There is no information on your profile so I'm going to reply based on some educated gueses.
If you need to take antibuse to keep from drinking the least of your problems is tanning your body and bleaching your hair.
I'm sorry to say this, but if you have a drinking problem you need to change your playthings, your play places, your playmates and most importantly in your case, your career. The emotional toll of what you are doing will make it next to impossible for you to get sober.
I say this not to judge or criticize, but rather to tell you the truth based on my experience of 14 years sober in AA.

Hi NG, I was just up your way over Xmas. Brought a place at Bribie last year. Noosa's pretty much a party town. How are you coping?

My suggestion is to do more than just antabuse.It will deter you from drinking because it will make you sick if you take a drink.It doesn't do one single thing for why you want to drink in the first place.You'll be dry on it,but you won't be gaining any moral and spiritual benefits.The booze is just a symptom of problems that are more than just physical.What happens to me if I drink when on antabuse?I'll get deathly sick,my blood pressure will skyrocket,I'll get a terrible headache,and I could very easily die.What happens to me if I drink if I'm not taking antabuse?I get deathly sick,my blood pressure skyrockets,I'll get a terrible headache,and I could easily die.The benefits of taking that drug are temporary and hardly offset the risks involved.Go to work on the real problem,and you can do whatever you want with your hair.BTW,anything that contains any form of alcohol can set off a reaction.

Ask your doctor who is prescriibimng it to you. We don't know everything.

I know I was told to avoid cologne and all aftershaves and to be careful with deoderant. No idea about bleach and fake tan though I'm afraid.

huh?...

I was taking antabuse last year for drinking. What ever you do, dont drink. I read enough online about the drug, talk to a lot of recovering alcoholics, and the effect of the drug is unbelievable painful. The danger from antabuse is if you ingest alcohol. As for tanning and dying your hair you should be safe. I understand your caution here. I stopped using mouth washes with alcohol in them just incase. There are better alternatives to taking antabuse to stop drinking but it is a strong deterent. I starting attending AA meetings at the same time I starting taking the antabuse. The program worked for me so I never had to go through the near death like pain. In other words, I never tested the med. If the court, Doctor, or whatever your case involves is, I would recommend, if someone else who is treating you has not already, to attend a program such as AA. PM me if you want to know more about my time on that med.

There are vegetable-based dyes.

I'm confused...THIS is impotant to you?...LOL

Why do people assume dancers are sluts and/or in a bad environment?
It's the woman's living and I bet she makes pretty darned good money at it.
Most of the big shows in Vegas and/or Reno...whatever...always have the dancers. Guys and gals....
They look pretty frickin healthy to me.
They're athletes.
Never heard of an athlete having addiction issues?

I was a very lucky person and did not take this drug but I do wish you the best and hope you make it through this ordeal dancing your heart out.hugs

PS I don't think you seem silly. You are obviously tryoing to address your alcoholism whilst earning a living. We can't all live off government handouts.

I do agree though that antabuse is not the be all and end all to alcoholism as I'm sure you are about to find out. I found my solution in AA and haven't taken antabuse for years now.

See your doctor about the fake tan and hair bleach - antabuse can react with any form of alcohol ingested through intentinal tract or epidermis (skin - at least that is what I was told by my doctor.

I reply to postsx based on the information provided in the post and previous posts by the author. I also usually check profiles.
In this case I have never seen this person on here before. She has absolutely no info on her profile. Her post clearly indicates that the amount of money she makes depends on her looks not on her ability to dance.
Therefore I assume she is some type of exotic dancer. In the US I think that dancers in that field probably out number professional dancers in shows, entertainment, ballet about 99 to one.
At no time did I insinuate she was a slut. I would never do that. I raised three daughters and no one deserves that label. I know that many exotic dancers do it out of financial neccessity.
What I also know is that it is not a good environment for anyone let alone someone trying to stop drinking. The people that own those businesses are usually not model citizens. Drinking and drugs are the norm.
I also believe that no matter what the reason a woman or man is doing this it is taking an emotional, mental and spiritual toll.
As alcoholics those our emotional, mental and spiritual lives are usually in shambles when we decide to get sober. Anything that continues to cause harm in those areas of our life hampers our ability to get sober.
I'm sorry if that offends anyone's sensabilities, but I believe it to be the truth.

lol I don't understand what that has to do with antabuse, by the way antabuse never works, I drank on antabuse damn near had a heart attack.You have to treat the reason why you drink, drinking is just a symptom.

..you can bleach your hair and still stay sober. lol.

WOW I didn't think anyone would reply to my post, so thank you all. I really appreciate everyones input and it has really made me think. PS I really don't want to go to AA and probably never will because I am not a christian.
