I think I need to share some information with others as it could help someone else.
After trying to quit drinking for about there years, the usual story that I'm sure everybody is familiar with, I have finally managed to have complete apathy for the first time ever.
I had quit for a few weeks at a time but found that I became so low and snappy that I eventually succumbed to the cravings using the leverage of the effect that it was having on my family.
This time, I went to my GP and asked for help with stabilising my mood whilst going cold turkey. I was described Sertraline.
My intention was that if my moods were relatively stable, I was in a better position to combat the cravings.
I have now been taking sertraline for just over eight weeks, I haven't had a drink, nor have I craved one. I have been in a position where others have been drinking and have not found it difficult.
For me, I seem to have found the holy grail?.the thing that means I can beat the problem.
I haven't been near this site for quite some time, but bearing in mind that I found it offered me comfort in previous times, I thought I should share this information with others in case somebody else tries it and has the same result.
Fingers crossed.
Good luck everybody
