Yeah I have a long history with alcohol. Multiple DUIs, jail time, probation, long periods of heavy drinking etc. Spent all of 2018 sober and then relapsed in 2019. Quit again shortly after Christmas and been sober since the New Year. I have a pattern where I go a long period without drinking, relapse, then get sober again. This last go was especially brutal in terms of the general chaos it caused plus the withdrawal but I did have access to Temazepam and Etifoxine which helped. Etizolam helps but too short acting. I would never consider taking a benzo daily as the withdrawals are up there with booze.

For now I am on the wagon. I've made the commitment to at least get myself together in terms of finances and life goals before I consider drinking. Knowing that I am allowing myself to drink at some point in the future is a big part of what helps me stay sober, even though I know drinking is never something that will be a positive force in my life. It's just the alcoholism talking haha.

Cheers bro and stay sober!
