Hi,
I have been sober for over 9 years and then making a dinner with wine in the recipe I had a sip. Guess what? Now I am back trying to get sober. Must be the worst gentic flaw that is invisible to others! I have been on antabuse for 2 days and I agree, the headaches and tiredness are the pits.
hi, i went back on antabuse in jan 09 for three weeks but it was getting worse then the hangovers, guess what? drinking again, only 2 days a week, but now i think the hangovers are worse. never ending circle with me. how did you manage to stop for 9 years? i have been trying to stop for a year and 9 months.i wish you well. jen x
I drank way too much after a long bing and threw-up for 4 days and nighs straight. Then I had killed my stomach and throat so that after that was done I could barely keep food down. If that was a way too quit then it worked for me, of course cannot work for everyone. I think I am lucky it did not kill me. Then I had to think that I could drink wine a few months ago while cooking, I thought that I outgrew the illness, you don\'t...too bad. It just is one of those things that is programed way deep down inside. Bummer, I wish I could be happy with one drink like other NORMAL people! Thanks for the reply. Hugs back too you. Jen
Hi Frostie,
I find it helpful that when I get a craving I switch gears. Whatever I am doing I stop and find something else to do or work on, otherwise my mind is like a broken record in which I just keep thinking about how relaxing just one glass of Merlot would be...in my Grandma\'s beautiful lead crystal wine glass...with my feet up...relaxing...this is my song that plays over and over again. Of course one glass in more like one bottle and it isn\'t relaxing after the 4th glass, more like blurry world with strange ideas. Sooo whenever this song plays over in my head I stop whatever I am doing and find something else to do. I am forced to break up my mind fog. Hope all is well with you today. Run
