40 years of drinking, 4 detoxs and a rehab. Thought I could succeed with controlled drinking but the shrink thought otherwise. 3 weeks in and have no desire to drink - maybe the scare factor has driven the monkey away. Because I can't drink there is no mental turmoil to deal with. No side effects, no guilt trip. So far so good. Recommended.

I started on Antabuse at the end of July this year and it has been really effective. I find that I have no cravings whatsoever. When I have stopped drinking before I always get vague cravings but I don't know what I am craving for. Now I don't have any cravings at all and I don't need Campral or anything else. Must be psychological or something but I don't care - it works! 4 months and going stron ... Show Full Comment

I take antabuse once a week, i dont feel the need to take it everyday because it stays in your system for 14 days so every tuesday i take a maintenance dose.

I take antabuse once a week, i dont feel the need to take it everyday because it stays in your system for 14 days so every tuesday i take a maintenance dose. It works wonder, i also take it in the evening because it makes me drowsy (only side effect). I tried everything to quit drinking and nothing seemed to work (well my brain didnt work). But now i know i cannot take a drink for atleast 2 weeks everytime i swallow a pill and that keeps me charging in my recovery and my personal relationship with god and my family. Go to AA, but also include some biblical 12 step programs into you recovery, stay in your 12and12, living sober, big book, daily reflections and your Bible and i even read a book called Beyond the Influence: Understanding and Defeating Alcoholism, it is very powerful and explains alot more of how i became an alcoholic and why i was the way i was when i was drinking, i was born with the genetics to become an alcoholic, as are almost 90% of alcoholics. Faith was difficult for me but it gets stronger eveyday and that helps me make it One Day At A Time. Good luck and God Bless.
