As someone who escaped the benzo trap, I feel like I'm allowed to make this joke. Addiction is a disease and we should only make fun of it when it happens to sanctimonious reactionary douchebags.

    One of my friends finally, a couple years ago, kicked their benzo habit. Shit was fucking scary. We'd hang out for entire days and he wouldn't remember it.

      Yeah, I have a good friend and lover who's been on klonipin daily for 5 years as a treatment for bipolar one. I'll tell her stories three or four times and she won't remember. Turns out shutting down your amygdala might not be a great idea.
