What is it like living in protracted withdrawal, seven years out? What are the joys? What are the pains? What are the triggers? What thoughts ruminate in the mind? Join your host as we pull back the curtain and visit a day in the life.
For today’s podcast, I carried the recorder around with me all day so I could share the good, the bad, the fun, the mundane, the contemplations and struggles of living life in protracted benzo withdrawal. We touch on a wide variety of subjects and close out with a special version of our Moment of Peace. I hope you’ll join us.
