Good deal, Briansy.
Overall, I do much better when I take my prescribed medications. My cynical self says this is a placebo effect, but I don't care. It's not harming me, and in that way it's helping.
In addition to taking an antidepressant and anxiety medication, I've been taking antabuse. That choice is entirely prophylactic and I'm grateful to myself for making the choice to take it every day. Knowing I have this medication in my system helps me to easily dismiss those wispy passing thoughts about potentially possibly drinking someday. It brings my focus back to Now. Right now, today, I am not drinking. And that's all that really matters because it's always Now.
