I don't care anymore as long as it keeps me out of the E.R. or handcuffs.The good thing with me is that I will rarely, if ever use drugs unless I have already had a "few" beers. I would have gone to a meeting, prayed, called someone in the program yesterday and still had ended up drunk. I think this "old school" medication really isn't used much anymore but for me I thank God i had it in my system. For the next 3 months I will do a 90 pills in 90 days program and hopefully remain sane. Addiction can sometimes be a slow death with many jails and institution visits along the way. I am so powerless over alcohol it is scary.
