The big key for this was willing to be honest !!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I decided to get honest and truly quit, I told my doctor that I am a ALCOHOLIC and I am quitting but have all this anxiety.. Which like most will go away in some time, cause the majority of it is worsened by the booze.
So since I did that , she put me on Zoloft
(a non-narcotic)because I was honest she wouldn't use all the other ones that are usually handed out like candy.. All the benzo's..
I stayed on them for a year, and was weened off them, and never looked back..
