I have taken care of hundreds of patients in the hospitals I worked at, and nurses ARE the worst patients!!! You are definitely not alone
You do have to be able to trust your pdoc
I'm glad that you will be working with your tdoc, Robin, on your addictive behaviors. AA isn't for everyone, but you need a more aggressive plan to try to reign in your drinking if you don't want to stop. It will be hard.
I'm glad that your pdoc is having your taper the Klonopin. It's necessary, even with a small dose.
