Disulfiram(antabuse)

OK quick background I recently stopped drinking for almost 6 months then went on a 2 day bender stopped for 2 weeks and again a 2 day bender.

Now I am wanting to go on Antabuse tomorrow(got an appointment) but you see I am scared how my anxiety levels are going to be. This may sound stupid or hopefully someone else has insight to this.

When I have been off the disulfiram(all my life) I always feel that if my anxiety becomes too much I can grab a can, bottle or whatever, neck it and my anxiety levels will go down. I never do this at work, at my sports training or in general life but knowing I have that takes me my anxiety away. Having this taken away I dunno how I will feel as I won't have my "crutch" anymore and it is worrying me about tomorrow. Has anyone else been through this turmoil and does it get easier as I noticed my anxiety levels decrease through this near 6 month period and done something In my life I never I thought I could do which was travel abroad but in Paris there are bars everywhere so that was always in my mind.

Kind Regards
