> juliei'm so proud of those that have chosen to cut down on drining or, especially, cut it out altogether. Greg, i am amazed that you have alcohol in the house that you've not consumed--willpower, man, thats so great...
Julie...i'm on my third 24 oz'er right now...i suppose that equals a 6-pack? but i feel just nicely buzzed, not drunk. this makes me feel bad. i don't have a job right now so my days are free like this...drinking beer in a soda cup as i walked to the bookstore to buy depressing anne sexton poetry...
my experience with pdocs and alcohol: my private pdocs have provided me with whatever i want, of course along with the warning that meds are not nearly as effective as long as you're drinking. alcohol is a depressant. this year, i lost my medical insurance and have been going to some free pdocs...one of them wouldn't write me a prescription unless i pledged to her that i'd quit drinking...i told ger what she wanted to hear...the meds have improved my mental health, but probably not to the point they're intended too..
my inclination is to tell you this: if you have a private pdoc, paid by you or your insurance co, lay it all out. the drinking and everything. the government-run places can be very strict: caveat empor.
best to you dear julie,
