it isn't disgusting. it is addiction. and it is very hard to manage.
dunno about the medication you're taking but it has seemed to help you greatly during the course of time you've been taking it.
would definitely ask doc about taking more if that might help. utilize ALL your resources right now to get through this challenging time.
there is nothing disgusting about facing your reality and truth. you haven't hidden from the work of healing and you continue to face it day in and day out. that is courage. there is nothing disgusting about being courageous enough to keep working on getting better. it is admirable, not gross.
pls be kind to yourself. you know your friends wouldn't think of you this way, and you don't choose lame friends so why not listen to them and try to come around to their way of thinking? (which would be---be nice to SP, treat her kindly and gently, ask doc for extra med help, reach out to the support network, post if it helps, etc)
a very dear friend went DOWN due to alcoholism and depression. friend is on meds now. alcohol isn't the crutch and saviour it used to be in this friend's world. so many ppl around this friend when this was happening did not think the friend would survive let alone overcome. things aren't back to normal yet but the alcohol has been removed from the equation, ADs are on board and hope continues day by day.
