You need to try harder. ;-)

Well, I got the ok from the cardio specialist on Tuesday. Something not 100% right but absolutely nothing to worry about. So he gave the go ahead to start the antabuse. I proceeded to remove all the alcohol from my house until about 4am on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. This meant I had to wait yesterday to get the alcohol out my system. Then at 10am this morning I was breathalyzed by the doctor, given all my literature and prescription. Spent the day reading ingrediants on everything in the house - alcohol in soaps, shower gel, shaving foams, some picked things, deoderants, aftershaves, mouthwash etc the list is huge! Anyhow took my 1st tablet at 10.30pm tonight (supposed to make you a bit drousy so hoping that helps with the sleep later, and now feeling pretty good, mountain bike bought a couple of weeks ago, given up the ciggies already and looking forward to the next chapter!!!!

Cheers guys.

I completely agree with you. What works for one might not work for another. Everyone's wired differently (excuse the pun). Which is why I disagreed with the original comment that ''it's easy to not drink, you just have to not drink''.

I think we're in agreement there's a physical addiction and you can die from just stopping but it's more deep routed, I was in a coma with complete organ failure a few years ago, the Docs gave me about 1% chance, still drink but try to be sensible

Bloody hell.


Well I hope you're well now, mate. Phenomenal recovery.

I'm alive, no fun having to be spoon fed and learning to walk again, docs called it a miracle, I'm just a stubborn twat;)
