it happens

@Dangerlurking lol dude I don't either. I ODd on that shit back in 2016.

It’s better than other things out there

That was the worst time of my life

Everyone that quits benzos wishes they never started

@Fash Dragon Yhea, when you hear stories about stuff like that, and their long term effect on people, you tend to get a bit heavy handed in your approach to it.

There’s always a better option

Yep, I certainly do

I feel you Rex

There was a time when half my paycheck went down my throat, into my lungs or up my nose

I don’t like to see our people take the path of drugs

I don’t like it either

@FashyGoy1488 Well, what matters is that you are fixing the issue.

Indeed

I am

Benzos are like a ball and chain

I will be stronger after this

I’m just weak for now

It felt so good at first, I was so relaxed

I feel weak anyways

taking 2x .5mg per day

That’s low, not bad

I took like 11mg in a day once

In the beginning

Oh ok

After 4 years I was on 6-8mg per day

And you quit that entirely?

and sublingual Ativan for when I had panic attacks anyway

@Hadrian That's how most people get into weed, an escape away from their issues.

not week, xanax

Hadrian are you fully off benzos?

My psychiatrist prescribed it along with the rest of my cocktail

Yes, haven't touched one since August 2016

I was connecting the two, in how people get into them.

Wow!

Hadrian wow

I’m proud

I did say I'd been there

What was your process to quit? Taper also?

yeah but a long taper

Yeah I’m kind of being crazy with this jump
