In reply to MCP - unsupportive and hurtful, posted by Violet4EVR on October 12, 2004, at 19:58:28
Good luck to you Violet. Quitting drinking is not easy, but it can be done. If you work with your doctor and a good counsellor, you should be able to make the necessary changes to overcome the physical and psycological issues related to your alcohol dependence. Diet and nutrition will also play an important role in your recovery. If you have not already done so, you may want to ask your doctor to run some blood tests. Alcoholics can be deficient in vitamins and minerals, including, a number of the B vitamins. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can exacerbate depression and anxiety.
Anyways, I wish you well. Take good care.
