Thanks everyone for your replies. I've decided that I'm going to tell the doctor exactly what's been going on with my substance abuse and that I'm joining NA and seeking a path of recovery.

I think that I may have to get a second opinion from another psychiatrist because the one I'm seeing now does not pay attention to me when I tell him about my sleeping habits and my overall recovery journey. Sometimes I think he's just interested in getting the money for the visit and filling out the next month's script and getting me out of there as fast as possible.

The only reason that I still visit him is that he is the one that found out the right medicine cocktail to get me back on track. I was unable to work for almost 4 years because none of the meds they gave me worked and he was able to find the right combination that allowed me to work again. I have a really good job and am making almost 100,000.00 a year right now and I don't want to jeopardize that.

Thanks to all of you for your replies. It shows that there are still people out there who care!
