I was concerned about my alcoholism going on record if I went to the doctor, but in the end I was more concerned I would die or lose my mind if I didn't get help to stop. He was not very helpful in the event, gave me the number of the local drugs/ alcohol unit and that was pretty much it! They were more helpful, being keyed up to my condition, but I still worry about what is on my file now, and who has access to it.
