How Tempting/Addictive are Benzos to You?

[RecoveringDude]

How addictive do you consider Benzos? As a 24/7 anxious person, benzos are like heroin to me, nothing compares and if I had a supply I would probably be doing them 24/7, I love them, they're my favorite drug and make me feel like a normal person, talking smack to people on them is super fun, everything is so nice, it's a care-free drug that doesn't relate to anything in life, even sex.

Not addictive in my experience. Never have the temptation to take besides stimulant comedowns. I set a rule for myself, 2-3 times a week max. Imo its not fun just by itself when u chilling at home. For me benzos are only fun in certain social situations or combined with something else

like what kind of social situations?

Hmm sorry if any of this doesnt make sense cuz im super stoned rn lol. Hmm basically beznos would help in any social situation for me. I find it especially helpful for meeting new people and going on first dates. Also if you're shy around certain people it certainly helps. Also I don't think im dependent on it for those kinds of things and only use it occasionally

I'm pretty much in total agreement with you. Only reason I don't have a physical dependence these days is I only get 60 a month and they only go so far. If I had unlimited access I'd probably be dead.

While I don't really find them euphoric or even recreational at all, I simply can't get enough of the freedom they offer. Like you said, I feel "normal." Unburdened, free, and therefore everything else opens up for me. I get ideas I normally don't, enjoy doing everyday things I otherwise wouldn't, become more creative, etc..
