I did not drink yesterday when I did not visit here, I just went to bed early feeling a little low but I understand why.
I often think that the problem is that I know more or less all there is to know about drinking, it's harm, and how to stop, but struggle to make use of the knowledge. My Dad always says 'to know and not do, is to not know', but I think he got that line from a film or a book, still it has a ring of truth to it.
I will look into the naltrexone Moreaux, but I think it can only be prescribed by the alcohol service here, not my GP, and I did not really want to head back there unless I had to. I'll see how things pan out and bite the bullet if I have to.
My final delivery of Krat came today, so good for a week or so, I'm going to measure 10g into a tub each day and just use that amount so it lasts as long as possible.
I asked my GP about 5-hpt but he was unwilling to prescribe that, so I got a month's 20mg Prozac and an appointment to see him again in 4 weeks. I could buy the 5-htp myself, say a month's worth, as it takes a month for the prozac to start working, don't know if anyone has any thoughts on that?
For sober fun TPD I have not changed much, except there was an online game I have been part of for about 5 years and always played it whilst drinking at night. I quit the game in Jan when I first stopped drinking and still don't play it.
Regarding support, just my wife, no family nearby and few friends, which suits me just fine, and not forgetting you good people.
I have to figure out something for when that brain worm comes back, and I know it will, probably at the weekend sometime, but even yesterday with a slight hangover (and we all know hair of the dog is the best thing for a hangover...) I didn't have any urge to want to drink.
Not much news other than that I'm afraid.
I know I have asked, and will do some looking myself, but if anyone does have a view on 5-htp use when first starting Prozac I'd be glad to hear it. All for when the krat runs out and I know Prozac and krat are ok together.
Speak tomorrow.
