The other thing I've done, is adopt the attitude that I will do whatever it takes to not go off my antabuse and relapse. And if that means hibernating in my apartment and ordering my food in, well I'm good that.

This AWESOME! I am so happy that you are giving it another shot. I wish you the best of luck.
I can totally relate to the "by any means necessary" approach. I can know longer deny the consequences of my actions. The reality is my wife hates the man I become when I use. My family hates him. And I hate him. He tries to kill me.
I've actually brought her into my recovery by asking her for help. It has been really great to have her involved. It means a lot to the both of us and this time I feel fully equipped for success.
Good luck to you, my friend!
