Well today was my last day for daily supervised antabuse. Except when I was IP, I've been going to the hospital every day except weekends to take it in front of a nurse. I hated every second of it. But being objective it was probably a good thing while I was looking for work as it forced me to get up and get out of the house at a reasonable hour every day, and it definitely prevented me from relapsing which I wanted to do on several occassions just given the stress of job hunting. My addictions Dr. is seriously freaked out that I'm discontinuing with the daily supervised dose. She had all kinds of wacky suggestions as to how I could keep getting it supervised, absolutely none of which were acceptable to me. But I've come to a compromise with my two nurses. I'm going to call in each day, Mon - Fri. between 8 & 9 and tell them I've taken it. This provides me with some accountability for staying on it, and they're trusting me not to lie to them. I'll still take it supervised when I'm in for group on Tues. am.

I'm just really glad that I'm done with that chapter in my life.
