I know EXACTLY where your coming from. Goofballs, Xanax, whatever your prescribed poison... it made me an empty shell and I just didn't care. It took a lot to get away from that and to get back to being the man I was. My whole family suffered from my half-hearted decisions.

My job helped me in ways I didn't think were possible or even practical. The people I work with cared enough to reach out and give me the help I couldn't ask for. They saved my life. I am a Prepress guy, and as much as I hate certain aspects of it, I love my job and the people I work with and for. Loyalty, man... plain and simple.

Sorry to hear you had such a bad go of it but I'm damn glad you're back. Sometimes those hard roads are needed to make you a better person.

That includes both of you guys.  :group:

How is Xanex? I've had a lot of dental work done lately, and originally my anxiety and blood pressure were through the roof. They (the dentist) gave me a prescription for something.... Valium, I think, and it was awful. I abstained from caffeine and alcohol for 48 hours, and then popped 3 valium. It made me so sick; it was worse than the anxiety. I wanted to vomit, and it didn't do a thing to calm me down.

On the bright side, my dentist is awesome, and I think I can say that I am 100% cured of dentist anxiety. I've been back 4 times, and haven't needed to take anything beforehand.

[edit]
QuoteI abstained from caffeine and alcohol for 48 hours

Just read what I typed. Maybe I had the DTs?

not sure about cutting out alcohol (no experience with that, LOL)...  but no caffeine will make you angry with a kick ass headache.
