into Alanon? You will find MUCH support there.

And yes I know what you are going thru. My wife is about 48ish days sober.

This is actually a really big deal because if Antabuse isn't effecting him when drinks NA, what happens if he decides that they might not work at all? Well, I found that out today. Came home and, on a hunch, had him blow into the breathalyzer and he had not only been drinking - the real stuff not the NA - but he blew a .15!!!

I swear - I have watched him take the antabuse every day since Thursday. I checked the pills to make sure they were in fact Antabuse (the numbers/letters on the pills matched what was on the prescription). Could it be a bum batch or has he figured out some clever new way (that no one else seems to have figured out) to not be impacted by the stuff? WTF!!!
