[be...] Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Jayne, First Thank you for reading. I would like to tell you, I have read your posts, and I think it is admirable that you are staying POSITIVE, that is a very big key to getting through this benzo trip, it is not how long it takes you to finish this Journey to Wellness and Recovery, but how you ACCEPT and how you THINK, you will do well for sure. I would suggest a book for you to read, I brought mine on Amazon, it is called "You are the Placebo" I have been told this helps to get through this with a different mindset and you my friend have that. Also I would suggest that you read some of the Success Stories, but here again stay with the Positive ones, you will know. In ending I am glad that you joined BB, it will give you what you need, and you will succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ja...] Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Be good! Thanks for your kind words and support as well as for the book advice. During my first few weeks of tapering all I did was read the horror stories. You are right when you say to be careful on the success stories. As soon as I see it's about to turn into a horror story I read no further. I really do believe we are the placebo. Can't wait to get the book. My psychiatrist has literally been on me every week to get back to exercise. I have a horse and haven't ridden him, much less seen him since I started my taper. I am happy to say that even though I have been up since 2am I dragged my but to the barn today and rode for an hour. I live in NY and it was 6 degrees when I got there. Had my trainer video my ride n sent it to my shrink inviting him to join me when I ride again on Friday. Lol! It was so good and I must say I'm really proud of myself for going. I'm 58 so I'm no spring chicken. But I did it and am committed to continuing. Actually belly laughed with my barn friends. Felt so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[be...] Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Jayne, that is great, baby steps, but in your case horse steps, isn't laughter great, especially when it comes from the belly. Kudos to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Le...] Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Begood, thanks for these beautiful, positive affirmations I read them every time I'm on BB. They always lift my spirits and help me resist the other thoughts that try to creep in. Jayne, I'm a horse lover also and used to ride. I'm delighted to hear you rode the other day. Walking into the barn, smelling the hay, horses, leather...oh there's nothing like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
