After a couple of months sober I lost my job and stupidly went on a 5 day drinking binge that landed me in the hospital over Christmas. Talk about scary - I thought I was going to die.

I'm now in a treatment program (outpatient) at the same hospital and at the urging of the Dr., decided finally to go on antibuse. Part of me feels like a failure for needing it, but at the same time I know I need that extra crutch to not pick up that first drink.

Guess it's back to trying to do 90 in 90.

Never feel shame for asking for help. You're doing the right thing! 90 in 90 sounds like a good idea. It'll help you to not feel so crazy while avoiding the first drink. Just because the medication will make you sick of you drink, doesn't mean you won't crave. You can do it!!!!

Hello I am glad to hear that you are trying to be responsible for yourself and your life. That is a very courageous attitude to take that you want to be sober. I hope everything goes well with your recovery and your future. Take care Soidhonia
