You don't have to hit rock bottom. I have no doubt that if I drank I would be alcoholic because I have pretty bad hypoglycemia and it is related, if not basically the same thing. Consider yourself hypoglycemic and eat a good fatty piece of meat right now if you still have the urge to drink. Don't try at this time to be a vegetarian. Read Dr Schwarzbein's Principal and Dr. Bernstein's diabetic solution. Read up on vitamin supplements for alcholics and hypoglycemics. I think B vitamins are recommended. Eat protein and green vegetables and good fats at every meal. Eat some saturated fats. Also eat olive oil and some nut oils. Check out flaxseed oil..it is a bit controversial. Eat fish, lots of it. Eat 5 or 6 meals a day. Eat no processed carbohydrates. Beans, lentils, oatmeal should be OK. If you can get to a naturopathic doctor, go. If not, search the internet for guidance, some of which will be good and some bad. Go to AA meetings whether you believe in them or not and don't drink the coffee or eat the donuts.
