Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Please contact : An addiction medicine specialist for help. Right now open up the yellow pages, or google on line for alcoholics anonymous meetings. Go to a meeting tonight. If you don't have transport to a meeting, call the number & ask for help. Get a 12 step sponsor (even if only a temporary one). Take action now. You are worth it.
