Hi Ginny,

 

Thank you so much! It's like counting down the nights until my Birthday when I was a kid!

 

It's such a small piece of tablet, but still too much poison.

 

I hope to follow in your footsteps soon and be free of benzos.

 

How are you atm? Hopefully you're feeling a bit better every day!

 

Take care!

Troch,

 

I am feeling better.  Some brain fog yesterday but none today yet.  It usually comes on by mid-morning.  Sleep and anxiety improving.  The funeral put things to rest for me so stress is pretty much gone.

 

I continue to listen to positive affirmations daily, guided meditations at night if needed.  Today is also day four of celery juice/cleanse in the morning.  Supposed to be healing for neurotransmitters, insomnia and anxiety.  The first two days were rough but started improving yesterday and even better today.  Thanks for asking.

 

And thanks to all of you who sent condolences.  It helped.  Ginger

Trochsetter,

 

This is your week, I could not be more envious!!  You are ready to cross the finish line.  Life can only get better from here!

Hello Seasalt,

 

How really kind of you!  Thanks sooo much! 

 

Yes, just 4 more days and I 'll be Benzo free!  I can almost smell the finish line...

 

Thursday is going to be the first day I won't have to use my box of tablets, the scales and file! 

 

Best of luck with your taper!

 

Have a lovely Sunday! XX

Well girls and boys, 

 

Tonight I'm going to take my last  crumb of Diazepam! 

 

The bits of tablet are now so small, there's just no point in prolonging this.

 

It just is time to stop.

 

After 2,5 years of tapering and often holding this book is closing tonight!

 

It has been an unbelievable journey, to say the least.

 

Words cannot describe.

 

Only you, fellow benzo victims, know how awful benzos are.

 

I often doubted if I would make it, but I made it through.

 

A big thank you to people on here who have supported me along this road!  ❣

Ps This was the official part. The party starts tomorrow

Not good here, I see my doctor tomorrow about possible up dose or changing to kolopin.

Hi lostdaydreaming,

 

Sorry to hear you're not feeling good. Let's hope things will improve soon.

 

From what I 've read on here, most people wouldn't suggest updosing. It would be better to try and become more stable by holding for a while. Tapering off, then going up again followed by tapering again, is bad for our CNS.

Maybe a rescue dose might help for now.

Perhaps you could discuss all of this with your doctor.

 

All the best to you.

Hi everybody,

 

Today I did a bit of celebrating. Nothing too crazy.

 

Everyone tells me to be proud of myself for "achieving this big deal". OK,  I am.

 

After my evening meal it felt a bit strange not having to prepare tonight's dose...Been at it every evening for the last two and a half years! You all know this procedure.

 

Felt happy and relieved all day long.

 

Wish you all a nice day!

 

Trochsetter

Troch so very happy for you ❤❤🤗

👍👋💐

Trochsetter,

 

Happy Independence day!!    I know how strange it is at first not to prepare and take the doses. It took me a couple weeks to get used to not having to do it. Sometimes I would panic thinking I needed to take my dose.  Then I would remember that I was free. 

 

I'm closing in on 7 months off and feeling good.  I don't even think about wd sx any more.  All the best on your new life.  Ginger    🎉 👍

Congratulations!!!!

[[Tr...]]

 

Thank you both so much! 

 

It does feel good to be able to say I made it. It's like turning a page and start to read a new chapter in my book of life.

 

I wish you a great day! XX

Congratulations Torch!!

 

Hi LHSG

I see several of you have long holds in your signature. Would you all be able to share how long your holds were and what benefits you saw from it please. Also is there any fear of tolerance with a long hold. I am at 5.6 L which is 2.2 V and been microtapering since Nov 2018. I need a break but holds  in the past of three weeks to a month have done nothing for me. Even have felt worse holding.

 

Thank you all!
