Thanks. xx
Why not see the doctor tomorrow on your day one? My day one (the first attempt at least - I lasted 18 days) I dragged myself to an alcohol and drug centre and just off loaded to the doctor there. Doctors are not to be afraid of or make you feel embarrassed. Whatever it is, most likely they've seen worse. And, the results of such a visit may very well be the wake up call you need (though looks like you've gotten that already) to quit. I found out I have elevated liver values and that surprised and woke me up to the reality of what I was doing to my body with alcohol. Plus, I too have a child and your post has woken me up some more and strengthened my resolve to stay quit.
