I did it!
Well, I took my first dose of antabuse last night and I'm grateful for it. In another thread I stated that just having it available made me feel stronger. I'm pretty sure people on here misunderstood my meaning when I said I didn't want to start it right away. The reason I was hesitating starting it was the fact that I was worried that the alcohol wasn't out of my system yet from the 2 days before. And truthfully, just having it in my possession made me know that a breakthrough was in sight. I fully intend to take it every night from now on. I wasn't hesitating to take it because I wanted to still drink, which is what I think people on here thought I was saying. From now on I take it every night. Last night I had weird dreams, but otherwise, so far so good.

Still sober and on day 5. Tonight was the hardest night. If it wasn't for the antabuse I MIGHT have caved and had some wine, but instead, I spent the money I would have spent for cheap wine for the past few days and had some delicious Thai take out food. I have to work on losing some weight next, but right now the food is replacing the wine. And having thousands fewer calories a day by not drinking wine should help. I'm still struggling with the idea of NEVER having any wine again, but I expect that will get easier the longer I'm sober.

So far I've not noticed any discernible side effects from the antabuse. Wouldn't that be funny if I have been taking a placebo all this time? Of course I would never know as long as I don't drink, so it probably would work just as well. $237.50 for a month's worth of placebos would make some drug company pretty rich! Of course I won't find out, just a thought.
