At 1 year 1 month clean I have had some glimpses of the other side. It is reassuring to hear that all of this will be worth it one day. I have come so far sometimes it is easy to forget. Still have quite a way to go I believe but I am starting to function and live again. It is possible to heal.
I’m in the midst of it all right now man I feel sooo damaged and watching you really helps me out. I honestly see no way out of this .. but I’m trying to keep up the hope I can get well someday.
My past trauma, my trauma from coming off benzos, the trauma from being on benzos and realizing how freaking stupid I have been for most of my life. It is like you said before Dan going thru the fire and coming out forged steel. All of these thoughts were never me to begin with so with time things are getting easier to let go.
@@donna6165 You Rock as well!!! Yeppers it is such a slow process as you well understand. Can't believe I have made it this far never thought I could survive without them or function for that matter.
@@bobbobarino6213 We feel brand-new. Excited and terrified, lol 😅 Forged steel…love that, Dan. 👌🏻 Agree, Bob. It’s a neverending process of making micro-decisions over and over and over all day long. Helpful or unhelpful? That’s the kind of “neutral” inquiry I try to make to myself, brother. When I have to decide. Berating ourselves only adds fuel to fire that is BIND. 😔 We don’t need, deserve or have the fortitude for any of That, my awesome friend. It’s only ever Now, anyway, so what exactly do we think we are accomplishing? 🥹 Except burning precious Daylight. Tick Tock, brother B. Sending you a big Sunday Hug! ❤️
@@donna6165 Morning Donna and great timing on awesome words as usual. I have not been doing well and that's ok I might not be ready to accept this position yet. I am still deciding, and it is not making me feel well. I understand to feel anxious about something new, but my gut feeling is something feels off about it. It is a physical job Auto Technician, and I am really questioning if I want to beat my body up like that again. You are right I am berating myself all kinds of ways, and this has to stop. I just want to be happy/comfortable in my own skin and that will be my success in life and when this happens great things will happen. I am close but not sure I am ready yet. Tic Toc LOL Have a beautiful day Donna

Pretty amazing to me is the time. The time line. This video was made right around the time I jumped off into withdrawal. Spoke with Dan in August of 2023. He said, "Oh wow. You're in the thick of it right now." I was. I'm not now. One thing I know for sure. I am going to be ok. I just noticed that Dan Has done a video on Benzo Belly. I asked him to make one a few months back not knowing he had already done it. My belly was very bad but is much better now.
Hi Dan, have any followers reported any results from using mendi, muse or halo neuro feedback devices to heal benzo damage? Thinking this might help all of us after reading about them.
Hi Ed- I haven’t heard of those therapies yet, so that’s a great question. I’ll keep an ear out and let you know if I come across anything. I say anything that could help is on the table as far as an option, at this point.
