yes, I know honesty is the best policy...as I sit here, I feel like a slime ball. This is an area that my pdoc and I have gone around and around about since we have known eachother. However, whatever caused the mental problems was not the booze because I had months long where there was no drinking and even when I was, it was only one or two and it was sporadic. He would tell me that I wasn't accepting the fact of being alcoholic and that was causing conflict within me (to a point that is true)
If I tell him, what I fear is that he will consequence me by returning me to some form of treatment part-time, refuse to see me again, or whatever.... I am left feeling like I am some sort of pathetic hopeless drunk, and I am not. In fact, the only time I had trouble with booze was when I had emotional mental trouble to start with.
I am rambling...and confused. thanks for listening. I don't dare tell anyone about this.
