Checking in
 

So I saw my psychiatrist today. She was very impressed I stopped drinking straight away after caving for one day. She offered to give me more benzo's if I needed but, together, we decided not to go down that route as I don't want to replace one addiction with another.

I'm meeting my case worker later today and having more bloods done. Nervous about meeting her but we will see.

Overall I'm feeling good. I'm more motivated again and I'm determined to make this attempt stick.

Good for you!!! Im so glad you decided to not go down the benzo route :). Good luck today...Im sure it will be fine.

So pleased, Vanessa :hug: You are much stronger than you think :)

Thanks HeadLump - how are you?

My psych asked how I'm going to stay off alcohol one the case worker isn't on the scene - I told her about this site (she had heard of it) and basically that I'm replacing alcohol with non-alcoholic drinks. In a wine glass there really is no difference!

I met my friend yesterday and she had a wine, I had a coke. I'm going to do this, I'm going to be alcohol free!

Great stuff, keep pushing through!! :)

glad to hear you're hanging in there needinghelp!!!! I hope seeing the psyche will help clear some cobwebs out. I started therapy last night after work and am really looking forward to the next few months of intense work on myself!!

:) you can do it!
