Welcome to the post benzo world from a former booze and benzo hound.
There is life after benzos. I hope you are getting quality withdrawal information from the prescribing psychiatrist and that the MD also lends some help.
I wouldn't get too caught up in the failure to identify with a meth, crack or heroin addict in a NA meeting. It's all really the same beast, just with different colored fir and larger fangs.
