YESSS. \o/

This wasn’t supposed to happen for a few more weeks, but then we realized there's a mini-hiatus right now. Let's fill it with h/c goodness!

panic attacks, anxiety, drug/alcohol addiction and withdrawal

[anonymous]

Unknown to Sam, Dean has been reliant on anti-anxiety medication since he got back from Hell. Since it's Dean, reliant means he's been pretty much taking pills every couple of hours to keep himself calm and functional, for a long time now.

When he can't get away from Sam long enough to get to a pharmacy, he takes some of the stockpile of tranquillisers or painkillers they keep in their medical kit. When those are out, he drinks til he passes out, which has led to the drinking s7 style. If he isn't taking his meds/drinking/etc he gets really bad panic attacks and flashbacks. Sam is unaware of any of this, or so his brother thinks.

One day he wakes up to find that Sam has thrown out all his pills, painkillers, tranqs and booze: he's decided it's time for his brother to sober up. Dean tries to warn him how bad things will get, but Sam still isn't prepared for what happens.

Points if Sam gives in and gives Dean pills/booze because of how bad it gets. Maybe he decides Dean being stable/functional is more important than being sober.
