Welcome! I'm glad you found us.
I don't have much personal experience with pills. I have heard that withdraw from benzos can be difficult and quite dangerous. Have you spoken with your doctor about that?

When you spoke with your Doc, did he have any suggestions, besides Sub, to quit? Is an inpatient treatment center a possibility for you? Is it time to find a new doctor more versed in addiction treatment?

Welcome SaVeMe -
Here's the link to our substance abuse section:Substance Abuse - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information
I think PaperDoll's suggestion of inpatient treatment is a good one. It's so hard to beat this stuff on our own. If you can't do the full program, some rehabs offer a medical detox (usually 3-5 days).
I'm sorry you have to go through this, but really, if you can't do it on your own, I'd at least talk to my doctor again. :ghug3
