4 months sober today. Hardest month so far

This was hardest month yet I wanted to drink more than a few days. I am so glad I made it to another month.
Thanks to those who keep us positive and support the sobriety path. It’s not easy that’s for sure

I am prescribed antiabuse called disulfiram which means I can’t drink it’s too dangerous I’ve been on that nearly 4 months. I think I would struggle just on my own I am not sure if be strong enough without it.
I had trouble getting it there has been stock problems in Scotland and it now needs to be authorised by the health board. If it’s out of your system for a week it meant I could drink. So it was on my mind for 3 days straight. I couldn’t be left on my own in the evening. Luckily my dad is here to keep me company and he’s sober as well.
If I was alone at that time I think I would have drank. I looked at it in the shops a few times and really wanted it.

Now I’m back feeling good and no issues with the medication so I know drink is not an option. It’s not for everyone but I need it for now to stop me from drinking.

I lost everything through my drinking and being sober is the only way I can get it back

Thanks for the comments and support 4 months seemed a lifetime at the start
