Don’t wish to go to AA. I work in a psych hospital and many of my patients attend AA in the area and I would not be doing myself any good career wise. Have an appointment Wednesday with my doctor and I am going to confess to her at that time that I have been drinking 9-12 beers per day or 2 bottles of low ETOH wine plus 2 beers. I need help. This is my first of sticking my toe in the water of recovery. I am hoping to keep this private and begin with OP Treatment to include counseling to deal with my childhood demons. Was sober till age 35, now 37. Have went weeks at a time without drinking but currently only going 1 day or so. Should I confess this to my doctor to get the ball rolling? P>S>My very kind drinks on occasion enabler husband will be there too and will be shocked at the amount that I have been drinking. I have been successfully hiding it from him, as far as the amount, for some time now. Much more to say but this is the nutshell. I appreciate intelligent input. I know he won’t leave me or anything crazy like that. We are very much in love and I am still unbelievably high functioning!!!!!!!!!!! Ohhhh YES! it can be hid!!!

My husband has stage 4 non small cell lung cancer. Another tumor has been treated in his brain with the gamma knife. It had been 3 years since the first tumor in his brain and the lung cancer were discovered. Are you eating any certain foods, taking any vitamins?Thanks.
For Goddess: He doesn’t have an appointment for 3 weeks and nothing was mentioned about further chemo or radiation.

My fiance is going in for an assessment tomorrow for alcoholism at a local treatment center. I’m petrified of what they are going to say but think I am that way because I don’t know what to expect from the appointment. What are they going to do tomorrow? Just ask a bunch of questions? Will they take a urine or blood test? Has anybody been through this or done an assessment and knows whats going to happen?
