And yes there is some willpower needed in tapering but it can be done. It is NOT hell on earth for everyone and I want newcomers to know this.

I used the benzos too. Have never had a problem abusing them. Only take 1/4 to 1 tablet a day and mostly just at bedtime to help me sleep. I have CT in the past and I was scared to death of doing that again so made myself a plan and stuck with it until I was off. No fuss, no muss.
