At first I was afraid to see my doctor. Known him for years and thought he would think a lot less of me. Just the opposite. He gave me a lot of credit for admitting my problem and coming to him for help. He did give me some medicine and it is helping but please remember that just about every medicine tells you not to drink while on it. Trust me I did twice and it was disastrous. If you think you can handle 6-7 drinks you could maybe handle 3-4. Be careful and find a good recovery program.
