Yeah... Don't take this wrong, but I'm not surprised they said this. Still, it sucks to hear them actually say it, yeah? This is an area I tend to tread lightly, because though it's never really gotten out of control, neither have I been a saint in this. But... I have spent a lot of time hanging out with people who drink as you describe. And it scares me. Here are people I care about -- you included -- and I don't really know to say it. One of the things is what your new Pdoc said... the constant thinking about it.
Having a self-destructive streak myself, I totally know what you mean when you say you don't seem to care. Still, I really hope you give it serious consideration.
You know we really like you here, right?
