Don't force too much Labear , there's no shame , feel your way into it naturally .
When I forced it threw my units further down the week ADE etc .
It's early days , you'll be fine .
I had to actually get out of the habit of AF's in my first weeks , white knuckling had left its mark on me .

I'm choosing stalwart as my 'word of the week.' It's great, isn't it? sounds like exactly what it is. . .I picture those guards in front of the castle. . .

Virgil - you are so incredibly stalwart. I'm so happy you are not giving up.

It's utterly unfair that you are not seeing more progress at this point but I know it will not elude you forever. Even though the Benzo group is experiencing progress, I've got to believe that the Benzos are indeed what are halting yours...keep tapering slowly.

Keep at it -- this will just be a small blip of time in your life after it starts working. Everyone here is rooting for you and LaBear.


H4O,

With reference to your first sentence, I put this down to having had an anxiety disorder for over 30 years. I would have caved in many years ago if it hadn't been for an inner conviction that I would overcome this disorder. So, as time has gone by, I've got stronger and I'm now more positive than ever that I know how to tackle my disorder.

Thanks also for your words of support - it all helps.

All the best,

V.

Here's another Churchillian--

"Never give in — never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."

Alcohol addiction is our enemy.

Hey Virgil, I'd like to thank YOU for being an inspiration to all of us. Your attitude and patience are amazing! I know it will pay off in the long run. Your story will end up being the one that keeps doubtful newcomers from giving up. You'll get there, and all of us will be cheering you on as you pass the finish line! :D
