Thanks Simcha for your post. I too am a 12 stepper who tried for 5 years to go it without medication. My therapist finally sent me to the doctor and so it began. I had a hard time accepting that I couldn't "fix" this with a spiritual solution. I have finally accepted that I need an AD to function and for the sake of those around me! Currently I am starting Zoloft, have only been on it for 3 weeks, one week at 75 and I am having some trouble with anxiety. I have zanax prescribed for flying and I have been tempted to take it for this anxiety I am experiencing now. I am so afraid that being an addict if I take it I will not be "sober"! So I am just hanging in there, waiting for the zoloft to work. I imagine I will need more, hopefully 100mg will do the trick. Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience, strength and hope with another recovering addict that needs meds.
