About my drinking

Well, I followed up on the referral that my GP made and met the Care NZ guy today. Currently, I'm doing individual counselling sessions, but he's also suggested that I visit an AA meeting. He said that I was probably better off than most, as I'm not a social drinker. Plus he was willing to listen to the idea that it might be connected to bullying. All free, which is pretty sweet. I mean, people moan about healthcare in NZ, and there's certainly a shitload of issues, but in the US I'd be totally fucked. - I'm not expecting to do AA, but it's definitely worth a visit or two. He said it wasn't religious, but I think that remains to be seen.
