Hi everyone ~ This is the first time I've posted here,although I've belonged to PC for some time.

I'm a recovering alcoholic with 19 years clean/sober. I was also addicted to Xanax that the doctor prescribed (which I was drinking, although she didn't know I was drinking). After I'd hit my bottom with alcohol, I'd also hit my bottom with Xanax, and I got clean from that too -- I cold-turkeyed that, even tho i didn't know I wasn't supposed to.

I also suffer from depression, and have spinal problems for which I take pain medication (strictly controlled by my doctor). I guess why I'm here is to perhaps try to help other struggling alcoholics/addicts. I've been there and done that and have the T-shirt.

So if I can be of help to anyone, feel free to mesage me. I'm more than willing to help anyone!

God bless and please take care. And remember - one day at a time!

Hugs, Lee
