Good on you Tetrax. Moving in the right direction.
There is no future in the drinking Tetrax. Sobriety offers you a future, even if difficult in the beginning. All good things take work. Drinking is toooo easy. But not, ultimately.
I know you're up for it Tetrax.

So I had the assessment. I'm in but it's a FOUR WEEK wait till I can get the first proper consultation (and meds would come after that). So I also booked a call with my GP, which is a TWO WEEK wait to see if I can get meds there but I doubt it.

Sorry, Tetrax.
I had to wait for Campral. My GP could only make a referral. Keep on trying, though. In the meantime, try and be patient for 4 weeks and count to ten/post on here/do anything if you get the urge to drink. Any meds you get won’t be a miracle cure. You’ll still need willpower. You’re doing well 👍
