I went to the Celebration of Christmas yesterday with my husband and his father’s side of the family. There were seven of us. I already knew everyone, so that made it more comfortable for me. We also had the best seats in the house. I didn’t realize how big the show was. There were hundreds of people there, maybe even more than a thousand. We got there early. I took a half of a Valium, just enough to take the edge off the anxiety. It worked perfectly and I was able to enjoy the fantastic show. Then we all went out to dinner together. It was really nice to spend that time with my father-in-law’s side of the family. We don’t spend enough time together, but we’re working on it.
My psychiatrist prescribes me Valium 10mg twice a day as needed for my anxiety. I do my best not to take it that often. My last one month prescription of Valium last me six months. I take it only when necessary and only the amount that I need. Valium can be addictive and I don’t want to risk my sobriety. It’s better safe than sorry. Plus, the less often I take it, the better it works.

I don’t usually mention drugs, but I take half a Xanex to take the edge off. It’s helped. I too want to protect my sobriety so I have my pdoc make me a prescription for only 5 pills a month. That works for me.

Protecting our sobriety is extremely important. Good for you for only getting 5 pills a month. That’s a great system

I’m glad you had fun at the show. My psychiatrist doesnt prescribe benzos. She said she is too worried i’ll add addiction to my list of problems if she did. xx
