    Everything I need to hear. It’s amazing how many of our stories sound the same.

    Jesus was a man of sorrows and well acquainted with grief. He is the only light in the darkness. To have Him for a friend is to have the way, the truth and the life for a friend. Come home

    Hi Dan how's tricks? I've been reading through alit of your comments from people and noticed people are talking of acute and post acute.... some are saying the acute stage was easier and for me I think the acute stage was easier than post acute.... obviously if the acute symptoms lasted far out it be different but it doesn't...I done more and saw with more clarity through that stage and then the post acute came with a hole load of other symptoms....I done more in the first 3 months of this and now the energy has Disappeared pretty much but I had to much energy in acute..I couldn't sit down for a second...... there's a video for you ACUTE vs POST ACUTE..... how was it for you and what is or was harder for you... take care good buddy.....

    Great video! SMART Recovery is a non secular science based recovery program that has been a life changer for me in dealing with the reasoning behind my benzo addiction. I now choose to deal with my emotions, and what life throws at me instead of medicating them.

    Wow looking back at my posts from a couple weeks ago is pretty wild. Can really see how my emotions were all over the place (looping bad). It feels like I did make some progress, but I need to take it easy on myself. My mental state is much better and I am starting to be more self-aware of what is going on. I was on and off them for a long time. I started to believe the thoughts of the benzos were me but they were not all along. Just being able to recognize this feels like a huge step in my healing. The great news is I am still in there. I hope everyone is doing well and try not to isolate yourself during this process. I did but coming into this community has really helped me. It is really hard for me to open up still but it feels really healthy for me and maybe it can help someone going thru this. Things are getting better😀Bob Bobarino

    ❤Thank you Dan for putting your heart on your sleeve and baring your soul to all of us out here who can very much relate to your story. I know that I for one, admire your courage and am deeply thankful to you for being my voice as I try to navigate through these first months of withdrawal.

    Hey ma man thanks for the shout...I will help as much as I can ... your helping me so much I can't thank you enough...... listening to you talk I feel like I'm watching and listening to myself... the way you are out of withdrawal and how you are in it...I feel the same and being a kid I had the same feelings also.... If it wasnt for people like you then excuse my language but we would all be fucked...... there is no help...you are the help..the understanding. The motivator...the solution to help...you are the everything..... I actually imagine how many people are in psychiatrist units thinking there crazy and its just withdrawal... how many people don't know what's happening to them and maybe if they found you and your videos how much things could be different for them....people who find you here we are the lucky ones and that on it's own is helping me through this withdrawal... someone who understands..... I think your great Dan man .. things might be bad but it's easier knowing your here and we're not all mental..your some guy.

    Your comments about trying to fix everything right now, catastrophizing, and staying in the moment are very poignant and helpful. As an atheist, I respect your spiritual journey, but that is not a part of my journey. Appreciate this post.

    Really like this topic and your take on depression during benzo/recovery. It made me think why I leaned towards benzo and me being overly sensitive as well. I realized that I was overly sensitive as a kid because I was asked to manage my parents rage and fluctuating extreme moods. When I found benzos early on it felt like heaven because it dampened my Fight or Flight response, and I had on a warm blanket. I take responsibility for taking drugs and also give myself some compassion because it was the best, I could do at the time I just didn't realize how bad benzos really are. I also forgive my Parents as everyone is doing the best they can. They had something happen to them which caused them pain as well and bad behavior. Processing my past emotions was my biggest trigger. Love the being present you discussed I never knew how when on benzos.
