PC, I was struck by how you dismissed Xanax as something you would take all the time if you didn't understand that it would be so bad if you did. I do the same thing. My insomnia is directly related to anxiety from my work or some embarassing/stupid thing I did. Which means I take Xanax maybe 1 or 2 times at week when I wake up at 3 a.m. I am scared of its reported addictive reputation or I might take it every night.
You too evidently are careful. I think that is significant. It says to me you have the ability to manage your own desire to recklessly self-medicate and you have an ability to tolerate some discomfort. Sure this doesn't compare with reducing a dependency on alcohol, but I think it is hopeful nonetheless.
