Benzo dependence and withdrawal can seem hopeless at times — but it’s not. There is hope. There is healing. There is a better life on the other side. And today we dedicated an entire episode to positive messages and stories of success.
In today’s episode, we share a whole series of encouraging facts, information, and most of all stories, which shine the light on the path to success and a better life. We also discuss some updates to the Benzo Free website and share a few other changes.
