Whether you're currently tapering, or you've come off of benzos completely, the difficult emotional landscape that accompanies your healing journey can be brutal. I know because I've been there many times. A great lesson I've learned is to let go and not fight it anymore. The energy that is released through letting go is profound and powerful!

I read your posts, Bob! 😂
Agree with your Comment and feel very grateful for Dan and this new Community of loving support ( finally!). ❤
The good news is, feelings and thoughts and states of mind are Temporary.
The joy and the woe. 🙏🏻
Agree with Dan about being hard on Ourselves…healing isn’t linear; we need to intentionally be kind and forgiving and patient with our Minds, bodies and Spirits. ❤
Thanks Donna
Some love coming your way as well.

Thank you SO much 🙏♥️ you are only human and you are allowed to be set back like all of us, - and thank you, thank you, thank you for being honest 🙏🙏🙏. And share how you handle the pain. I really also think that those big changes in life is terrible for the damaged nervous system!!! You are healing while you help others and "survive" life ❤ It is so beautiful. Even though it is SO rough. Thank you for sharing your journey. I really wish you the best. I also think you are healing through these videos. Thank you🙏♥️. Oh I just realized that this video is one year old 😁 Thank you anyway ❤.

Right! We are fortunate to be alive.
Yes, so literally true.
I was very moved by this post. Your true heart & good intentions are very evident. Although you continue to struggle emotionally you still reach out to help others. THAT is GRACE. I wish you and your dear family many blessings this holiday season!! 💓
Thank you.❤️🙏🏻
We love you too Dan and thank you🙏🏼❤️
❤️❤️
I hope you’re better now a year later. I’ve been stuck in a dark hole for long time. Sometimes wonder if slow taper is the way to go because I want to die every day & severe depression and don’t know how to get out. I have yet to feel better but I’m only at 2.7mg Klonopin from 4mg. Not even half way and not functioning and zero joy. I need a break. I can’t live like this. It’s torture
I just love you dawg!! Amazing person!!
@@Polecat-qz5om ✌🏻🙂
I am sure you know this Dan, but you are not alone as well. You have helped me so immensely that I can never repay you and just so you know you are appreciated. You inspire me to be the best person I can be, and I completely relate with you. You have allowed me a place to open up, stop bottling things inside me, be vulnerable, learn by putting myself out there and understand that I am not the only one in pain. I would not be healing properly if I didn't find your channel. I had to go inside me and confront my demons while in benzo withdrawal but what I have learned so far is the fear/depression is just an illusion. I used to isolate really bad in this process over the years and it nearly killed me. I could just journal to myself, but it doesn't feel as powerful as putting my feelings/thoughts out there. It seems to take the power of those bad feelings inside away and probably feels the same for you speaking about your struggles. I think it is really cool what you are doing, and I have your back anytime my man. The fact that you are there for me during this process. I mean seriously this is some next level stuff. It almost feels like going into combat with a friend and in that respect, you have a friend for life. ✊
You do so much for me and a ton of other people as well. You have some love coming your way bro. Who else would read my stupid posts that I have probably been repeating a million times LOL..
Thank you
Bob Bobarino
I always read your posts Bob... I find hope in them every time🙏🏼❤️
@@lidiyas7153 Thank you Lidiya
That is really kind I appreciate that. It makes me feel good to know that I might be helping someone else. I still get super sensitive sometimes typing in here, but it helps me.
Much Love
Bob Bobarino
@@bobbobarino6213 And keep typing🌸
Thanks Ben Bobarino- you’re an inspiration to me and others here.
@@philosophicalfishing I am watching your video again multiple times this morning and it is amazing how much I can understand what you are saying. I also remember a time when I was young around 10 and I would say once I become happy success follows. I was sad because of what I was seeing in my environment. Thank you for sharing the struggles you still have and how you manage them. I believe this process with your guidance is teaching me emotional intelligence. That might be a good topic. You definitely have emotional intelligence Dan, or you would not have made it to the other side. Get this my girlfriend and I are going over to my parents today to watch a boat parade with Christmas lights. I could never go over to see them without benzos because it used to be my triggers. I often still wonder who I am and who I will become after this insane journey. I have also been noticing that I am starting to smile again. You are the inspiration Dan I am just along for the ride and guidance. I am soaking up anything and everything I can to keep bettering myself and stay benzo free. Something cool I am focusing on is being able to regulate my own happiness. I was fishing with my Dad about a month ago and a boat next to us was drinking. They offered me a beer and I thought about it and said that I don't need one. The guys on the boat all said man I wish they could be like me. It was because I was enjoying fishing without beer, I was happy, and they could see it. It is important for me to be happy in a way that no drug or alcohol can touch. I have had some friends that were heroin addicts and when they were clean were miserable. They all said life is so boring and sad without drugs. I bet they are not sober anymore. I am learning that life has so much more to offer than any benzo or drug. I think the term I was thinking about was Dry Drunk? I am understanding that nobody can control my emotions or what I feel. I used to try and please everyone else but myself and a lot of times people would take advantage of that and or think I was weak at the same time. Wow Dan no wonder I am typing so much I have a ton of things I am working on.
