I hope you're not putting all your hopes into the med that you're waiting for. It may help but you might in addition work on impulsiveness in a cognitive way. Working very concretely. Like how to not buy alcohol. Breaking everything down into steps, e.g. looking at store, taking a very deep breath, count to ten, another deep breath petal hard.........
It's hard, I know, because you really love drinking I guess. Is the klonopin still helping with your SA?
Are you thinking of doing the therapy thing again? I vote yes.
Your most senior nag,
Shelli
