Benzo Warrior Weekly Online Support / Withdrawal Meetings

Please join the Benzo Warrior Community on Facebook to find out how to attend ONLINE peer support meetings and when they are to be held. All those in varying stages of benzodiazepine withdrawal and recovery are welcome.

These will be run once a week (90-120 mins) so we can connect with each other in a new supportive way.

The purpose is threefold:

Coaching * Connection * Coping

Once you join the Benzo Warrior Community please check the groups ANNOUNCEMENTS for the information you need to join the online meetings.

WHAT WILL THE ROUND TABLE INCLUDE?

(This is not an exhaustive list, we have plenty to talk about!)

• Meet and Greets to get to know each other.

• Check ins (meds, tapering, symptoms, withdrawal, challenges etc).

• Themes/topics relevant to BWS.

• Guest speakers, coaches.

• Practicing coping skills e.g Breathing exercises, mindfulness.

• The Ashton Manual.

• Diet and Nutrition (for example).

• No Agenda – loose format allowing free discussion.

• And more!

HOW TO ATTEND:

• The meetings will be run via ZOOM. Zoom is a meeting tool that gives both audio and video. You are able to attend and have your video off if you prefer.

• Download the Zoom app to your phone if you intend to dial in that way (it is free).

• Your Zoom name must be the same as your Facebook Name or we can’t grant you entry to the Round Table.

• Instructions will be given at the start of each Round Table to help new people get started with the Zoom interface (it is easy to use).
