Well curt,
The best that you can do is be honest, and know what YOUR priorities are- what you hope to get out of this appt. What you need help with, what you are hoping to change. Make him listen to you, and make a list, if you're worried you might leave something out.Let the pdoc make his suggestions, and then ask him why and listen. Don't resist listening. If you listen well, then you can ask better questions.
Hope things go well with the new pdoc. By the way, why are you resistant to making those changes? Seeing T, healthy lifestyle, vitamins? Those aren't SOOO painful are they? Don't you want to be strong, productive, and have energy to play with the kids and do your projects?
Cigarettes and Alcohol are dependencies that you could easily maintain until you die or are in the hospital. It's your life-- when you're ready to change these dependencies, your life will belong to CURT, and will no longer belong to the beer in the fridge, or the cigarette hiding above the doorframe.
But it's your life. If the pdoc tells you what you don't want to hear, are you still going to listen?
Anyways, best of luck- don't be nervous. You're going to do just fine. You come in the spirit of recognizing that you need help, and that's the biggest step of all. Good for you-
-ll
