Going to try this again in the next few days. Went to a MD Monday hoping for antabuse, ambien, zanax and a referral to a psych. Tired of the "I need to stop...can't stop...have to stop....can't"...hoping taking the antabuse stops some of the waffling. Don't sleep much...need sleep if I am going to do this...thus the ambien. Have some pretty weird and terrible anxiety issues...need a replacement for medicinal alcohol. Have been diagnosed a couple of times as bipolar but stopped taking any meds years ago.
MD said basically that I am too crazy to prescribe anything. Did get the referral to the shrink but can't get in until tuesday. Had hoped to get started before then, but am sure I can't do it without some pharmaceutical help.
Been drinking out of control for most of the last 40 years. Have been in and out of rehabs and AA for several years. Am tired. Just think I need help for the first few days. Beyond that, am looking forward to kicking this problem.
The truth is that most of the pleasure I get from drinking is the easing of alcohol withdrawal. That intense feeling of ease and comfort is mainly knowing that the shakes are going to ease, the hole is going to be filled and my mind is going to slow and settle. A few days without booze and those conditions will change.
MD said I needed a support group. Told her I wasn't ready to deal with AA again but that I had found this forum and would spend time here. Thanks for reading and for being here. Will start a progress thread as soon as I actually pull the trigger.
