I hear you...

I've read through a few of the posts and must agree, the pills aren't the answer, but we addicts/alcoholics want FAST solutions to these (hopefully) temporary problems. I'm a year and a half sober and I mostly have panic attacks in the morning when I wake. Well it's no wonder, for me, I know that I'm freaking out because I'm currently unemployed, living in a new town, and feeling a little lost. I can't afford a therapist (but maybe you can and I recommend it) but I do talk to my sponsor about this a lot. Again, for me, I feel it's only temporary. Taking pills will (oh boy, oh boy) only get me high. Umm, I'm in recovery, last time I checked that really wasn't in our promises.

Hope you're feeling better. Breathe!:ghug
