Your video raises a great point about society in general. When, and it is when, not if, society runs out of these drugs or there is a supply hiccup, we're going to have millions of crazy mfers running around unhooked. GOD help us.

I had to quit as the drug was contra-indicating. A fancy term for not working. The more I took, the less they benefitted me. In the end I found that if I took less, I slept better and had a better day all around. Little did I know that quitting this drug was something you did not undertake like alcohol or oxy. There is a process. I had no idea. Here I am 13 months into my withdrawal and having what seems to be my 7th really good day in a row. There is relief! Stay the course. Man, you get the benzo withdrawal. You really do. I myself promised that if I ever got to the point of suicide again and really meant it, I would go back on the drug. You are heart attack serious when you're looking in the camera and saying, "You better believe I would be taking benzos for the rest of my life." I can feel your sincerity because I've been there as well.

Hey Jim, I'm glad to hear you are putting those good days together. What a good feeling that is. I hope you continue to have more of that going forward. That tolerance and ineffectiveness you speak about is common for a lot of people. On my end, it was one thing I didn't experience. When I did find myself raising my dosage, it was more circumstantial than an issue of tolerance or ineffectiveness. You are right, benzos are a different beast compared to alcohol and opioids!!!

@@windowsNwaves Working on about 9 great days straight. I was lying in bed the other night and thought, "Is this over?" It wasn't as I had a very restless night after that with ill feelings and a bit of anxiety. I just went to Lake Michigan with my doggo. I love it there. It is so peaceful. I think I ma close to being completely healed. I still deal with a bit of dizzyness and exhaustion but it's nothing compared to what I was doing. Peace, Out

I stopped because my Dr's are idiots and just took them cold turkey after 10.5 years of daily use. I have ptsd from finding my baby daughter dead in 2013 and my husband committed suicide it 2017. But I'm here and kicking dammit.
