Are you still taking valium? Have you ever tried detoxing off of that?
I've used plenty of substances to get "sober" Using one for another is not sobriety. I'm very happy for you that you do not drink anymore. Alcoholism is a disease. When you introduce alcohol into your system (yes, 1.5% alcohol is alcohol--just like one shot compared to 20 is still alcohol) it causes a chemical reaction, no matter how small the amount, your body will crave it. I wonder how long are you "sober" (this time)
I've been through this many times and Know countless people who have been through this over 20, 30, 40 years, I've researched medical studies, etc trying to find an easy way out.
