I made my doctors appointment today; it's for Wednesday at 10:30. I'm nervous about this as the doctor I have always seen moved out of state and I will be seeing a new doctor :durn: I got the book and I'm on page 30 (very slow reader) I will read more tonight when I get home. Is there a synopsis some where of the medications Topamax, Campral, Naltrexone, Baclofen, other meds? I would prefer not to have to research each one individually. I was thinking about asking the doctor to put me on the Topamax if it does not interfere with the Prozac I'm on. I will try to get the book read before the doctor?s appointment but that will be pushing it for me.
I've been analyzing my drinking behavior the last couple days and realize I use alcohol as a reward for myself. I come home after work and have a drink, I mean after all I did work hard all day. I look at the kitchen and say well pour yourself a drink and clean the kitchen; it won't seem like so much work if you?re drinking. Stuff like that. I find it hard to motivate to do any thing without my 'treat'. How pathetic :upset: I've been try to think of something else to reward myself with for 2 days now and can't think of any thing that will give me that instant gratification a drink does. I thought about taking the money I would spend on alcohol and setting it aside for some thing special (a horse, cow, etc..) and that might work later on but right now I need instant gratification. I haven't quit drinking the last 2 days just cut my consumption by 1/10 percent. It's driving me crazy that?s all I can think about. I will probably break down and buy something on the way home, I don't think I could concentrate to read the book if I don't. I think I will just cut my drinking 3/10 percent until I can get to the doctor, finish this book and get started on the program. I think that is the best I can do with out hurting myself or tearing the head off of some one I love right now.

Thanks for letting me ramble on and on. :thanks:
