Knackered Zooms with benzos

Knackered Zooms with Benzos    Hey there, Knackered here. Getting in to see the Dr. used to be an all day commitment.  I can remember times when my mother would take snacks, books and allow us to bring along some small toy we were currently jonesing for and spending all morning gazing at the fish tank.  My brother and I often tried out our wrestling moves on the carpet in the children’s corner.  As long we didn’t mess with the other folks waiting, she left us alone.  I remember the standard

Knackered in the Dark with Benzos

Knackered in the Dark with Benzos    If we’re really honest with ourselves, most of us can attest to the fact that, at this time, we’re not the sharpest tool in the garden shed.  In fact, total awareness, full cognition, acute sensibility and the like expired about the time we hit the halfway point on our taper.  Yes, if you’ve got the bucks and the wherewithal to find them, you can attend online courses in everything from positive thinking to weight loss through power eating.  Yes, multi t

Knackered Steps Out with Benzos

Knackered Steps Out with Benzos    Hey there, Knackered here.  If we’re honest about it, most of us really don’t want to go anywhere.  Left alone, we’re perfectly happy to roam the same household route every day: bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.  Not always in the same order, mind you.  Sometimes it’s nice to change it up, just for variety sake.  And we wear pretty much the same benzo outfit all the time:  pajamas or sweats, leggings and flannel, depending on gender or if you really care at

Knackered at the Dentist with Benzos

Knackered at the Dentist with Benzos    Hey there, Knackered here.  In the beginning was the fear. And the fear led to anxiety and it was not good.  I’ve generally worried about most everything for my entire lifetime.  And, of course, it’s what got me started on the benzos in the first place.  Things were bad to begin with and then they sent me to school.  It was within walking distance or running distance depending on who was chasing me.  The boxer dog on the corner was the worst.  I was f

Horse Power in the Hood with Benzos

Horse Power in the Hood with Benzos    Hey there, Knackered here.  My phone app tells me that our stint of sunny days is coming to an end, soon to be replaced by the Ides of March.  With limited time I decided to make the plunge:  I was leaving the house on foot.  Don’t get scared now, I didn’t plan to talk to strangers or do any jogging.   No, the real reason I’m on the move is not to hear the warbling of songbirds or the sweet breezes through the cherry blossoms, although there’s that too

Knackered in the Sky with Benzos

Knackered in the Sky with Benzos        Hey there, Knackered here.  Having recently explored the perils and potholes of road tripping while on the withdrawal path, today we look skyward to the airlines as a source of moving ourselves around.  Just as automobile adventures require special adaptations for those of us brave enough to put ourselves out there, taking to the air is a journey in and of itself.  Going anywhere through any airport requires a massive amount of identification these da

On the Road with Benzos

Hey there, knackered here.  If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you probably haven’t felt the earth tilting toward the sun, but there are signs of spring in the air.  If you don’t believe me you can look out the window or check the calendar.  Fair skies always leave me with a desire to go somewhere, or at least it has in the past; i.e. the quintessential road trip. Which brings to mind loading our VW bus with the family and camping gear and hoping that the engine doesn’t blow up, again, some
