All, Thanks for all of the great support that is available on this site. Today is my 120th day of sobriety. I plan on taking a plane flight next month for the holiday. I woke up this morning at 4:00 a.m. with a horrible panic attack about flying.
When I flew 8 months ago, I didn't have any issues - thanks to the use of self-medicating with alcohol. I did meet with my P-Doc today and told her of my concerns / issue. She's currently working with me on the taper of the benzos (Xanax) and provided some guidance for the flight. She suggested using a 2nd Xanax before the flight and I could combine some Trazadone to make me drowsy for the flight. Yet, I have this fear that this flight could be the biggest trigger I've faced with my sobriety to date.
Just wondering how others might handle this situation who have flying fears and no longer drink alcohol. Thanks.
