I also hid my drinking from doctors for years. I was put on numerous medications to cure me from the side effects of alcohol. Never told them the truth about my drinking habits so obviously the meds didn’t do anything. I’m only 28 days sober but I’m already off all the meds that were prescribed to me all because I finally was transparent about my drinking.
I know it’s not easy to talk to a doctor about a shameful habit so I applaud you. Well done and good luck on your journey!
