You guys are awesome. I appreciate all the support. I thought I would check back in. It has been eight days since my last post and I'm still going strong. I'm still taking the dilsulfirim but I've stopped taking the Librium because I no longer have intense agitation and strong cravings between 4-9. The night sweats and headaches have also stopped. Don't get me wrong I still have a craving during the exact time I would be drunk but it isn't anyway near as bad as it was. I don't have the feeling of helplessness and lack of control over my actions. It definitely helps to make sure I'm eating a big lunch or starting to cook dinner and eating right when I get home from work because that really takes my craving away. It will be two weeks on Friday without a drink and I have my follow up with the Doc. Pretty proud of myself and it really makes me look back and think what took me so damn long? Hundreds of dollars and years of miserable mornings of headaches and sickness and fights over nothing with friends and family. No longer do I have to hide or lie what I am doing or making excuses to go out for something. It really is a huge burden off my shoulders. I'm hoping I can be strong and keep it going. My next goal. One month just before Christmas. Thanks for listening.

Feels good doesn't it Ryan11!! When your AV (addictive voice) starts talking to you, and it will, remember how good it feels to be FREE. Congrats on 2 wks. Just think of all the $ you will save also...stay safe and sober.
