Have faith that it will get better. 
The early months of recovery can be up and down, but steadily you should see improvement. 
Hang in there! This too shall pass!

You are right it takes very little time to build tolerance to benzos.

64 days....Overcame some anxiety today by going out with the wife to a mall about 45 mins drive.....With my anxiety, Im a little apprehensive about long car trips and visits across town for little reasons other than necessity...I have driving anxiety, a bit of agoraphobia, and some stress that causes paws driven anxiety to rise...
Anyway we made it there but as I walked around the mall I immediately wanted to go home....The further we got from the car, the more anxious I got..,but I carried on till eventually the anxiety subsided....
The anxiety did come on n off but the longer we stayed the less anxious I became...I didn’t want to spoil the trip for the others in my family so I bit the bullet whenever the anxiety hit....
Four hours later we’re finally headed home after a long day (from what I consider long) of shopping, walking, waiting, and catastrophic thinking what if’s going through my head the whole time...
The closer we got to home...The calmer I became...I’m becoming convinced that I’m healing in recovery but I’ve still got a ways to go....I think the next time I’ll suggest a place further from home....baby steps to expose myself to the anxiety producing events and places that will only make me more confident.
Along with the continued diet and exercise with weight loss I can only get better...again...baby steps...
Just taking it out here....
Thanks again for reading
