benzo withdrawal update

hello all,
i posted here at the beginning of January,thanks to everyone who replied or read my post,i finished my benzo taper at an outpatient clinic,on dec 23rd,4 times in January i had to take 0.25 mg of klonopin,i used it only she when the withdrawals seemed unbearable,its been over a month since i took a benzo,and 4 months since I cold turkeyed off oxycodene,i gottta say I'm getting better and better everyday,my energy levels are back to normal,i know i have plenty more healing to do,but compared to how i was I'm happy with my recovery so far,each day that passes I'm getting better and better,last night i was out for dinner with friends,and it was so nice to have the ability to speak or even look another person in the eye,its not my first detox,but i sure hope this will be my last,thanks all have a nice weekend
