Sophia Gains Her Life Back

[WebDevElijah]

In acknowledgement of Benzodiazepine Awareness Day I wanted to share some hope with all of you who are still tapering. DO NOT GIVE UP!

 

I am now 15 months benzo free. In the last 4 months I have flown to Northern California to visit with my family which was amazing. I went fishing in Mexico. I flew to Miami to attend a healing seminar and I am planning to go to my nephew's wedding in Hawaii this September. I'm beyond grateful to have healed to such a degree that I'm able to do all these things.

 

Healing was one of the most challenging and loneliest seasons of my life. No one except this group could understand the agony of tapering off a toxic drug.

 

What gave me hope and got me through was focusing on ALL the things I would do once I healed....traveling to Paris, walking my dog, getting in the best health and shape of my life, laughing with friends again. If truth be told, i envisioned creating an entirely new life if I got my life back and was given a second chance.

 

So what do you envision YOU WILL DO when you finish your taper? Share it on this post. Hold that vision daily!

 

I am still on the path of healing completely from this drug but I eventually plan to use this experience for a greater good. Perhaps helping bring a greater awareness, so that others don't have to suffer like we did. I plan to give a Ted Talk and expose the toxicity of western pharmaceutical medicine. This is what keeps me going. Was it easy...hell no. There are days I wanted to curl up in a ball and die BUT my faith, a vision for my future and the will to live gave me the endurance to get to the end! You will too.

 

One final word of encouragement where you place your attention is where your energy flows! So if you focus on fear, your symptoms and reading all the posts of suffering in this group...your body will respond accordingly. Read as many posts about those who have healed and try to skip the others (unless you can help them) because our bodies follow our minds. Have your mind focus on those who have healed and believe it's possible for you.

 

Continuing to champion you all on!
