I began my journey into sobriety by making a Dr appointment and telling my GP the truth about my drinking. She was brilliant, no judgment, just practical advice and support. She ordered blood tests which revealed some liver damage and we made a plan. I found it really helped me especially in those early days.
I now always tell any Dr I see about my drinking and length of time sober, it is a really important piece of the puzzle. I know I put my body through a lot and while my liver results are great now, I also know alcohol damage is something the professionals need to rule out. I recently had a serious health scare that fortunately had a benign cause, knowing my history with alcohol helped them find the cause a lot faster even though ultimately the problem was unrelated to it.
My feeling about it is, if a health provider ever made me feel ashamed about my drinking then they are not the right professional for me to see.
