Idol, I'm so glad your doctor visit was such a success. It's easy to become anxious about all of the "what if's" before such a visit but it sounds like you got a really compassionate and knowledgeable doctor. That's fantastic.
Good that you're going to counseling too; you need some kind of program or recovery method to keep you sober.
Some folks do trade one addiction for another, so be careful with those "magic pills." Benzos can be a living hell to come off of, so take as few as possible and don't take any at all if you don't need them. Sounds like you've got the meds under control though, and that's a good thing.
I'm so happy for you. Keep going - it gets better.
