I am sorry, AO. I don't know that I have any helpful advice. But I am curious. Why didn't you try the Xanax that had been prescribed? For me, under the circumstances you were in, it would have been my alternative to alcohol. Of course, in my case, the difference is that if I take a Xanax, I don't have an urge for 10 more, as I do after having a drink.
If the Xanax isn't relieving the anxiety, maybe you need to talk to your doctor about trying a different medication?
Anyway, I am glad you are hear with us. I hope you are feeling better very soon.
