On June 9th, I joined Angela Peacock, of APeacock Consulting, for a Facebook Live event. It was a true delight and we discussed so many different topics related to benzodiazepines, psychiatric medication, recovery, BIND, coaching, anxiety, support, and much, much more.
The video is now available on Angie's YouTube channel and you can view it below. I hope you'll check it out, and thanks to Angie for inviting me to be a guest on her channel.

Background
D E Foster ("D") is founder of the support site Easing Anxiety, host of The Benzo Free Podcast, and co-chair and founding member of the Benzodiazepine Action Work Group at the Colorado Consortium for Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention. He is a published author on multiple research papers and a global advocate for anxiety and benzodiazepine awareness, education, and support.
In 2002, D was prescribed clonazepam (Klonopin) by his primary care physician and he took the medication for 12 years without warning. His withdrawal experience was extreme and became the foundation for his book, Benzo Free: The World of Anti-Anxiety Drugs and the Reality of Withdrawal. D is now eight-years benzo-free, still deals with the lingering effects of BIND (benzodiazepine-induced neurological dysfunction), and spends most of his time working in the benzo community.
