Yeah my therapist is awesome and has helped me so much in the few years I've been seeing her now. Unfortunately I let myself get deep in the bottle before I sought help for the first time since college over a decade ago.
Addiction is a motherfucker, especially when you can't trust yourself to take the actually effective anxiety meds without doing down the same well. So every time I do detox through a program I end up making it about 2 months max before my anxiety gets to me and I end up drinking to relieve it.
Advice for anyone struggling with alcohol or benzos: detox and withdrawal can actually kill you from only these two drug types. Go to a hospital or program if your symptoms are even moderate.
