Hey loveinme, I've got a share for ya. I went through treatment and the Dr. wanted to put me on antabuse, I said "NO!!" My reason being that if I'm going to be sober I have TO LEARN HOW TO GET SOBER AND STAY SOBER on my own.

I could even think of every reason to pick up today but it's not worth it. This is me that's keeping me sober. I have a sponsor, I apply the 12 Steps in my life every day. I was on Prozac for two years and am now finally off of that as well. I'm staying sober on my own and doing what I do every day. It's work at first but eventually it does become a part of daily life.

I have not followed a lot of your posts but when I read this one up there I felt compelled to share that. I wish you the best and I hope that you can figure out what it is that you need to do for yourself to keep you sober. I just feel that the antabuse is like a crutch, while it's keeping you sober, it really isn't, if that makes sense. And why I didn't want to take it.

Good luck and hope you're feeling better soon!!! :ghug3
