Minfulness for prescribed diazepam addict

Post here if you are just starting out with your mindfulness practice. Mindfulness is a really difficult concept to get your head around at first, and it might be that you would benefit from some help from others.

After 7 months on diazepam (6mg per day) to treat me for codeine painkiller withdrawal, I've become addicted, moderately depressed and anxious, and unable to withdraw so far without horrific side effects. I've just bought The Mindfulness Way Through Depression (Williams et al) and have ordered the workbook. My local tutor is skeptical about this working without coming off the diazepam first. Do you think mindfulness can help me cope even though I stay on the diazepam?
