I'm not sure how many weeks I am sober now and back at the beginning it was something you wrote that set itself in concrete a few days later. Therefore you do have it in you but somehow choose to ignore it, remember the washing machine post and how that at one time would of set you off drinking?
I'm in no way out of the woods but something has changed in me, I no longer let anything effect me that I once used too. I stay away from the news, tv and have even backed right off from the internet as well.
In turn I never think about drinking anymore even after today when I have been knee deep in wet clay digging footings for an extension.
You can only do what helps you, I'm not sure of your set up over in France but putting yourself first is absolute priority, everything else comes second because if you are not right nothing else ever will be.
Hang in there MummyTo2 because a lot of us on here have complete faith in you even if your struggling with that in yourself!

Nothing wrong with you. It makes perfect sense.
Cancelling the appointment means you don't have to tell the doctor what's going on, don't have to hear what the doctor will say.....and you don't have to decided whether or not to do what she tells you to do to stop drinking.
All us alcoholics are very good about not hearing the truth, or censoring it when we do hear it, and we all have a hundred very very very "legitimate" reasons why we can't do what it takes to stop drinking.
"Close" to the breaking point ain't the breaking point.

Bottom line - I finally chose to quit when the liver doctor I saw in Feb 2016 zinged me so hard, and I was ready to be done, that I quit.

You need more help than you currently have.
