Thanks for your words guys and girls. I feel I may have provoked a few bad reactions, and for that I'm sorry - That's not what I'm here for. I will consider this in the future.
I was given medication a few days ago and have been taking it as prescribed. Since taking it I haven't really had the urge to drink at all. I mean the urge is completely gone - It's totally uninteresting. On the same token, however, so is everything else. I was warned meds will make me feel worse before better, but I'll have to power through it like I got through alcohol withdrawal. Feeling a lot more relaxed compared to before (can't even get my heart rate up).
Counselling to be arranged in a week or two. I feel like I'm on my way to hitting a milestone; that alcohol was not a cause but a symptom of underlying complications.
I will continue to check in every few days, however, as the spirit within this forum is powerful and uplifting.
