Anyone on benzos?

That goes for food too...

I'll argue this one. A lot of what we think is "good" food is anything but. I have deprocessed my diet and lost over 170 lbs. If I try to eat stuff I did before (especially fast or processed foods) it makes me sick as hell, my body recognizes it for the poison it is now.

It truly is heaven. It's a shame that all the good stuff has side effects. That goes for food too...

It's prudent to be cautious, you never know you're addicted until its claws sink into you. Not that I have the experience, but I think that's how it feels

That is how I felt. The only time I have been alive when I was not worried and I wondered if other people feel like this all the time.

I do not believe I can become addicted a drugs. I have taken different ones over the years and it would not happen. The pharmacy once gave me a bottle of liquid morphine. I tried it but it hurt my stomach so bad I left it. I had the bottle for a few years and it seemed to leak some so I threw it out.

Another doctor gave me oxycodone and I hear about people having terrible problems with it, addiction, but it was the same. I had it for months and did not use it. When I needed it I finally did but did not think it did much. I had some dilaudid pills for years. I think five years before I used it up.

I bought alcohol when I turned 50 because I thought adults have alcohol in their homes. I tried drinking it but I got headaches and felt sick. A couple of times I did drink one ounce when I came home with anxiety from being out. It helped but not always and I tried to make myself remember to take it but I would forget for months.

I think it is genetic. Some people have a little of something and their brain reacts so strongly it changes their lives. My brain does not seem that way. So many bad things because of my brain, one good thing.

It does seem as though alcohol was a huge part of adult culture in the 1900s. I never liked it either, it's a shame that you have to drink sometimes to fit in

Oddly, benzos don't really make me feel all that incredible. They're definitely able to take the edge off before a procedure or at the dentist, I'm sure, but the last time I was prescribed them, they didn't really help me with much.

I'd still never want anything like that in my possession, though. Outside of an emergency or something like that, if I don’t at least try to face some things myself, I'll never grow.
