I took some the other night. Didn't even think about the potential alcohol in it.

But I didn't get a buzz (nor did I intend to) and it didn't trigger any subsequent cravings. I'm not going to worry about it.

Hello everyone! I was surprised to get an email that there were new responses to a thread I started in 2005. lol

I'm happy to report that I DO feel better...haha...and I'm still sober. I haven't had a single sip of alcohol since June 18, 2005 (except for the occasional dose of Nyquil when I'm really sick). I've taken it a few times when I've had a bad cold and it's not made me feel anything except tired and I haven't had any urges to drink.

Hope you are all well. I guess this is a good time to go check out some other threads. Been a long time since I've been on here

LOL -- glad you recovered from that six-year-old cold, Lively!

Too funny. Just goes to show that some topics remain forever relevant.

Drinking nyquil or mouthwash for a buzz, no thanks!

If I'm going to break sobriety and throw away my progress, I'll darned well get some topshelf stuff to do it with

I'm just kidding, just kidding. I'm with the folks that feel if the stuff was taken strictly as medicine, it's fine. I'm also with the folks who think it's best to simply stay away from things with alcohol in the ingredients, why get your brain chemistry all riled up again?

Even though I have used Nyquil on rare occasions I would agree that it's probably best to stay away from things with alcohol in them if you're an alcoholic.
