Something's bothering me... need opinions
I just posted yesterday about being 1 month sober (still sober, don't worry). But the thing that's been nagging at me is that I'm also currently being treated for depression and anxiety (caused by drinking, or did those things cause the drinking in the first place? Who knows?).
Anyway, I'm on a daily dose of Lexapro (which is helping tremendously) and I also take Xanax on an occasional basis for panic attacks. I take them as prescribed.
But here's the thing: If I'm taking substances to help me feel better, am I really "sober" or "clean"? Some people would say no. I don't want to feel like I'm using any kind of crutch. I don't know.
Any thoughts on the subject?
