Brand new-ninth day sober

Hi everyone. Brand new here but kind of excited to become a part of an online community. After years of drinking, having parents who avidly drink and a husband who does as well, I know it’s MY time to stop. I made many attempts but now I’m taking Antabuse and I’m really thankful for it. That was a big step in and of itself. I haven’t gotten to any other posts with people taking this. Am I the only one?

Hi and welcome Kaytea

Antabuse is a fairly commonly prescribed medication - I'm sure you'll hear from others using it

Hello and welcome. I'm glad you posted and congratulations on nine days.
That's a big achievement.
I have no personal experience with antabuse, but I wish you the best with it.
This is a safe place, so feel free to post.
Best to you.

Welcome! I’ve taken it with success but I strongly believe it needs to be paired with a good program and dedication. You sound right on track. You got this!
