Hi and welcome to BenzoBuddies, rclark231.

 

Because of your addictive nature, it might be easier to get re-addicted to a benzo sooner than most people.

 

If you are taking them only 4 or 5 times per month, I would suggest that you stop immediately before the dependency kicks in and then you find yourself having to undergo another long taper.

 

We have members who have struggled with addiction issues, so you're not alone in this.

 

Please let us know how we may help.

All of my life I have struggled with addiction.

 

Clonazepam/klonopin was a world harder to quit than alcohol or anything else.

 

I do ponder what it would be like for me, if like alcohol, benzos were available on every street corner.
