Congratulations on your sobriety time. Hang in there. Rooting for you.
Thanks Rar! Yes, sounds like that doctor had an inkling something was wrong there. It's hard to be honest with doctors about this stuff because you don't want it on your medical record etc. Which sucks because it can be so dangerous coming off of it, you need that medical support.
