Patience.

I haven't much of it. Like many of us, maybe drawn to alcohol for the immediate effects. I am getting off xanax and have barely drank this past 5 weeks- I have another week solid now. So week one is behind me. I am a bit lightheaded from time to time. I went through this before with benzos and I know it sucks. But I just wish I could stop and be done with it instead of this long drawn out process. It makes me feel like quitting drinking is not a victory because I have to go through this as well.

The days when I did not take benzos and could recover from drinking with a hangover then get on with my life are gone. That really scares me. I think I am making progress and then I get lightheaded or feel wierd and see how far I have to go with the benzos. I am not on a high dose but it still isn't too great.

WTH have I done to myself I feel like a jacka**
