Benzo free for 1 year!

[[di...]]

It is hard to believe but it has been ONE YEAR since I last had a lorazepam.  It is more incredible that I do not even consider taking one!  It is not that I am strong willed but rather it does not even appeal to me.  I think I finally recovered when I stopped "waiting" to be better.  I know it is different for everyone, but for me I think my mind really is stronger than any physical sensation.  The less I focused on the discomfort the better I became.  I was stuck for a long time searching for answers but I guess at some point I stopped searching and just accepted my reality.  Once I did that I started to get better.  Practically speaking, deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation helped me a lot, especially when I was pretty much bedridden.  To everyone still struggling:  BELIEVE that you WILL get better.
