Finally going to the Doctor after months of excuses

And to be honest, I am excited! I am really ready for this change. Im ready to feel good in the morning, save money and not slowly kill myself. I found out that my new insurance is going to cover a HUGE portion of medical expenses that I might encounter. So, Friday I will be going. They mentioned antabuse, so I cannot drink 2 days before I start that prescription. Im definitely going to have to get a plan together to not let myself get bored. I have a tendency to eat more than I should when I try to quit, so I definitely want to avoid that. I am so ready to make this change. I want to be healthy and in a normal frame of mind not only for myself, but for my family. I will probably get into AA as well as visit SR ritually, of course. I know this is going to be a tough month, but I am willing to get through it to improve my quality of life as well as the other people around me. Thanks for reading.

Good for you Dom,

Getting and staying sober is not easy but if you follow a program and make yourself available to all the support that is out there you can do it.

All the best Dom

I will admit, I am scared out of my mind to face a day sober, because for the first two weeks, the anxiety and the physical hurt of just being without my alcohol seems to be impossible. I have a rough road ahead. I have to do this. I just have to. Its time for me to be a woman for my family, and I cant do that constantly drunk. Thanks everyone.
