Went to see the doctor
On Tuesday night I did my best not to drink, but the shaking was unbearable, so I had two glasses of wine just to steady myself. I woke up yesterday in the worst mood ever. I couldn't even think clearly enough to get my kids dressed and out of the house. It was a tremendous blow to my pride, but I finally realized I can't quit on my own. I called out of work, and made an appointment to see the doctor. I left the kids with my mother in law and went to my appointment. It was hard, but I was honest with the doctor about what I was going through. I was prescribed 100 mg. of Librium a day. I started on it yesterday afternoon. I'm proud to say that I didn't drink last night, and it may not seem like much, but today I have one day of sobriety under my belt, which I have not had in ten years. Just wanted to share. Thank you to everyone for your support; this site has served as my lifeline for the past few days.
