Yesterday was rough. I went up on the Xanax and went back to the alcohol last night as well. This morning has been OK so far except my ears keep ringing. I have noticed that I feel pretty good at certain points during the day and then I get slammed at other points.
I still have my doctor appointment all set and ready to go next week. To be candid though, I am not very optimistic that anything productive is going to come of it. My expectation is to get a referral to a specialist, and I probably won't get an appointment for weeks or months with them.
As far as plans in the mean time go, here is where I am at. I am going to throw out all remaining alcohol from the house this afternoon. Things don't go well when it is staring me in the face. I am going to flush the rest of the amps also. The Xanax I am keeping around until I see the doctor (in case I start 'bugging out' again). I was able to sleep for quite a while last night so I am good to go if I have some sleepless nights ahead of me.
