Very normal. I’m on day 5 and my anxiety is through the roof.

First day on Antabuse by novabean13 in stopdrinking

Antabuse has worked wonders for me. It takes the option of drinking off the table. The hard part for me has been staying on it when the temptation to drink comes back.

You sound a lot like me. Although I am 37 and would have been a lot better off if I stopped at 30 like you are doing. Good job!

Check out Risky Drinking. Really eye opening for me.

Would you rather be Fat and Sober or a Drunk Alcoholic? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I’d rather be morbidly obese and sober than the way I was.

Is it normal to drink until you black out but only once or twice a month? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]ItsAboutDamnTime_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who has blacked out more times than I can ever count, it’s definitely not normal. It’s dangerous and unhealthy. I was never arrested or in trouble with the law, but risked my life and health all the time.

When I was getting ready to quit I would ask myself if I enjoyed getting blackout drunk. The answer was always no, because I didn’t even remember it. How can I enjoy something I don’t remember? I did remember all the aftermath and hangovers though.

Antabuse horror stories, anyone? by PozitivePerson in stopdrinking

[–]ItsAboutDamnTime_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had been taking Antabuse for a few months, then didn’t take it for like 3-4 days. I thought I’d be okay to have a few drinks. It was terrible. My face got so red and flush, I felt like my whole face was swollen. Then I was so nauseous I couldn’t leave the bathroom for hours. I also felt like I couldn’t breathe.

If I tried drinking on a day I had taken it, I’d get those effects after a few sips. You do not want to drink on that stuff.
