30 Days Friday
That's a good thing. I've had 30 days so many times before...I'm really trying to keep it in the one day at a time mind set. I find it a lot easier to stay in the present and focus on whats in front of me today. To stay honest...I continue to take Antabuse daily ( monitored ) I know the use of antabuse is somewhat controversial but it helps me...I'm going to confront that issue later on...right now I'm just trying to stay sober and get some time under my belt.
Anxiety, for whatever reason, has been a huge struggle this past month. Much more so than I remember experiencing before. Pretty much daily episodes of sadness...panic...doom and gloom thinking...I call it "catastrophizing"...seeing no way out of things or getting really regretful and focused on things I can't change or can't change right now. Getting caught up in worries about the future..."what if" scenarios...financial worries...impending heath crises...anybody else get that??
I guess it could be PAWS symptoms...but drinking is not an option. Thanks

Hi there
Great news on the upcoming 30 days. I am on antabuse too and have been sober since 15th October last year so it is working for me too! I am also on anti depressants for now and going to counselling. I like the antabuse as i was drinking everyday and i would not have been able to stop for one day by myself and i need some time behind me if you know what i mean! i don't think it's cheating;-)
I was sad yesterday, don't know why? Spose there are days like that! yeah my mind is racing too and i have to just live for the day, whatever the **** ever...what happens happens at least it is not as bad as it was on the 14th October last year!!!
Stay strong man!
