Hi LL. Your story is like so many here and I can more than relate. It's amazing how you can come to a place and read so many postings and sit there and think, OMG, somebody is writing about ME! The saving grace is that we all understand have been through pretty much ALOT of the same things and can help eachother work through it.
I didn't try Antabuse, I did try Topomax and had horrible side effects but that is just me, everyone is different so it may work for you. I think and I agree with Accountabgle for Me that my therpist has been the BEST thing for me. Learning to work through the issues that trigger me to drink has made it easier to not do it. I still slip, (like yeseterday after 6 days AF) because I just got too emotional but I learned from it and today is a new day.
This place has helped me so much and I hope it can do the same for you!
(((HUGS)))
