Has anyone here every discussed their addiction with their doctor? And if so, what types of questions, things to say, make the most sense? Should I ask about medication? Counseling?
Thanks!
Well here is the truth but I know that I sure did not want to hear it at the time.
You just have to be completely honest with your doctor. Completely 100% honest. Frequency, quantity, my doctor even wanted to know what type of alcohol I drank.
Everything else will fall into place.
