Welcome, LB. You're not to the first benzo/booze hound to grace these pages. And you are wise to begin tackling this problem while you still have the job, family, volunteer position...
...it's said to be a progressive illness, and I can attest to that.
SR is a great place to begin your sober journey. I was a tad confused by your post, however. Are the benzos just something your doctor prescribed to help with the alcohol withdrawal? Or are they part of your daily regimen.
It was the two-fold hammer of benzos and booze that did me in.
Welcome. Post. Read. Share. It works.
