Apologies for my drunken ramblings the other day was feeling very sad..x..

Ok....so a new year is on its way, and I'm determined it'll be sober. ☆One day at a time☆... day 3 today...

2014 =a new year, new home, new job, new life... all sober.

I can, I will, I deserve to be sober...

Hope is essential, but hope is passive.

Plans mean action. What are you planning?

Welcome back Lorelei. Well done on day 3. 2014 will also be my first full sober year, one day at a time. Let's do this!

I'm planning to get some help seeing my psych tmro and will see what is advised but I'm going to my Dr for any antabuse and have removed a number of my major triggers.

I haven't been over drinking in general a glass or two here and there but I was on a slippery slope...

Thanks Sr friends, always there x

Well done on seeing a doc - "we are either heading towards a drink or any from it". - sounds like a the right direction.

I did the 500mg of Antebuse in the beginning...then I started betting on how much I could drink on the Antebuse. I then started to get concerned if the smell of gasoline when I was filling up my car would trigger the Antebuse so I stopped taking it but was lucky enough to get involved in my program.

Are you doing either Rational Recovery or AA? For me my life was unmanageable with or without the booze. The booze just complicated things and opened the door to a staircase down of very bad decisions. Lots of intense therapy and step work is what has helped me.

BTW - my shrink is a former +25yr recovered alcoholic through AA. I went through 5 therapists before I found this guy that really gets me and it helps so much. I think therapists and sponsors are like dating someone in the sense that the first one is not always the best fit you have to play the field a bit.
