No! I have a few years sober. I still occasionally dream about it and some days can be really tough. I made some (a lot) of bad decisions on Xanax that ultimately if I wanted to keep the life I have and the people I love, I had to quit. I probably still think about it everyday at least once

Ugh i used to take non script benzos for social anxiety aswell. I knew it was bad but it helped really really well. But at a certain point i was taking them daily and barred out all the time. Turnjng point was when i took too much too many times. Can i ask you how you manage your anxiety now? I started therapy. Next week is my first session, they said theyll give me exposure therapy. You think that helps?
