A lot of doctors believed that alcoholism was caused by a Valium deficiency. - Trip S.
From Alkie Speaks
to my way of thinking, this affirms my belief that pills, certainly the ones I were on, were like dried up alcohol.
I didn't always have the same symptoms as alcoholics I heard share at meetings, but I did experience what they shared when I abused my pills.
I stole my first glass of alcohol at 10. It was communion wine and attached to it was a feeling of guilt and heaven. I searched for that feeling for years. The only trouble was that over the years, it took more and more to find the feeling. As my disease progressed, when I found the feeling, I couldn't stop there, I had to have more.
When I tried to quit drinking, I didn't know about AA. I tried my way, which was in increase my pill intake. I was given valium at 16. It progressed over the years to other things and stronger doses. In the end I was doing both.
I get the feeling that my doctor things that I am still tippling or doing something wrong. Once I told him that I was a recovering alcoholic, I am sure a wall went up along with his nose.
When I told him I had a pain, he said, "Pain means nothing, take a pill."
He received a letter from the hospital and I have an appointment with him on Tuesday to discuss it with him. It was my medications that caused my kidneys to disfunction. I went to see him to show him the changes that were made at the hospital. So now I am a bit anxious as to why he wants to see me. Certainly something I have had to turn over, and it is important that I stay in the moment. Tuesday is a long way off.
