I thought I might put up a page to let you know who I am and how I got here. I also thought I might share my story about my addiction to Xanax after being diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder in 2007. I was given a prescription for Lexapro and Xanax.
First a little about my family. I am married to a wonderful woman and we have three daughters, 1 Grandson and 1 Granddaughter at the time I am writing this.
As we were gearing up for my wife to go through her third major surgery, I was scared to death that she wasn’t going to make it. This surgery needed to be done as someones life depended on it.
My Wife’s sister was diagnosed with a form of Liver cancer that could not be treated. The only way to stop the cancer from killing her was with a liver transplant. We could not wait for a liver donation so my wife donated part of her liver to her sister.
All went well with the surgery and both my wife and sister-in-law are doing great.
The anxiety came in when my fears of being alone reared their ugly head when I thought I might lose my Wife. That passed somewhat after the surgery but about three weeks later, I had to rush my wife to the Emergency room because of severe pain and she could barely walk to the car. As it turns out she had a leak and her chest cavity had filled up with fluid.
Then came the stress of only one income for the three months my wife was out of work. The bills piled up and I just kept popping my Xanax. Before to long I found myself needing (or wanting) the Xanax constantly. I started to spiral downward with my moods and I found myself crying a lot for no reason. I needed help.
I went into out patient treatment for my pill addiction and was able to learn what I needed to turn my life back around. I had been out of treatment for about 2 months when I realized that I need to help others if I am to continue on my path to recovery.
I took everything I learned about overcoming anxiety and stress and also overcoming addiction and combined it all with my Internet Marketing knowledge. This is when I realized what my purpose was. My purpose on this earth is to help others by showing them all of the alternative methods there are to overcoming anxiety and stress.
If there is ever anything that I can do for you, just ask. If you need help with something, just ask.
Thanks for taking the time to listen to my story 
You are Awesome!
Talk soon…
Keep Moving Forward!
