Yeah I definitely agree that I have an addictive personality. And I suppose trying to rush things by immediately jumping into medications (especially ones with high abuse and dependence potential) is probably a bad idea. I just figured that after spending 4 months sober I would notice at least a little bit of a change, for better or worse, but it didn't happen. I guess that's why I feel like sobriety alone isn't enough but after reading quite a bit of stuff on this site for a few hours last night it seems like the consensus is that there is absolutely no 'quick fix' for this.
Thanks much Jay,
keep on keepin on
