It works like a dream. If you are tense or anxious, just
swallow one of these little suckers and, in less than 20
minutes, your tension and anxiety will evaporate. Many
people use it to get a good night’s sleep.

It would be great if you could use this pill on a truly “as
needed” basis. But, in my case, after years of using it, it
got away from me. I became dependant on this drug. For a
long time, it helped me get through my day.

Every day.

I guess, because of that, you could consider me a weak
person. I wouldn’t argue with you about this. But, you
should know this “innocent” little pill is now considered by
many experts to be the biggest drug problem in the world.
It seems to have gotten the best of thousands (make that
hundreds of thousands) of other “weak” people. It has
eclipsed heroin, cocaine and even methamphetamine as the
world’s major, most dangerous drug.

Let me help you understand why this is so... and... let me
explain what I mean when I say I and countless other people
come to be “dependent” on this drug. It’s not just that
people start to pop one of these little pills when they
become tense, anxious or have a hard time getting to sleep.

No. The real problem comes when you decide to stop
using this drug. Many people (like me) decide, “Hey, this
is getting the best of me. I’m going to deal with my
problems without any kind of chemical help.” And then, they
flush their supply of this drug down the toilet.
