I loved to drink, I would drink if I was happy, sad, tired, angry I always had/found reasons to drink. I have lost the best moments in life because, I rather than enjoying the moment I rejoiced the moment with alcohol. Almost everyday I used to wake up in the morning with regret of binge drinking the previous night. Every day I would promise myself that I will not drink again but some how eventually end up breaking my promise before the day ends. I've even been in and out of rehabs thrice, got admitted due to binge drinking for several days, every time I was out of the hospital I will tell myself and my family that this will be the last time but the last time never came for many many years. I lost my job, a lot of money, friends. All my relatives gave up on me, to be honest at one point I gave up on myself, all because of my drinking habit. I even saw people die because of the same habit but I never stopped, although I wanted to I just couldn't stop.
After one such episode of binge drinking a very dear friend took me to Dr. Varsha, my family was against it at first due to the social stigma of seeing a Phsycatrist was that you were "Insane". I too was very sceptical before I met her, I thought what different will this person do that soo many other Doctor's couldn't. All that changed after meeting Dr. Varsha, she took time to hear me out and understand what the root of my problem was, she heard through all my unresonable reasons for drinking not just me she even spoke to my friends and family to understand my reasonings for drinking. I underwent Dr. Varsha's treatement for sometime then I thought to my self that I was better and stopped my visits to her without consultaion. Boy was I wrong, I had yet another relapse. I was again admitted to the same hospital that Dr. Varsha was working as her patient. But this time after discharge I was given anti craving medicine to completely put a stop to any future relapses. It's been over six months now, I'm proud to say till this day I've never taken a sip of alcohol neither did I feel the urge/need/feel/craving whatever you may call it to do so. I found a new job and I'm leading a happy healthy life. A very big thank you to Dr. Varsha for not giving up on me even when I did, explaining how horrible my life would be if I would not stop drinking. During this Covid-19 situation it has not been possible to physically meet her but she's always very happy to help even if you were just to call her. She is kind and courteous, understand's her patients financial situation very well, she doesn't prescribe any unnecessary and unwanted treatments, she'll make you feel like your in good hands. She's an Angel in disguise. Thank you Dr. Varsha for this new life. Read less
