> but still I can't and don't want to stop drinking. Everyday I feel guilty but can't wait to get home so that I can have that calming drink. I can't believe I allowed myself to get this bad. I knew a long time ago that if I continued to drink in the fashion that I did, that one day I would not be able to stop. That one day I would Need it. Now the d@mn stuff controls me. Or does depression control me? Ugh, I just want to be normal.
As I've mentioned before, I believe that this is your brain crying for proper GABA regulation, which can be done nicely with benzos.
Using alcohol instead of benzos essentially doesn't work. The body gets worn out processing the alcohol, and unlike benzos, can't get stabilized on a constant amount that simply works, day after day.
Elsewhere you've said that your doctor won't prescribe you benzos, but they may be your only hope.
