Bart,

You were 6 months clean and then boom! Were you taking Xanax during the 6 months?

Bet those last 6 beers were really more of a.....physical crave/withdrawal reaction.....vs............. a feeling great oops mistake.

That is the crazy thing about addiction. Why would we intentionally do what we know is just about the worst thing we can do...just for the drunken euphoria.

Is it possible that you don't have an outlet for developing natural dopamine..e.g. working out, volunteer work, AA?

If you are taking Xanax, you probably are not making enough natural dopamine..that means sadness etc. But, I am no expert for sure.

I wouldn't tell my wife....it would just **** her off.

I do what I want to do. But, I sometimes make bad decisions.

You probably need more than online support in the form of AA for starters.

Thanks.
