Hey, painter
I re-read your thread and see that my post may seem as if it was directed at you. It wasn't! It was directed at me! Thanks for your post.
The real irony is that the shrink who went along for my "need" for 20 milligrams of Klonopin a day and a boat load of antidepressants is a regional expert in his field, but to get over the trauma of a 10-year run on benzos and booze I seriously blamed him and had to accept my own responsibility.
You obviously have dealt with the fact you weren't honest with the doctor regarding how much you drank.
You get it. I just got it not too long ago. Thanks again.
