Good morning.

The voices are quiet so far this morning. Have taken the Antabuse.

Today marks seven weeks sober.

Keep us posted on the job FF. And if not this one, keep looking. I think something to not so much keep you busy but for you to contribute to society. To build self confidence. To build worth.

And I don’t know what that guy’s talking about doctors that won’t prescribe Anatabuse but he should provide more context. If doctors don’t prescribe it because they don’t think it works, or because alcoholics still drink on it or because it’s a bandaid, that’s one thing. But we’re talking about Antabuse being the source of FF hearing voices.

Some voice activity this morning but it stopped.

I found myself again wishing I wasn't on Antabuse. But glad now I am.

Hey FF....congrats on 7 weeks! I hope you get the job. Just one thought.....have you considered your agoraphobia? How will this affect employment?

Congrats on 7 weeks, FF! Honestly I can't believe that much time has passed since you last drank. Your determination is going to win the day, for sure

You're doing great man. But 4 liters of diet soda a day? Even just in terms of fluid, like water - that's a lot. But diet soda has all kinds of artificial stuff in it and it will also kill your appetite for real food. All of this can make you more unstable. Just trying to be helpful here, not critical. Wishing the absolute best for you FF. Keep up the great progress.

Good morning. I'm just hearing noises today. Not as bad as the voices. Yesterday was pretty bad. I wish this would just stop.

Oy got three hours of sleep last night and had a lot of nightmares. Exhausted. Had a strong coffee so hopefully I'll feel ok in a few minutes.

Taken my Antabuse. As long as I take the Antabuse each morning, I'll stay sober. I have to stay sober no matter how bad things get. Drinking will make them worse.

I drink eight litres on a bad day. It really has to stop, I know.

Getting up and taking your antabuse is the best communication that you want to be and stay sober. Really proud of you - you are working through it, even though things are hard. I hope they start to feel a bit easier for you soon xx

Good morning. Voices quiet this morning so that's good. I've taken the Antabuse.

It's day 51. My record is 101 days so I'm half way to beating it.
