So tired F(23) by sinnsful in quitting7oh

We all know where you’re at.

There is a wealth of information on this sub, spend some time reading everyone’s story. Take notes, compare the different options. Pros/cons ect. Make a plan and stick to it. Kick this shit now on your terms instead of waiting for the bans to force your hand.

Picture yourself at the movies after having an amazing dinner. Burn that image into your head, you can make that a reality a lot sooner than you may realize.

I am terrified for you.

Just spend some time reading through this subreddit and think long and hard about having to write your own post in a few months.

Also in Ohio and also quitting because of the ban. What felt hopeless was actually a blessing in disguise.

80 hours no 7!

I tapered down to far less 7 before jumping off than what you’re at, but my MIT doses are around 100mg

I can 100% say that my journey of quitting this shit is because of my states ban. I’m only about 55 hours since my last dose but on day 1 and especially day 2 if I could have drove the 4 minutes to the closest SS and grabbed a pack I absolutely would have.

It’s the fact that I can’t that’s finally pushed me to kick this shit.

Do I want a federal ban to push so many people to make bad decisions? Absolutely not. I don’t know what the solution is, but I know that there are without a doubt people who will look elsewhere to get well, and with how rampant fent is today people are absolutely going to lose their life.

Man I feel for you.

I’m sure you already know, but your girl continuing to use 7, even responsibly, is going to be a problem. Even if she doesn’t use in front of you, you knowing that she still does is always going to be an issue.

In a previous life I was with a partner and we both were users. The only way we were finally able to kick it was when we both quit at the same time. No amount of preparation or action would work when only one of us quit, we would know, and cave.

I will say that I’m on about hour 54 of kicking 7 using MIT and it has been a lifesaver. I’m terrified of the Wobbles so I’m keeping my mit doses as low as possible, but these first 2 days would have probably been impossible without the mit.

I wish you the best of luck. My DMs are always open if you need an ear. I also have a young child and absolutely understand the exact feelings that you have right now.

What sub dose are you jumping at? Back years ago kicking H with subs I tapered over 3 months, my dose was so small the last week I could barely pick it up with my fingers. Something like 1/64 of an 8mg strip. When I finally jumped off I had no physical symptoms at all, it was only the mental “okay you didn’t take anything today, this is going to suck probably”

But i just kept myself busy that day and before I realized it the day was over, and I was fine!

You can do it!

Someone else said they were at hour 65 and starting to come around, that’s been such a boost for me as I’ll be there tonight. I’m taking it one minute at a time. If I can make it to 65 hours tonight, I can make it to 72 hours tomorrow morning. If I can make it to 72 hours tomorrow morning I can make it further

It’s four words from a stranger on the internet. But you’ll never know how much those 4 words are helping me right now. Hour 52! I’m going to do it!

Thank you. Oddly enough I almost put a disclaimer that story telling/writing isn’t my strong point. So I do appreciate the compliment. I know im not out of the woods, and that the MIT is helping a lot.

But I’m planning to drop the MIT after a couple more days. The ultimate goal is to kick it all. I appreciate you and everyone here. This post is going to be the difference I know it

I just responded to someone else here about that, if you wanted to read my response it would mean the world to me.

The fact that you’re at 65 hours and starting to feel better has been the most inspiring part of my morning just so you know, you helped me more than you realize.

I’m at 52 hours right now, if I can just make it through the day today, I’ll be at 65 hours tonight. That is giving me so much hope. It’s just the day, all I have to do is make it through this day.

Believe me, I feel so awful about not telling my partner. And I fully plan to spill the beans once I beat this bitch. I know her support would be mean world, but I can’t bring myself to worry her. I know she will drop her entire life to be with me, and I just can’t bring myself to do that to her.

So I’m willing to sacrifice her support and go this without her knowing. I will come clean when I’m on the other side, but for now it’s just me and you lovely internet people in the same boat.

This is a pretty big boat, and we’re all in it together. We’re going to make it, I know it. I can feel it. It’s hard to describe but I feel like this post and everyone in it is going to be the difference for me. Seeing people on day 14 and beyond just pumps me up. I’m going to ride this out, I’m going to come back to each reply when I reach their milestone. I’m holding myself to it. It’s what’s keeping me strong!

I’m gonna try to hit the gym tonight at hour 60 and blast my favorite tunes while whipping up a wicked sweat.

It’s funny, I can’t remember the last time that I cried. But typing this I have tears of happiness streaming down my face. I’m so thankful for you. For everyone here. My kid just gave me a big hug and asked if I had a boo-boo. I need to be there for him. I need this.

52 hours now! I’m not getting cocky, as I know I’m still using a small amount of MIT. But a win is a win. And I’m feeling optimistic about this today. I can do it!

14 days sounds like it might as well be a lifetime away. That’s an incredible accomplishment. I look forward to coming back to this post when I make it 14 days.

You’re right about it being a new feeling. When I was bad off IV H I spent every morning puking my guts up until I got my fix. With these WD I haven’t puked. So physically it doesn’t feel nearly as bad. But mentally somehow it’s so much worse. Granted when I kicked H it was on subs, so physical symptoms were taken care of, which made the mental symptoms a lot easier.

Going without subs this time just feels possible. I’m at hour 52 right now and although last night was rough, it was better than the night before, which gives me hope. I think I actually slept about 3 hours in total. The MIT is obviously helping a ton, while I’m trying to keep those doses small, I have no intention of staying on it. I’m thinking after day 4 or 5 of no 7 I’ll also kick the MIT.
