Finally broke down to my Dr.
Hi all. I've been seriously struggling again and after a 4 day binge I self detoxed alone in my bedroom. I'm at the end of day three and I had my husband drive me to a Dr's appointment today. In front of him and the Dr. I sobbed and shared for the very first time to a doctor how bad it's gotten and what I've done since Monday to stop it.
I was so afraid that he would not have empathy and give me an AA pamphlet and send me on my way but to my suprise he was kind and experienced and we set up some more tools for my plan. He even scolded me for detoxing alone.
Us alcoholics seem to only take the negative risks and shy away from something that could be positive. I'm so relieved and proud of myself for making that appointment today.
Hugs to all and thank you for listening.
