Welcome to SR Rob.

I don't have any experience to offer you with antabuse, but I can tell you that the strength and support that I have received by reading and participating in the post on this site have been extremely helpful to me in my first three weeks of sobriety. Everyone here has faced similar experiences with their own addictions and are here to help.

Welcome to SR!

Antabuse never worked for me. I didn't drink when I was taking it, obviously due to the fact that I could die if I did.

I eventually read some more about it and how toxic it is to your liver, so I decided to stop taking it since the health of my liver was one of the things I was concerned about in the first place.

Thankfully, I have FINALLY come to realize that the first drink can kill me NO MATTER WHAT! (no Antabuse required)

WELCOME TO SR! Utilize this great place for support. It sure has helped me. I havent used any meds so far. I heard acorn extract and more natural ways also curb your want to drink. Look at all your options and make the choice that is right for you.
