No, as a recovering alcoholic, I find that they are nothing like booze to me. they just let me live a better life and my doc agrees. I hope to be free of them someday but for now I'm just tapering down to the lowest dose possible, I'll probably have to be on a small dose until they find a better cure for restless leg syndrome and anxiety/panic which clonazepam works beautifully on for both.

Blackouts can occur when you first start taking them or take a high dose, especially with hypnotics, they do mess with my memory though, but I'd prefer that for now than drinking every night and all weekend long remembering nothing.
