When I quit, I talked to my doctor and was honest with him. That was scary, but I did it. Doctors don't judge you, they want to help you.
I got on an antidepressant, a drug called naltrexone, and was prescribed vitamins that my drinking was keeping my body from absorbing.
I then changed my routine. I drove home from work a different way and to different stores so I would not pass my usual drinking places and liquor stores.
Great job on deciding to cut the poison out of your life.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I can’t wait to talk about alcohol as my past my life like you.
