Hi Paul,
Don't worry, you didn't upset me. It takes a lot to get me upset, a LOT.
Yes, your right. Before my GP took me off of the medication (Dexedrine), I used to be a T-totaller. I never drank alcohol, EVER. I've seen how it effects families, not only effecting the drinker, but destroying relationships. If I know someone is coming over, I don't drink, or if I'm going it. To be honest I am embarrased. I don't want anyone to see me drunk.
I just drink because I hate my life. Whilst taking Dexedrine I felt like my life was on the right track, heading somewhere. Everything was slowly coming together. My GP destroyed all of that, in one swoop. My life callapsed, my hopes callapsed, my plans callapsed, my dreams were destroyed. I was destroyed.
If I didn't block out how I feel, with no future, I'd go crazy, literally insane. I'd never commit suicide (I'm not brave enough), & as well as that, who knows, hope may be just around the corner.
