In reply to feel like i'm weak/failure for using XANAX again, posted by chess on September 13, 2005, at 16:40:14
hey! Don't feel weak for using xanax. Think about it: everyone has a "drug" for their problems. Sex, food, TV, working out...xanax just happens to be designed *specifically* for anxiety. Besides, you're not medicating yourself to avoid feeling *anything*--you just want to be able to function, which is a good thing (I'd be concerned if you allowed yourself to stop functioning just to avoid taking xanax). Try to ignore all this Puritanical, anti-drug crap about xanax and "pills" being bad or for "weak" people, blah blah blah--its ridiculous and mean. You do what you have to do to maintain a good quality of life, and thats that.
