An update. I feel so fortunate. Back at home with the family, had a very long and frank discussion with Mrs Rents. She'll continue supporting me as long as I don't drink, which is obviously fair enough. It's a week now since my last alcoholic drink, and believe me that is my last. The acomprosate helps a lot, it has entirely stopped any desire for drink at all, bit of a miracle drug tbh.

 

Strange as it seems, I think my recent alcoholism is a symptom not a cause of my problems. But regardless, it clearly will fuck my life anyway. Abrupt cessation of my antidepressants was the most stupid thing I have ever done and I think precipitated this crash. I need treatment for my anxiety and depression, especially the former. I will see the GP next week to discuss options. Other than that I have a one to one meeting with an alcohol recovery specialist next week, see how that goes.

 

Work have been amazing. As well as giving me this week off to recover, they have offered part time working and even a sabbatical if I need it. I will repay them with full commitment from now on.

 

Best of all is I'm going on holiday to Mallorca in 2 weeks. Drinking is always part of the holiday for me and I always feel ill for at least 1 day. I am literally looking forward to the liberation of not drinking at all this time, no hangovers, more energy for the kids and wife. I know it will be hard but with the acomprosate I'll get through. Can't wait to swim in the Med.

 

Also my uncle is coming down from Scotland to talk with me today. We are like peas in a pod, same genetics definitely. He had to stop drinking around my age for the exact same reasons. He's been alcohol free for more than a decade now, hasn't stopped him enjoying life. Going to gratefully receive any wisdom he can impart.

 

Onwards and upwards from now. I need some hobbies so might ask CT for advice there. ;) key priority though when I get back from hols is to get fit. I'm starting from a good place ironically because the hospital did every check imaginable on all my organ systems and wouldn't discharge me until they were satisfied I was fully physically fit. So I got a free MOT courtesy of the NHS. Once again, thanks everybody here for your support, helped me through the darkest period of my life.

Good man Renton. In terms of hobbies, if you take up the guitar, we'll let you post in the Guitar Thread. It's a pretty exclusive club of Toontastic's finest posters, but we'll make an exception for you.

Reading that has literally cheered my whole day up Renton, just seeing you bounce back to some positivity after all that shit.

 

It didn't kill you, so it will make you stronger. Good luck with all of it.

Yes, alcoholism is normally the vehicle for underlying issues.  You are already on the right path. Drinking may take away the current state of mind but will make anxiety twice as worse the next day.

 

I used to be a big drinker but barely touch the stuff these days. Young kids have put an end to that. I

 

Also - don't worry about that Guitar forum. Im not in it so it can't be that exclusive.

Grand to hear all that, Renton. Hope you have a great holiday and it feels like the dawn of a new age for you.

I'm not saying "Renton vs. Gemmill parkrun-off", but we all want to see it ;)
