Antabusian

Antabusian is a term used to describe individuals who have undergone the process of abstinence from alcohol, often as a result of participating in the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program. The term is a portmanteau of "antabus" and "AA," with antabus being a medication used to treat alcohol dependence by causing nausea and vomiting when alcohol is consumed. The process of becoming an Antabusian typically involves several stages, including detoxification, abstinence, and ongoing support through AA meetings and other resources. Antabusians are often characterized by their commitment to sobriety and their active involvement in the AA community. The term is used to highlight the unique journey and identity of individuals who have chosen to abstain from alcohol and are part of the AA program.
