Oh, my poor, poor friend. I certainly feel your plight. I was once somewhat forced into a period of absenince by my girlfreind and family. Granted, at the time, I was drinking far too much beer, but I was pretty happy. During my seven month sobriety period I felt pretty depressed and just not happy. I am not saying that sobriety is not a great thing for some, but I happen to believe that alcohol can be a VERY healthy thing. I am not exactly sure why you were trying to give it up, but I do know that some jack-*sses try to tell you what makes them happy and think that everyone should follow their perfect lead. I may be putting my head on the platter here, but I think that if something makes you feel better, YOU should be the only one to decide if it's right for you. Also (I may be the only one in the who thinks this), benzo's suck. Alcohol is far better and more effective than the B.S. the pharmacutical campanies push. I hope no matter what you do, you feel better. AD's can certainly help, but there is not perfect cure and I hope you do WHATEVER works best for YOU.
