To be in a country where doctors, hospitals, therapy (for alcoholism) and Antabuse is free.

I know I'm only 9 days sober, but I did a safe detox at the hospital and I have a counselor, a therapist and a doctor monitoring me and giving me my Antabuse. Knowing I will get severely sick if I drink frees me from worrying about relapse. It's just not an option.

I wish you could all have these options. I tried tapering, I tried cold turkey and I failed. Godspeed and lots of love,

That's beautiful.
Nine days is a long time when getting sober, so congratulations.
I'm happy for you that things are going so well and I hope they only get better.

I'll bet you arent in the U.S.! I couldn't afford inpatient and my husband and I are not poor. Inpatient is very expensive here. I don't know how people are swinging it: better insurance I suppose.

That said, when there is a will there is a way. I had the will, so I found a way.
