No, you are wrong. I we are here because we are all addicts of some description and want to heal and rid ourselves of poison we take. If you want to carry on drinking, its your choice
I definitely wasn’t addicted to Benzos personally. I put them down and never picked them back up after realizing what they were doing to me. I wasn’t ever tempted to take one again. I don’t think everyone here is an addict. Accidental addiction, sure, but most people here were following their doctor’s orders and are only “addicted” because they’ve been tricked into thinking the medicine they were taking was safe for long-term usage.
Dom, I’m sorry to say, but substituting alcohol for Benzos isn’t going to help your recovery time. I have heard people say that alcohol hits all the same receptors in your brain as Benzos. It’s hard to heal from something like Benzo withdrawals when you’re still drinking. You’re just prolonging your experience unfortunately. I know it’s hard, but if you want to heal, you’ll have to do it without substituting one habit-forming substance for another. I don’t think a single person joined this forum because they were enjoying their withdrawal experience. It sucks and it’s terrible, but if you have any chance of making it out the other side, you’ll have to bite the bullet and do what we all did. Suffer through it until it’s over. Or keep doing what you’re doing, I guess, but that really doesn’t seem super effective.
