Whether you're currently tapering, or you've come off of benzos completely, the difficult emotional landscape that accompanies your healing journey can be brutal. I know because I've been there many times. A great lesson I've learned is to let go and not fight it anymore. The energy that is released through letting go is profound and powerful!

    Thank you SO much šŸ™ā™„ļø you are only human and you are allowed to be set back like all of us, - and thank you, thank you, thank you for being honest šŸ™šŸ™šŸ™. And share how you handle the pain. I really also think that those big changes in life is terrible for the damaged nervous system!!! You are healing while you help others and "survive" life ā¤ It is so beautiful. Even though it is SO rough. Thank you for sharing your journey. I really wish you the best. I also think you are healing through these videos. Thank youšŸ™ā™„ļø. Oh I just realized that this video is one year old šŸ˜ Thank you anyway ā¤.
  • hang in there bro! i tell myself all the time im lucky to be alive still after discontinuing benzodiazapines.
  • Thank you, Dan. I very much appreciate your transparency and honesty. This was important to hear right now. Sending you Much Love.

    I read your posts, Bob! šŸ˜‚ Agree with your Comment and feel very grateful for Dan and this new Community of loving support ( finally!). ā¤ The good news is, feelings and thoughts and states of mind are Temporary. The joy and the woe. šŸ™šŸ» Agree with Dan about being hard on Ourselvesā€¦healing isnā€™t linear; we need to intentionally be kind and forgiving and patient with our Minds, bodies and Spirits. ā¤

    I hope youā€™re better now a year later. Iā€™ve been stuck in a dark hole for long time. Sometimes wonder if slow taper is the way to go because I want to die every day & severe depression and donā€™t know how to get out. I have yet to feel better but Iā€™m only at 2.7mg Klonopin from 4mg. Not even half way and not functioning and zero joy. I need a break. I canā€™t live like this. Itā€™s torture
  • God the created of the universe and everything in it. Get to know him by reading the Bible. Your an inspiration continue the good fight!

    We love you too Dan and thank youšŸ™šŸ¼ā¤ļø
  • I am sure you know this Dan, but you are not alone as well. You have helped me so immensely that I can never repay you and just so you know you are appreciated. You inspire me to be the best person I can be, and I completely relate with you. You have allowed me a place to open up, stop bottling things inside me, be vulnerable, learn by putting myself out there and understand that I am not the only one in pain. I would not be healing properly if I didn't find your channel. I had to go inside me and confront my demons while in benzo withdrawal but what I have learned so far is the fear/depression is just an illusion. I used to isolate really bad in this process over the years and it nearly killed me. I could just journal to myself, but it doesn't feel as powerful as putting my feelings/thoughts out there. It seems to take the power of those bad feelings inside away and probably feels the same for you speaking about your struggles. I think it is really cool what you are doing, and I have your back anytime my man. The fact that you are there for me during this process. I mean seriously this is some next level stuff. It almost feels like going into combat with a friend and in that respect, you have a friend for life. āœŠ You do so much for me and a ton of other people as well. You have some love coming your way bro. Who else would read my stupid posts that I have probably been repeating a million times LOL.. Thank you Bob Bobarino

    Hi Dan....We love you buddy. You are on elf the only people on youtube that comforts me in this excruciating taper of valium. It is better than 3 hour interdose withdrawals I had while tapering xanax (which I was on for 26 years), but valium is a bitch of it's own to taper. In many ways I envy that you did not have to taper, but I know you went through your own special hell. I also was addicted to opioids, and they were nothing compared to coming off benzos. Gabapentin was a little hard for me to taper also. I still get discouraged knowing I cannot just stop taking the valium..I despise it. It definitely makes me feel worse after I take it most days..a paradoxical reaction now. I am trying to figure out where to land physically after I'm done tapering, North Carolina is in the mix. I also lived in Florida and hated the weather. Where (you can privately email me if you are comfortable with that) in general is a good place to look in North Carolina to live..it has to have a good support network. I'm a recovering addict and need my recovery family. Sending you love and light my brother.
  • Hey Dan, I found you talking about just sitting with your depression/feelings/life and watching them come and go to be helpful, its like taking the approach of meditation and using in one's day to day life. Thanks.
