Thank you so much for your time in replying
I shall now open up a bit about why I asked the questionā¦.
I have some mental health issues. One is Aspergerās, but I am fine with that. But I also have PTSD. My PTSD is related to my old job. I used to be a disaster recovery engineer, specialising in high tech and major loss. Most of the time, the work was not what you immediately think of from the job title, I usually worked for insurance companies whose client has had a fire or flood, and they could not just replace the equipment. This could range from a food company (I cannot say who it was, but if you had seen their facilities, I promise you would never eat anything that came from that factory ever againā¦ 
) to other industrial restoration from a large specialist factory to a famous US university and power stations of all kinds (some of which were large scale R&D projects that were really interesting to work on).
But sometimes the job would be exactly what it sounds like. But I mainly covered the big ones, those that are remembered by thir date or their location or the name of the storm and that side of my job messed me up quite a lot.
In the end I was consuming so much alcohol, my weekly unit intake was 3 digit number. But with the help of Nick at turning point, I really am sober, I have not slipped, I am not lying to myself, I really havenāt touched alcohol at all. I remember talking about anabuse and Nick told me that he didnāt recommend it, because you can be triggered by someone wearing aftershave or cologne for example. I am naturally a bit reclusive, so that would not have been a problem. But it means it has been Nick, turning point, the daily counter here and willpower that got me through. I had to change GP, and in my first appointment she asked about how much I drink. When I first met her, I had got down to two digits but that was the moment all my mental health support effectively stopped. She looked at me and said
āSome people are destined to develop cancer, some people are born diabetic, people like you are just addictsā. Those were her exact words. (west Yorkshire doctor).
And so I am wondering how I can prove to her and the mental health team that I have stopped drinkingā¦..
I cannot even get an emergency prescription, and so I am sitting here with the door open trying to cool down. There is sweat running down my face, this is partially a result of suddenly stopping long term medication, and partly because I am on mental health crisis, but since that point, I have been labelled as an addict. I went to one place, and was told to come back when I am less agitated. And then maybe they could give me enough medicine to last till tomorrow.
I have no anti-anxiety meds, and when I am calm, then they may give me something to calm me down.
I think I need to demand a a drug and alcohol screen, and I was just wondering from my blood or wee how long I can prove my sobriety. Then maybe someone will help me.
I suppose its worth it to ask for an alcohol screening if that is what it takes. Do u have an option of changing GPs again? Or would that even make a difference?
