Thanks for the comments. Not really sure I have an addiction problem so to speak, but I keep myseslf in check with how much and how often I take the Xanax. The marijuana was as natural as it gets really, but smoking probably waasn't the healthy way I could have used it, but as long as I am on probation its pretty much a non-option no matter what. In terms of other alternatives, I have been recommended more alt medicines than I can possibly explain. The problem with anxiety, is its not always related to diet. So alt medicines tend not to always work as much as health people want t o insist. In any event glad you liked the post and thanks for commenting.
