I never knew my pdoc was so against me drinking. I think I may have mentioned it to her in conversations once or twice that I had a drink or two with my husband. She didn't say a thing. I drink on occasion. In the evenings, usually after our daughter goes to bed at 9:00. Then we go to bed by midnight. This past weekend was my husband's birthday, so I drank more than usual. I drank 3 times that week, having at least 6 beers each time. I can handle my beer. I don't get drunk or out of control.
I do take 6 different meds for bipolar and depression and I take ritalin too.
My husband found out that i snuck 2 vicodin last week and also half a xanax. He was pissed at me and thought my pdoc should know everything. I had called her for an earlier appointment because I was reallly depressed and exhausted. Well, he went and called her on my way to the appoinment and told her everything!
Now, she's upset with me, says she won't treat me if I am drinking. I cannot even have one drop! I said fine , I'll stop. I've quit before for 2 years. My husband even quit with me. She gives me phone numbers and wants me to go to a program for people who have alcohol addiction problems!!!!
What do I do?
This really upsets me. I understand the importance of drinking while on meds and I can stop. to be honest, we only really drink to enhance our sex life, it lowers our inhibitions. But i'll quit the beers.
why won't she take my word for it? I feel i do not need some long program when I truly am not a true alcoholic.
Is everyone who walks in a store to purchase beer an alcoholic?
Sorry for the long post, just wanted some advise. Thanks
