Crazy thinking
I've been on Antabuse for a week now. I can stay sober for a week or two, and then i'll drink to excess & bad things happen. I'm hoping to take Antabuse for while, until I get a good few months sober and i'm more stable in recovery.
I'm also reading a book about rational recovery.
This whole week on antabuse, i've been super annoyed at everything and everyone. It's like i'm mad that I can't drink anymore..or have the option.
The main thought in my head has been...my boyfriend and I are going for our anniversary dinner at the end of this month and i won't be able to drink with him. He'll be bored that he can't drink, so i should have a glass or two of wine with him. Then my mind goes to thinking I should stop Antabuse now, so it'll be out of my system by then!
Crazy thinking. That was the beast talking to me all week, and i had no idea! lol. I woke up this morning, and it dawned on me suddenly.
I feel a lot less annoyed now. Rest assured, my amazing boyfriend and I won't drink alcohol at our anniversary dinner
Phew!

I feel for you because it would be easier in early sobriety if your mate didn't drink.
Seems you reconize that you have a problem.
An excellent start that many drunks never get a chance to see.
If alcoholic?
The thought of drinking is a crazy idea.
Have a nice sober day,

I'm going to work on changing my mind set. Instead of thinking "i'm boring if I don't drink" to "I am a better girlfriend, friend, aunt, employee etc if I don't drink".

Drinking blurs everything at dinner. I've seen rational people turn angry over the silliest things after a couple of drinks.
Our up bringing shapes us. Booze does not go w dinner in many families.
Change it up.

Happy Anniversary.
And- IME it isn't good to mess around with Anatabuse. The warnings about that are there for a reason- I was lucky not to have more ill effects - which my psych HAD told me could include death - when I played games.
Like your increasingly positive comments!
