Protracted and Feeling Better Now

[[Buddie]]

Congrats bruv! I know it’s been a long painful journey. We put it behind us, but will never forget. I’ll stay in touch outside of BB like we have been. I don’t on here much anymore. I’ll never forget this community and the help they gave people like us.

Thanks, man. You were one of the first people I talked to consistently on here back in the summer of 2018 when the insomnia and depression were crushing me. I'm glad we've been able to create a correspondence about the ups and downs of this horrible process. It's true: we put it behind us, but we never forget.

I recommend putting the album 'get well' on while you read this for anyone yet to read.

Great music man, I felt the words of your success story come alive listening to you're songs.

I remember you from back when you first started, you were right, you were freaking out a lot and you couldn't believe it was the benzos.

You had that lost soul sadness and panic about you for quite a while, I was really worried, because every time I came back, you were always so close to the edge. But eventually you understood we all go through that, and its just about holding on for dear life and waiting for time to redeem us. Well you made it, put your feet up, enjoy simple living and all its bliss and take a break lol

So happy for you man, god bless and enjoy, you've earned it.

Thanks, [...]. I appreciate the compliments about the album. The songs really just go with the symptoms I described in the success story. I figure pair those symptoms with some minor chords, you have a pretty heartfelt and emotional album.

Dear BBB,
   Thank you for sharing this descriptive account of your recovery. It is helpful to read for both those suffering and their support circle. Describing the intensity of this journey is hard to do and you captured it very well.

   Knowing you are feeling well is wonderful news! I celebrate your success Boom! Enjoy your beautiful family and good health.

Warmly,

[...], thank for all your support as I was getting better and really struggling back in the fall of 2019. I appreciated the correspondence we had. It was very helpful at the time just to get through another day of suffering. And thanks for the compliments about the writing. Hope you are feeling mostly better now too.

Bluepm, yes, we shared a lot of messages during this since we were on a similar timeline. I think it's good to move away from all this if you're feeling better but don't want to write a success story. I wish you the best going forward.

Congratulations, Man. Thanks for letting us know that success is possible. Even with the worst of the worst scenarios and especially after coming off the devil's candy klonopin.
