Dealing with Doctor

[Changeling]

Have decided to brave it out and see a Doctor about my drinking next week.
Am unsure what to expect - are they generally sympathetic??
I want to be honest and tell him the truth
I want to know what effect 10 years heavy drinking have had on my body
Are there tests I should ask for??
I want to do all this before I start taking any meds.
Would really appreciate any advice
I am terrified.
Regards
C
