I'll get to the point quick. I'm a recovering alcoholic. 5 years now. I didn't do do it through 12 step programs which have never worked for me. Any 12 steppers reading this spare me...I sobered up because I was tired of rehabs and prison and just wanted my family. Through therapy and medication (Anabuse and Acaprostrste) and yes hanging out with some friends who do go to meetings I have stayed off alcohol. But one thing that's always kicked my ass is depression. I take citalopram. It I have my good days and bad. I use benzos as strong pain killers occasionall only because. As I've explained before I just don't have time to meditate. Exercise helps I play rugby basketball and whatever else when I can but in do hurt myself badly on occasions. Just broke my thumb BMXing. Plus i have a wife and 4 little boys and a baby girl. So yes these meds Come in handy. And we travel for work everywhere. But these meds Sometimes affect my depression. How do people tow the line?
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
