Already feeling better

I just joined Friday night because my husband was out of town, and I was feeling very bored. I knew I wasn't going to drink because I take Antabuse right now. However I was glad I didn't skip the pills so that I could drink like I had thought about doing. I actually did skip a few but took one the night before he left. I knew I would regret so badly if I decided to drink. Instead I found this awesome online support group, and in just a few days feel so much more confident that I can do this. Reading posts by people who have been sober much longer is very encouraging. I'm really glad I found this site

Good going! Some advice on antabuse: it stays in your system for a day or two, so even skipping a pill you would have probably gotten ill.
That aside, great job ob not giving in.
Keep it up, it only gets better.

Welcome!

SR has been my main source of recovery for over 5 months.

It's like AA and antabuse all in one.

If I have any cravings just reading a few stories on here reminds me of how bad I felt 5 months ago and how I never have to feel that way again.
