Welcome to SR both of you. And yes, it's good to see a doctor. Providing, that is, they know about alcoholism. A lot of them don't. I remember being told a couple of weeks ago (before I had my most recent slip up) that 'Oh well, you don't seem to be going through withdrawal.' She didn't ask how I'd been, but hey, I wasn't shaking like a leaf so that was ok, right?
Fortunately I'll be seeing somebody who does know what they're talking about on Monday.
