I just like you, at one time also had to have alcohol in my system constantly.....I celebrated my 7th year "sober B-day" this year. When you feel like you really are sick and tired of being sick and tired
give AA a chance ....all I will say {don't like to push anything on anyone}....but with the help of AA....my miracle is not that I gave up drinking
but that i do not have in any way shape or form of desire or want or craving for alcohol..i was a hard case though...it must have been four years before I finally began sobriety. I am not ready to quit xanax yet....Idealy i want to be drug free...I would need it even if it was not adictting...thankx for posting

Man,,,,nothing is worse than alcohol withdrawals.I've been to hell and back from that shit.I too felt like I was going to die, and it really is possible to die if you're that bad with it,,,,,or other drugs like xanax,valium.Barbiturates are the worst of pills,I've never taken those before,but sometimes I feel like it would maybe help the anxiety(which I know it would).(Major downer,like alcohol)But anyway,I did go to detox(three times)for alcohol because I just could not take the hell I was going through when I didn't drink.I could barely go 3 hours without feeling like I was going to die.I knew that when I went,they would give me the pills I needed to make me feel a little better without drinking.I always cleaned up for a month or two,but I'm still drinking.But somehow I seemed to get it under control(sounds fucked up)but I only drink 3 or 4 times a month now and I know the conciquences if I drink more than that.I have too much to lose now. JUST BE CAREFUL with whatever you're doing. I THINK I SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD A LONG TIME AGO. SOMEONE is watching over me.
