  • Feels more like an audio diary

    I was really hopeful this podcast could provide help but lately it seems to be mostly rambling stories that feel like diary entries rather than helpful advice. I don’t really need to know about the host’s moderate political views or what’s on his schedule, I want to hear practical tips for dealing with withdrawal.

  • Grateful

    Thank you for making this podcast. It validates what I went through coming off of Klonopin. I had soooo many PCP doctors tell me my withdrawal symptoms were just in my head. It’s also helpful for my spouse who is about to embark on his own journey to kick Ativan. Keep up the good work!

  • My nightlight in the darkness

    D is an absolute treasure. You sensitivity and compassion have provided me with the support I need while working through the withdrawals associated with Benzo recovery. I’m still working through your vast amount of episodes. I dread the day that I’m fully caught up and have to wait for new episodes.
