I think it's possible since you were using alcohol pretty heavily to self-medicate that you
were also drinking coffee when you stopped drinking. (I've been told that many people
addicted to alcohol will drink coffee when they stop alcohol use.) So if you will, please stop
the coffee right away until you see your psychiatrist on the 10th; use nothing that has caffeine in it, and drink water (purified if you can afford it) and leave tea alone,too, please,because some of it has caffeine in it. Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, but it also causes a
huge let down when it wears off. And it is addictive. We need to get the things out of our
diets that tend to be addictive.

Temporarily, I would think that you might consider adding an aspirin (if you're not
allergic to them) to your schedule. (My psychiatrist recommended them for me, and
they were helpful.)

Watch what you eat, please. Make sure you have a fresh green salad once daily.
Add more green vegetables to your diet, and cut out sugar until you see your psychiatrist on the 10th, if you would. Sugar creates highs and lows and is very, very addictive.

These are all suggestions to help until you see your psychiatrist.

Thank you very much for serving the people of this country so nobly. There are many
in the United States who could not have done what you have been doing to preserve
freedom here. I am one of them who could never have been brave enough to serve
my country in that way, but I'd like to help you if I am able.
