Hi Sharon,
I had no idea 'dolls' referred to pills. Never read the book or saw the movie. I might, now, though.
I used to take benzos for anxiety while drinking. Then I gave up the booze but went back on benzos - became addicted to them very quickly. One pill suddenly wasn't enough, then two weren't enough, and soon I was carrying them loose in my pockets for 'emergencies'. Came off them cold-turkey several years ago. I should have seen a doctor - would have been easier - but this way was faster. And I needed everything fast! Got through the symptoms, finally, and here I am.
Pills are just as dangerous as booze for me today. I take anti depressants, but they don't work the same way benzos do.
Thanks for letting me share, Sharon.
