Guest [Or...] Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 BenzoBuddies can be depressing at times. So, lets focus on some POSITIVES! List some things that you are thankful for I will kick it off! 1) My partner - Without him, I would be so lost. 2) My Aunt - She is a kindred soul and has guided me through this with ease. She is a psychic (If thats your thing) and so far has predicted EVERY DAMN THING TO HAPPEN TO ME! She predicted that my poor health was due to something that I was taking and had to get rid of (I didnt know it was the pills at the time, she didnt know I was taking them either). She has also predicted windows and waves. Its crazy. She sees me healing 100% in 9-19 days. Check my progress log for details. lol 3) Benzo Withdrawal - Yes, I am thankful for benzo withdrawal. I took life for granted up until this point, despite a previously severe anxiety disorder that started in 2008. I will no longer do so. I will stop to smell the roses. I will enjoy the brisk, Canadian winters. I will treasure EVERY moment of relaxation I get after this. 4) BenzoBuddies - If it wasnt for this website, I would have never known what I was going through. lol. So, thank you!
