If I could I would but I can't cause I'm on antabuse. I lost my relationship because sober I could no longer tolerate long term issues that constantly caused problems. Now I'm sick to my stomach missing the love of my life. This will pass...???

I hope you well set me free, urges will get less and less as time goes on but as for me I can't say they forever go away, I hope they do for all though eventually

You're pining for a relationship that was conceived in alcohol!! You certainly don't want to live like that again, do you? If you couldn't tolerate it while you were sober, it's not going to be any different now. Obviously this relationship wasn't good for you.
I just passed 18 years clean & sober -- and I can tell you that I NEVER think of alcohol. It's just not a part of my life anymore. I no longer have the option of taking a drink. So I just don't think of it anymore. It's been like this for MANY YEARS -- it was probably around my first year anniversary that I stopped thinking about alcohol frequently, cause I KNEW i couldn't have it anymore. So rest assured that it will not tempt you forever. That will go away. I wish you the very best. Stay sober -- the life of alcohol is hell! God bless. Hugs, Lee |

setmefree, you are already on the road to freedom being sober. in early sobriety some ppl find a reason to drink cause life takes a u-turn. when newly sober we are starting to feel emotions and they can seem intense at first. while drinking we numbed our emotions. we drank to drink our problems away. but accepting life on life's terms is the key. there will be joy and sorrow. drinking tho is not an option anymore if we want a better life for ourselves.
as for wanting to drink...there will come a time when you don't even think of a drink. the compulsion and obsession will lift. take it one day at a time. get busy with something. don't romance the drink. look where it took you instead. you will find a new joy and happiness staying sober. i did many years ago. contentment still abounds my life. call me happy, joyous and FREE!!!!

Set Me Free, yes, this will pass. It's good you have the help of the antabuse. I also take antabuse-I've been sober for over 5 1/2 years. I very rarely think about drinking anymore. Now, its just a passing thought. Hang in there. I know times are tough right now but they will get better---if you stay sober.
