I'm not a doctor but from my own personal experience I prefer to stay away from any meds of ANY form. I will do a natural remedy but no OTC or presriptions of any kind.
I spent 30 years drinking...my life has had its ups and downs...I can not expect perfection in 30 minutes. I took a long time to screw up my life and it will take time to get everything to where it should be.
Booze was an easy high...you take a few shots and immediately you feel better. When you subsistute meds to help you, I feel you are replacing one with the other. It is our addictive minds that like things fast and furious. Sobriety is a slow heal forever.
@ danielmalice....again, I am not a dr. but I would think that valium is something you'd want to stay away from at this point.
