Hey man, vent away. I've certainly been to some docs that I didn't care for.

Is there a particular reason you have to see this shrink specifically?

Did you have a goal when you went to see him?

I wanted to be seen as i need help with intensive outpatient fordual diagnosis alcoholism..... anxiety started me off with drinking...oh i was late due to my gps not able to find a signal....that was my fault as said by him.......I AM NEVER LATE!!!

Forgive my ignorance in advance.

When you say you needed help, what kind of help are you referring to?

The reason I ask, is that I've found better success with counselors than with shrinks.

Sorry to know you are having difficulties....

As anxiety is not part of my medical history I have no experience
on how to overcome or find ways to deal with it.

I was sexually messed with when i was kid...and my psycholagist pushed me to a psychiatrist....which thew me back to the psycholagist My situation is so deep....both of them see that they can't help me so i thought i'd seek a second opinion. i want to quit drinking...this is hard!

Untoxicated

You bet mesh, it is hard...at one point I thought it impossible. I'm happy to tell you that's not the case.

Helping you with your past is beyond my abilities but I can certainly try to help you stop drinking. This site is full of good people that can, I'm glad you're here.

Hey man, I just got back from lunch and I gotta get back to work but I wanted to let you know that I'm only a PM away if you need me to pick up what you're layin' down.

Take in the sights of the board and keep posting brother.

Mesh....
Your daughter needs a break from the current drama ..
All 3 of you do .IMO
that does not mean she wont be with you again.

Drinking is not going to be a solution to anyones future
well being....you know that too.

Today has been really a mess..I agree.....please don't make it worse.

Call your other doctor and tell him what is happening.

I removed some posts for obvious reasons.

I'm sorry the appointment was a bad experience, mesh.
I think Carol's advice is right on the money.

Mesh I am sorry that you continue to drink, as drink really does not help any situation.

I would suggest that you find a counselor that SPECIALIZES in addiction.

It has often been said that the chemicals we ingest are but a symptom of deeper seated problems. Therapists that specialize in addiction are prepared to deal not only with our addiction, but the deeper rooted problems.

It might be a way to go, to 1) stop drinking, 2) work on the deeper issues, and 3) either get your daughter back or get visitation with your daughter.

Please try and put the plug in the jug for the rest of today, and tomorrow is a new day.

Most of us here, that have been able to quit drinking do this One Day At A Time.

Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing as we do care very much.

Love and hugs,
