Ha! I guess I didn't make myself clear. I said that instead of drinking, I would start my med program. I was debating on starting my prozac on Sunday so I could spend Saturday night drinking.

I did the right thing and took my meds instead of having some wine. The meds knocked me out and I was asleep by 10:30. I was on Prozac years ago and drank while on it and actually didn't notice any side-effects. Actually, I was on Zoloft 2 years ago and drank while on that too.

I was frustrated last night because my therapist considers me an alcoholic while my psychiatrist didn't seem to think it was a problem. I also have some self control when it comes to drinking so I guess I'm suprised that I still fit the criteria as one.

I don't have time to drink during the week anymore so I guess I'm wondering why I can't just enjoy myself on Saturday nights? I asked my therapist this and she said the alcoholic liver functions differntly from a normal liver and builds up toxins that stay in the system...

Is this true? How does she KNOW I have an "alcoholic liver"? Are there tests? I've had physicals/bloodwork and everything is fine. I feel like she would classify anyone who had 3 drinks a week an alcoholic.
