Oh What A Mess

[Rafterman]

Greetings all...

Everything has been going as good as it can be. ii went to the doctor with her and got her a script for Antabuse to help her keep off that damn Tequila. Since she is already on Zoloft the doctor also gave her a script for Alprazolam but she is still determined not to want to use any Benzo.

All in all she is doing better as long as she can keep on this route and stay off the alcohol.

she has another appointment with nher Psychologist this Friday so we will see what happens there.

I know she will NEVER get over this but she needs to honor her son and move on. Not forget but just move on with her life as I know that's what her son would have wanted.

I know easier said than done..

Peace All

Wonderful to hear, Fury. The situation is definitely moving in the right direction. Even if she won't take the ALP at this time, she has obtained the script for it. Antabuse is a hard way to go to come off of alcohol, but it does work. It is usually prescribed when it is absolutely imperative that a person get off of it. Its obvious that the doc is taking things seriously. I wish that he would reconsider the Zoloft and put her on a SSRI instead, but that is his call, of course. At least he is trying to cover the excitatory effects of the Zoloft with the ALP, though, It sounds like everything is starting to come together. You make a hugely important observation when you say that it is what her son would have wanted. So important that she realizes that. Nothing will ever totally take the pain away, put recognizing that her son would want her to be at peace can at least add a tiny bit of comfort. Like you say, its all easier said than done, but great to hear that there is movement in a positive direction. God bless.  RM
