I have to admit to being a bit depressed and vulnerable recently due to an erm.. odd experience with a GP. I went there to ask if there was any possibility of him prescribing naltrexone and got a bit of a lecture. in fact the guy made fun of me. the fact that i would like to stop drinking and become completely abstinent struck him as absurd. he said things like 'but you like drinking dont you?' 'what, so you want to be PERFECT' and pretty much laughed at me for asking for naltrexone.. and added that i should go to one of those expensive detox centres that the holliwood movie stars go to if i wanted that..... i've been really down about this... it's taken me ages to decide that the guy is a nut. i am now feeling silly and a bit sad about it all.
thanks for letting me vent guys

Ficks, I am a Tradesman...

I know really good blokes that are hopeless at what they do and I know arseholes, who are better than me..

I have half a dozen Doctor mates and it's no different, you should have told him to jam it up his arse and walked out.....

Might have given him some perspective...

Thanks Fellas,
i think i was expecting great things due to the fact that he works out of the same place where they have D&A services so I thought he would be somewhat enlightened... i think i'll have to give a bit of feedback there.

Reggie, i still have the bac in my drawer. I'm so happy for Mr Tippy and glad you are going well too. Maybe i should revisit that whole idea. Tis true there is nothing else really available for me.

Fickle, you can order Bac online with no custom probs in Melb, why not just do that? Reg and or Tip can give you the info...

The bac freaked me out a bit because it came from india and they are very crumbly powdery tablets... felt like a bit weird chopping etc. Not sure if i got the proper thing. If you have any advice on where you get yours, please pm me Reg. I think it's time for me to try again.

Wot a tosser, sure he is qualified? Doubt he was top of the class when they gave out the bedside manner awards. Agree talk to someone else there, like his boss.

Yep fickle ditto to what the others said, don't let that arsehole affect your determination to stop, he probably has the same prob with the AL, but is too much an ass to do anything, fecking hypocrite.....
have a try with baclofen, Tipps helped me with it last year when I first put out my cry for help.......and it DOES work..been on it ever since, but am now slowly coming titrating down

but one major thing is that YOU want to stop..that is such a positive factor...
good luck with your journey, it is soooo worth it I promise, and so wil many,many others..I'm sure:l:l:l
