alcohol dependence
"Started as social drinker came from parents that were functional alcoholics. Started heaving drinking 5 years ago I was a closet drinker hid it from my wife but she knew and confronted me several times. Vodka was my drug.  I have been on this medication for 7 days last 3 days I've not taken pill or drank. The key for me I was tired of hiding and tired of drinking I told my wife and friends I'm alcoholic that is the key is being honest not embarrassed.  I also get counselling also it's been 7 days but I feel so free."
