I am currently taking Antabuse and wish to continue taking it. It's the only thing that reliably helps me stay sober.
But I recently accepted a job as a cook with a fairly high end catering company. A lot of their recipes have wine in them. If I stay on the Antabuse, I would be unable to taste any of these recipes while preparing them, as even the tiniest bit of alcohol can set off a reaction. I learned that the hard way. But that would mean disclosing that I'm on it, and asking for assistance re tasting. But I really don't want to go off it, so I can taste the food, if it means risking a relapse, since that would probably cause me to lose the job anyway. Disclosing is fairly low risk, as they only hire people with psychiatric diagnoses. Thoughts. splitimage __________________  "I danced in the morning when the world was begun.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