I hope you and your family have a great weekend!!! (You deserve it man)
Ben Bobarino LOL (I like how you change the name from time to time its funny)
I feel like my soul is being tormented
I remember how that feels, Katrina and it’s almost beyond Words. Unless you are or have Been. 🙏🏻
Please feel the strength, patience, love and hugs I am sending you.
You can endure-you are enduring-we are stronger than we can even Imagine and this Experience changes us.
For the Better, I promise, ultimately-as much as that’s almost impossible to believe at this moment in time. Birthed of this trauma,
We become more of who we are born inherently: beautiful Buddha-nature: excactly as intended and perfectly imperfect. Let’s embrace Us and not forsake ourselves this time.
One breath, one step. Never alone. ❤️
@@donna6165 thank you 🙏🏻 💜
I understand what you are going thru as I am still in it myself. You are not alone. It just a chemical thing and our brains rewiring. Sometimes I might say to myself I am so lucky to have my soul being tormented and it takes the power away from it.
Much Love
Bob Bobarino
I'm sorry. I feel that same. And suffer very bad brain lock, not understanding normal things and in constant fight or flight state and panic and am isolated a lot because I tell my hell all the time to my loved ones and feel like I'm in a different reality from other people. Before was prescriped a big amount of benzo I was living a healthy active social life. Now I can't be with anybody. Third time to try to get off of this drug. This time with Ashton manual. Can't do much. I'm not sure if I asked you but did you have problems with brain function? All the best.
@@lauriina85 Hi I am not sure if you are asking me or not but I was also telling my loved one's what's going on as well all the time, but they are not going to understand. I C/T a bit over 5 months ago. First few months was intense to put it mildly but once I found this community I started improving. I type my heart out in here even if I don't know what I am talking about or I repeat myself like crazy. Nobody judges you and they understand what you are going thru. I struggled with brain function big time, but it is starting to turn around and I can see the light somewhat LOL. Things are getting better but I have had to put in the work like crazy. I equate it to something like learning to play tennis for the first time and you suck for a while but if you learn it backwards and forwards and put the time in you start to play better and better. Things I am doing that are helping, following Dan's advice, meditating, practicing gratitude, patience, and watching Dan's videos like a madman trying to soak up any information to help. You are not alone.
Bob Bobarino
God the created of the universe and everything in it. Get to know him by reading the Bible. Your an inspiration continue the good fight!
Hey Dan, I found you talking about just sitting with your depression/feelings/life and watching them come and go to be helpful, its like taking the approach of meditation and using in one's day to day life. Thanks.
Yes, allowing the feelings to move right through me, feeling it while it’s here, and accepting rather than fighting it. If you fight it, you’re stuck with it.
Thanks for sharing this 🤍
Hi Dan....We love you buddy. You are on elf the only people on youtube that comforts me in this excruciating taper of valium. It is better than 3 hour interdose withdrawals I had while tapering xanax (which I was on for 26 years), but valium is a bitch of it's own to taper. In many ways I envy that you did not have to taper, but I know you went through your own special hell. I also was addicted to opioids, and they were nothing compared to coming off benzos. Gabapentin was a little hard for me to taper also. I still get discouraged knowing I cannot just stop taking the valium..I despise it. It definitely makes me feel worse after I take it most days..a paradoxical reaction now.
I am trying to figure out where to land physically after I'm done tapering, North Carolina is in the mix. I also lived in Florida and hated the weather.
Where (you can privately email me if you are comfortable with that) in general is a good place to look in North Carolina to live..it has to have a good support network. I'm a recovering addict and need my recovery family. Sending you love and light my brother.
I admire people like you(who are also addicts like me) and have the courage and strength to taper. You’re a rockstar in my eyes. I can only imagine from my own experiences with benzos what it must be like. If you go over to my instagram located in the description box, you can message me there and we can talk more in depth about NC, recovery and such. I’ve found good recovery and meetings where I’m at and I’m still just getting started as I’ve only been here less than 6 months. I’d be happy to share as much as I can about it with you.
@@philosophicalfishing Thank you for replying and "seeing" me.
it's a good video 😄 thankyou very much for making it! 😘
It’s my honor. ❤️🩹
I got paralysed yesterday on my left side by cold turkey these poison
