Bam, I've read this a couple of times now and I haven't responded only because I'm not sure I have anything helpful to say. I can certainly see your point, and part of me wants to say - whatever helps keep you sober. But I don't think you should use medicine as a crutch, at least not for too long. If it helps you get your brain used to the fact that you can't drink anymore, like Mongo said, then great. Just know that one day you'll be off the meds (hopefully!).
*hugs*
Edited to add: but absolutely it's great that you don't want to risk mixing booze and your meds! That's always risky, alcoholic or not. Better safe than sorry!!
