Same idea but stronger. It sucks cause I like him and he keeps me from wanting to smoke rocks. I just want to make sure I'm not encountering a different addict. I got rid of one I don't want another! Personally I have tried Xanax before and I thought it sucked. It did nothing for me. I just can't caption it making someone violent unless they are abusing it.. With or without the booze. Just sayin...
