I have a prescription for Xanax that I have renewed a few times since getting sober, 20 months ago. My use of xanax is only as needed, maybe 2 or 3 times per month.
I haven't found Xanax to be a trigger for my using alcohol again. And, for me anyway, just knowing that it is there if I need it is a great comfort.
I combine my very occasional use of Xanax with regular exercise, and the combination has been pretty effective. The anxiety is still there. But it is manageable.
Good luck. And thank you for all of your kind and helpful posts. They are very much appreciated.
