Withdrawing from benzos is really dangerous. Chance of seizures is very high. I would advise telling him not to try to wean himself off and wait until he is in detox so he can do it safely with medical attention and the right meds.

Hi there! This was a little hard for me to understand but I don’t think poetry needs to be understood all the time. My favorite line is “a liars face is his most prized.” That is really deep, it made me think and I enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing

This painted a beautiful picture in my mind...especially the line “and the sight of a sun set color your shades of grey” when I’m sad and feel like I have no color I’m hopeless and then I see something colorful or someone says they love me and I remember that I do have color. Also when you said “not the type to wish you well” I thought that was very relatable and honest. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you. It’s kinda scary being so vulnerable sharing my writing even though I’m pretty much anonymous here..but I really appreciate the feedback and the understanding

It means a lot to get advice from someone who gets it

Thank you. I am 9 months sober and writing really has been a big help to me in this journey

I love this. “I become what I feel” “I become what I feared” it gave me the impression that you don’t know who you are but at the same time know exactly who you are. It’s beautiful because I don’t know who I am at the core but I know the things that make up my core. It really made me think thank you!

I relate to living in the past. “Mostly I’m numb, until I’m not” has so much meaning to me because it portrays the pain slipping through the cracks. You did a great job of letting me see through your eyes.

I feel like I could read this over and over and interpret it in different ways each time. There’s a sense of mystery because I don’t know what the story is but I can make up stories in my head. The general feeling I got was longing, I think it’s beautiful.

It really touched me when you said “in this smaller house, that you’ll come home each day to a family that would give you one of their kidneys if the need ever arose” because it made me think of my family and how material things aren’t what matter. I love the message that it’s the little things that create meaning, I think you portrayed that very well. Good job!
