Yeah, the "yets" will get you. I never did get a DUI, don't know how I managed that, since I drove drunk almost every day, which I now seriously regret. I knew I had a serious drinking problem, but didn't deal with it - thought it was ok to have a serious drinking problem, as long as you could hold a job. That was what I learned in my family. Didn't lose a job to drinking, until I one day I showed up drunk, and that was too much for my long suffering company to put up with. That started my first serious attempt at getting sober.

It's stupid how the cravings will hit you. I was having a perfectly nice morning, until 9:30 when dial a bottle opens for business. And all of a sudden I wanted to get drunk, because I'd had a lousy Thanksgiving, and I was bored, and I wanted to numb out. Debated with myself, and made myself miserable for a good two hours, until I just said, enough already - go take another antabuse. That way you definitely won't drink. that ended the discussion. And I wound up having a nice productive day.
