Saliena,

I'm glad that you found a resource that answers some of the questions you may have had surrounding addiction transfer. It's funny how validation in an obscure aspect of our lives can be so comforting.

I, too have a similiar experience. When I started taking Prozac after having major anxiety and depression post 9/11 (I was there), I swore that it made me want to drink more to offset the "high" even at the lowest dose which I was on and thought I was really going crazy. Turns out that there is a segment of people that respond to the drug in the very same way! I, much like you, can't help but wonder if the prozac and increased alcohol use took me down a path I wouldn't have otherwise gone down. I guess all we can do is be thankful for being right where we are.

Sounds like you're making progress with the weight loss, overall health and now your 7 days, is it? (We have the same amount of days! Yay, us!)

I wish you continued strength and I'm really glad that you're here, too.
