Using Antabuse to Help Treat Alcohol Abuse

Cheers? man…

I am drunk now. So you can? try anything you want..

Didn’t i just tell you that I haven’t ever tried antabuse? Haven’t we already been over the fact that I don’t have to try a substance to speak on the topic? And I personally know people in my own life that have taken it and drank on it anyway. It doesn’t? always do what it’s supposed to do because everyone’s body chemistry is different. Not everyone has the same result when taking a substance. Antabuse is used for modifying behavior, not as medical treatment for withdrawals, liver damage, etc.

Yea. I deny it because I have tried It my self.? Again. You don´t have a f—-g clue about what you are talking about so you can be quiet…

I didn’t compare cocaine or heroin to antabuse. You fail to be able to analyze an argument properly. That was an argument against you making a claim of whether or not I have tried a substance before. Different argument, you mis-identified the association my friend. It is valid to state that one is not required to try a substance to speak on the subject matter. You failed to recognize this point. Antabuse is a drug, you can? deny it all you like.

Nope. Never been on cocaine or heroin either. Does that mean that I am required to have tried those substances to accurately state that they are drugs? No it does not. To state that only those that have used antabuse are the only ones who can speak on it, is a logical fallacy. You do know what those are don’t you? Arguments from authority? Arguments from ignorance? Begging the question? Non-Sequitor? There are numerous drugs that exist? that you cannot feel or get addicted to. What is your point?

And YOU obviously don’t? know what YOU are talking about! Since when are drugs only classified as drugs when you “feel” them or whether someone can get “addicted” to them? That has got to be the dumbest and most ignorant assertion i’ve ever heard! Antabuse alters your body’s natural ability to break down acetaldehyde in the liver, therefore it is by every definition a drug. People rely on it to stay off of alcohol. I never said they were chemically dependent on it moron!

I know my roommates have been giving me disulfiram in my filtered water. I drink, my kids drink and so does anyone who comes? in my house. I have tried to trace the substance but everyone says it is not traceable. I had a girlfriend come stay with me and she couldn’t get her brain straight for almost 2 weeks after leaving. Allowing alcoholics that can’t drink access to a traceless drug is insane. They have ruined my life and created issues with my family,

I was a blackout drinker for yrs. I started on antabuse. The thing is, say it’s a Mon or Tues and u hear about this great party on Sat, so u think: “there’s a party Sat nite so I won’t take the antabuse anymore this week til afterwards.” Wrong answer! Once antabuse is in ur system it stays for 2Weeks after u stop taking it! So if u drank u Still would become deathly ill. I? wanted to stop drinking, but when wknd rolled around I couldnt say no. Antabuse helped me. I no longer drink. Its been yrs.

Sometimes? drugs are needed. If you had cancer, would you take drugs to help yourself? When you get to the desperate stage of alcholism, such as I have, you are willing to try anything to help you out. Sure I wish I didn’t have to rely on a drug, but I have proven time and time again that I can’t do it alone. It is an exhausting experience being an addict.

You COULD drink, you just decided NOT to. Why is that so hard to accept? You don’t give yourself? enough credit. And yes there WAS a decision made. There is always a decision made everyday in our lives, you just don’t acknowledge it. Even on Antabuse, you still COULD have drank but you knew that if you did you would be very sick so you chose not to, even if you don’t see it as a decision it was because no one or nothing else made that action but you!
