Been recovering but new here.
This site was very helpful as I lurked during the past few months. Not really ready to open up on myself but I got hooked on prescription drugs even added alcohol to the mix. Begged my doctor who wrote them to get me off and the dr got angry and wanted to added zoloff. I had to come off them myself and suffered badly for a month in wd.
Been clear of antianxiety drugs for nearly two months and no mood altering pain pills for a month. I'm still taking OTC pain pills and allergy pills. Made a point to avoid any mood altering drugs and no alcohol for about two months.
For now I just want to comment on others who post I can relate to.
Thanks
Josh

Thanks and welcome Josh. I used to take benzos (anti-anxiety) with booze, then again after I got sober. Got hooked on the pills but didn't drink. Got off them cold-turkey, nearly went mad with the withdrawal, and went to rehab. Coming up on 3 years clean and sober this go 'round. I feel a lot better - usually, that is, but I am going through withdrawal from an antidepressant right now. I'm just over the worst of it now, I think.
Anyway - that's my long-winded way of saying 'been there - and I understand'.
Stick around, and share more when you're ready.
