Today we're tracking my journey on this little white pill that could kill me but is intended to save my life. My name is Wendy, and I am an alcoholic.
After a week of holding these pills (Disulfiram 250mg/Antabuse), I finally bit the bullet and threw back the first dose. Then I wept and my spouse hugged me. We talked about how this would change our relationship with ourselves and each other. He too is an alcoholic, and the conversation edges on remorse and mourning. I love you, I'm not going anywhere.
I am waiting anxiously to see if I have any reactions. I waited approximately 20hrs from my last drink to take this, and to be quite honest I initially cut the pill in half but took both halves. An hour later, I can safely assume it has metabolized. thankfully, none of the side effects I feared! Going to try to sleep - I'm looking forward to genuine rest. updates to come.
