It'll be great when this phase is over with and you can begin healing.
Please tell us how your appointment goes. We care.
Thanks for that Hevyn. basically it went well, I was very impressed with the practitioner.
She tore a strip off me for the first 20 minutes asking why I was relapsing and drinking those hideous amounts. I guess she used this to measure my response because she them told me what was happening, which was the first time I had heard that even though I had been in rehab. By going cold turkey previously I had damaged my body. She said that I should up my tappering slightly and meet again on Friday.
In the meantime I will get my bloods done and write up my story to discuss with her for the first step. I may need a medicated detox depending on the blood results - hopefully not. im also going to be seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist. She said that she will be asking her boss that I be transferred into her care (she was the duty person today). No one has spoken to me with that much information and in that manner before. I'm pleased.
