On the Road with Benzos IV: Surviving the Trip Back Home

Updated: Mar 21, 2023

Anxiety. Benzos. Symptoms. Withdrawal. Overwhelm. Family drama. Wooded trails. Sleepless nights in cheap motels. Long walks and deep thoughts. What do all these things have in common? If you are thinking a recent road trip — you’d be right.


In today’s episode of the podcast, I share a variety of recordings from a January trip to Kansas City. We explore movie quotes and doctor’s notes, F5 tornadoes and emotional volcanoes, tinnitus, tensions, tremors and transgressions, and even a little bit of laughter now and again. I hope you’ll join me.
