Yes, "eyes on the prize" but don't forget that the most important parts of the prize are the moments you're in. One day at a time, one moment at a time. Each day is a prize. I have found that breaking it into days has helped me better deal with the moments. Continued good wishes...

Hey Shane! So glad that you were able to find a good doctor. I hope he specializes in addiction. Some are truly intelligent, and some seem as dumb as a box of rocks. Anyway, it sounds like this one is very understanding. Hang in there. There will be some rough days. I experienced every single withdrawal that was listed on Benzobuddies.org. It was the worst thing that I have had to go through in my whole life. In 2018 I lost my mom and 6 months later, my black lab (cadaver dog) died. Little did I know that the worst was yet to come (benzo tolerance 3 months later.) After that, came Covid, and I was going through a nightmare of withdrawals while sick with Covid. I prayed a lot! I didn't want any help from doctors, since I didn't trust them or anyone else. When the veil came off of my eyes, I was able to soul search and realize how I got addicted in the first place--mind opening experience for sure! I could reach into my past and it was like I was there all over again. Being sober made my senses so much clearer and I was able to piece together the puzzle. I have peace now but I'm still learning. Keep pressing on and keep the faith. We stay strong by hanging in there together. Keep us posted.
