Yer OK, and antabuse question

I'll kill two birds with one stone.

I don't think any of us would be hanging around on the substance board if we hadn't done some things we or others might be concerned about. Drugs is Drugs. (glue, lsd, crack, booze, pot) I laid off before meth was a big deal. All I can say is lucky me.

I noticed on another area that you wondered about antabuse. I vote no. I took it for a while, just to make a doctor happy so I could discharge from a bad inpatient. It's a vicious drug. You are putting poison into your body just on the off chance that if you drink, you'll get so sick you'll want to die (if you don't). I had side-effects. Depending on how sensitive you are, you could have a reaction to alcohol in toiletries or vinegar. You have to be totally detoxed before you can try it, and it stays in your system for up to two weeks. I think it is only for end stage alcoholics, the kind who will flat out die if they drink again, and that's the kind of alcoholic most likely to drink anyway.

Just my two or three cents.
