Rockitdawg recovery

To whom it may concern,

Well its been since December 19 2016 since I jumped off the Benzo train.

Quit Cold Turkey The  major physical detox symptoms lasted  3 months

some lingering effects have been contact dermatitis and symmetrical itching

After 14 years of 2+ mil. of Zanex per day Coming up on  2 years CLEAN

A lot of things are coming back into focus.

From my personal experience Now at age 59 I need to report

that I had been mentally  emotionally and sexually numb during the Benzo years

I am pissed off that I missed out on a lot of reality, feelings and sex.

Getting back to normal finally.

To any newcomers It's bad at first but it's so much better when you can feel reality.

To any old timers I broke on through to the other side. Much better here.

Congratulations Rockitdawg on a great accomplishment! So happy to hear that your recovered almost completely 2 years after jumping off the benzo train.

Did you experience sleep problems and are these gone now?

I wish you a happy and healthy life together with your loved ones.

Congrats, rockitdawg!

Dear Fellow readers;

I quit 1 mg. + Zanax per day for 15 years cold turkey on December 21 2015.

It has been quite a journey  I really don't want to go into the nasty details.

Life is good now, my concept of reality is much less fuzzy. My  long & short term memory has

returned I can compartmentalize problems

My relationship with my daughter is a lot better no more hiding with a chill pill.

I have a great group of friends;With  whom I travel and have fellowship with, We all have our tales of triumphs and tribulations. My wing dog named Rockitdawg is 8 years old now.He has been my stable Rock Unconditional love and companionship through this fog,

To any one who is starting their recovery journey My advice is there is a true meaning to the physical realm in which we live, once you remove the clouds.

Peace and love " pay it forward

Bob Perkins AKA Rockitdawg

Congrats!

When did you feel mostly recovered?

I'm 19.5 months and startig to see some signs of recovery

Thanks!

I'm sure all recoveries are different because all people and environments are different.

The first 3 months were the worst

It's like the recovery process is much like the addition process.

with addiction it comes on slowly and after years of abuse it

quite the project to get clean.

the best I can say is that after 2 years of abstinence

my " normal" thought process is coming back so are my interpersonal

relationships my rationality my temperament  All in all I am much clearer

with my thought process.

I am sure that my neuro receptors  are firing and making  much better  connections

I can't say that I am completely healed but I am feeling better and stronger

each and every day.

Good luck
