Indeed, I tend to agree with Elizabeth's consensus that we're all different (and I know this is an old post - just came up on a search). The truth is that the majority of the people in the "addiction" field have one line of very linear thinking, having personally worked in that area myself. Everything else is taboo.
The truth also is that I, a former drunk and addict (notice I didn't use the AA term "recovering alcoholic") take BENZOS with my doctors full support and agreement. And I've done so without any tendency to drink, drug, overuse or anything of the kind for years.
So in just a simple, civil comment on the whole debate that was raging about this issue... all I can say is that I'm one former addict who can and does responsibly use prescribed medications. Period.
I suspect I'm not alone in that category :)
