Alcoholism and Drug Addiction Intervention
A drug and alcoholism intervention is an attempt by family members and friends to help a chemically dependent person get help for his or her addiction.
Xanax Addiction
- As one of the class of drugs benzodiazepines Xanax has been shown to be a dangerous drug to withdraw from. The reason that Xanax withdrawal is dangerous is that as a CNS depressant that slows neural activity in the brain when the drug is abruptly stopped brain activity can rebound and accelerate out of control. Prolonged Xanax users should not attempt to withdraw from the drug without medical supervision.

Relapse Danger Signs

The term relapse means from the Latin  relabi to slide back, from re- + labi to slide
1 : the act or an instance of backsliding, worsening, or subsiding
2 : a recurrence of symptoms of a disease after a period of improvement


Like recovery relapse is a process that begins before actual re-addiction to drugs and/or alcohol occurs. Within the process of relapse there are many signs that the person in recovery needs to be aware of in order to guard against re-addction. The following are some of the more common danger signs.

I deny my fear.
I convince myself that " I'll never drink/use again."
I decide that " not using" is all I need.
I try to force sobriety on others.
I become overconfident about my recovery.
I behave compulsively...
I overwork or under work,
I over talk or withdraw.
I start isolating.
I make unrealistic or haphazard plans.
I live in the " there and then."
I start daydreaming of failure.
I view my problems as unsolvable.
I avoid having fun.
I over-analyze myself.
I become irritated by friends or family.
I am easily angered.
I begin blaming people, places, things and conditions for my problems.
I begin doubting my disease.
I eat irregularly (over- or under eating, snacking).
I have listless periods.
I sleep irregularly (oversleeping, under sleeping).
I experience periods of deep depression.
I develop an " I don' t care" attitude.
I hoard money, sex or power.
I openly reject help.
I rationalize that drinking or using can' t make my life worse than it is now.
I feel sorry for myself.
I have fantasies of social drinking or using.
I begin to lie consciously.

I am overwhelmed with loneliness, frustration, anger and tension.
I begin contacting or visiting my drinking or using " friends" and places.

I can totally relate to that. I feel as though im slipping back into using behavior after 3+ years of sobriety. I've been gambling, drinking caffeine excessively and behaving in a cocky fashion as of late. Whenever my old behaviors of insecurity return, i know im in for a long haul. To helen, if you are still around, stay around. It's worth it on the bad days and good days. I just want to stay sober!!
