Subject: Here we go again...

Hi Everyone:

You know how they say that "one bad apple...", well, here we go with a "bad apple" again. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but if you are not dealing with a benzo related problem to begin with, then why would you want to be a member of the benzo group? Regarding blocking individual emails from a certain party, virtually every email program has this option... As for this certain individual, it sounds like she/he? has her own problems to deal with, that probably will well eclipse ours...

On to other thoughts: I was studying alternate cancer therapies yesterday for the wife of one of Stan's clients...some very interesting therapies and theories... But, most of all, it made me realize that no matter how awful what we are going through/have gone through is...there are many people out there with worse problems. Sure put things in perspective once again for me! After all, we do get BETTER!

That is the "bright side" of this whole mess. And, I can personally say that I consider myself 99.9% better...and, if you think about the quantity of Klonipin I was on (10 mg) over 7 years...and quit cold turkey...you can heal as well. Just give it time, and do what you must to take care of yourself nutritionally, as Cindy has so often said. And, most importantly, having faith in the Lord got me through the whole mess.

You are all in my prayers. Love, Carol
