Thanks guys, the feelings of "normality" are feeling alot more closer to myself pre benzos so I guess that may be a sign of healing, but it's a slow, painful process.
My habit wasn't even that big, I used on average about 2x a week, occasionally 3x, 3 weeks out of each month for a few months, maybe 4 or 5, and seemed to endure that unscaved, maybe some rebound every once in a while... Took a two week break, then made a dumb decision to use everyday for a week... that week DESTROYED me, I sooo regret going on that mini binge.
It's like even though I wasn't fully dependant before the "binge" (I wasn't even taking them for a buzz), it ALL accumulated and smacked me at once after the binge. Sneaky bastards, those benzos
I wasn't even mentally addicted to them, though the relief from generalized anxiety is a pretty nice feeling. Just be careful, this goes for anyone abusing these. The shit sneaks up on you and even "minor" withdrawal sucks incredibly bad.
MK: It's bad, but I can only imagine what your going through. My habit is pretty miniscule. I doubt I'm in for a really long withdrawal, and while the bad waves bring some OCD, horrible anxiety, and agoraphobia... I'm still able to somehow function, so I'm not in too deep I guess, but it just gets exhausting after a while, I'm sure you feel the same. Anyways, hope things get better for you...sounds like your in a pretty tough spot.
