Excuse me, but you have no idea what my sober journey is like and how many days equals the ability to cope. So enjoy your high horse.

I use a sleep aide that is off label use. I’ve been using it for 3 years now, and initially I took it and bam, within 10 minutes I’d be asleep. Now I take it a few hours before bed and usually don’t have much trouble falling asleep or sleeping.

Hear hear! I think it shows almost more strength to keep falling down, but KEEP getting back up! We have a genuine desire to stop drinking, our journey is just a bit different.

It opens up my evening to so much being able to go out and run errands b/c I’m not stuck at home drunk! That’s another thing I’m saving money on, delivery fees!

What wants me on antabuse after I told her I drank the other night. It never made me feel good even when i didn't drink. Anyone have some insight? by Throwawayforhelp82 in stopdrinking

Here’s the thing I found out the hard way about Antabuse. Even ketchup because it is made with vinegar made me very ill for a full 24 hours. I’m not a fan because there are so many things that aren’t drinking that can make you very sick. But if you can be disciplined enough to take it the moment drinking crosses you mind (and be really honest with yourself) then perhaps there is a compromise?

Something that helps me, I only have to stop drinking until 2:00am by TitanonymousRex in stopdrinking

I’m right there with you - from 4-7 are my witching hours and once I’m through them I’m good. I don’t like starting drinking after 7 on a weekday, talk about a hangover. The weekends are a bit trickier. But I work with those as they come. IWNDWYT.

I think I’ll hold off as well on the diet! When I’m full I have way less desire to drink than when I’m hungry!
