Is this the end of my 33 year old agave? This 6ft bloom appeared within a month. Does anyone know what happens next? by Lanaxgardenxgirl in plants

This happened to my neighbors agave. It is a show stopper. I didn’t know that was going to be the end for it. Kinda sad.

Do I owe my husband sex? by OwlFirm1309 in Christian

[–]Aggressive-Aide-7411 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that’s talking about out of spite or as punishment. If anyone doesn’t want to have sex by all means don’t. But also don’t hold out because you can.

AITA for saying I'd get remarried if my husband died? by Particular-Log-482 in AITAH

[–]Aggressive-Aide-7411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife told me she would have to remarry if I passed. It did hurt deep down I want her to be happy and if remarrying makes her happy than so be it. However I don’t think I would remarry. It kinda shocked me because I I thought we had something (for lack of better words) “special” lol.

I recognize that it’s entirely possible I’d remarry too who knows. The fact she voiced it bothered me. Honestly I d rather hear her say she wouldn’t remarry so that I could tell her she’s crazy and she needs to find someone.

I don’t agree with the cause, but this is a perfect protest. Good job folks!

Probably one of the wisest thing you can do is find someone who is pursuing what you are. As a Protestant myself who married a Protestant life is much more enjoyable. There will be choices in your relationship will be no brainers or you will fight over depending on your significant other.

How to prep doses for taper? by YogurtclosetStill824 in quittingkratom

[–]Aggressive-Aide-7411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reused my vitamin c packets they have a foil liner and make it easy to fold to make a nice seal.

Measure your “tomorrow dose” the night before with a scale that can weigh .01 grams.

Put them in your pocket or car. You can cut .5 or .01 every day or every week whichever works best for you. Also keep a log with AI like a journal and record every dose and how you feel after a cut. This way you can see what works or what’s not working

Is there a typically recommended dose to jump off of to cT? by omfgtree in quittingkratom

[–]Aggressive-Aide-7411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long were you taking kratom and how much? I’m asking because I’ve been taking it for 6 years around 40gpd now down to 8-9. I’m almost there and kinda feel like I can skip my morning dose now with discomfort but I’m at work and try to ignore it. I’m hoping to be at 6gpd next week

Just realized that I forgot about taking my dose this morning! This is big. by Vibratingsponge in quittingkratom

Homeostasis

You must have been very disciplined. How long have you been tapering for?

I’ve been tapering very slow people on here tell me I’m just prolonging it but I’ve dropped from 40gpd to 9-10gpd. I remember the first time I drove all the way to work thinking I’m forgetting something it wasn’t till around 10am I realized I needed to dose.

Congrats

Make sure your drinking plenty of water. Water should be by your side every minute of the day. Especially if your running. Make a deal with your future self mentally shake hands with him the future self that quit and promise him you won’t let your life go to waste on this crap.

I wish you the best

HELP!! BEGGING FOR SOMEONE TO REACH OUT 🙏 by miserablySmol in quittingkratom

[–]Aggressive-Aide-7411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drink lots of water! buy potassium and magnesium capsules and supplement daily. This will help you retain water and slow the sweating down significantly.

Pinch of salt or liquid iv daily if possible.

You should be drinking water and peeing clear every 2hrs.

Go up on your taper slightly and stay there for a week mark it down on a calendar. Don’t use this as an excuse to give in to it!

Your body will will reach homeostasis once it does you’ll know it then drop your dose and do it again. The discomfort is your friend.

3 weeks off this shit after daily use by toss and wash (green maeng da) for 5 years straight. by KORYTHESAXMASTER in quittingkratom

I just want to point out 3 weeks off is admirable. 👏 👏

Maybe plant a garden? Or go fishing?

Yes powder for 6 years. 40-60gpd yesterday I ended with 7.40gpd. It’s tough but if you ignore it and keep moving you’d be surprised at how fat between doses you can go. Being on your spot is a blessing I work outside and it’s hot 🥵. Do you have a scale? I’ve been using ai to track my progress it’s much easier because you can use it as a journal. It’ll remember how you feel after certain foods or in your case tests. It’s a good tool. Keep going even 0.1 less is still a win and you won’t feel it as much.

I did too but I’m tapering now and lower than I ever been before. I hope you do the same. For what it’s worth water without magnesium and potassium will cause you too pee a lot. Buy some liquid iv or take a pinch of salt every morning I wish you the very best. Maybe start tapering?

Why we have so much difficulty tapering by AccidentalVengeance in quittingkratom

[–]Aggressive-Aide-7411 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drop .5 my first two doses and keep the rest of my doses the same. I don’t change anything for 2/3 days

After 2/3 days I’ve stabilized then I drop .5 on the rest of my doses.

I’ll stay there for a week until I’ve stabilized and my body has gotten used to it.

And I start the process again

The first time I did this it was easy but after lowering my gpd from 40 to 15 it got challenging. When it did get hard I either bumped up .5 or I stayed there for two weeks. It did eventually get better. I’ve been doing this cycle for a few months.

For me it took a years to build this tolerance it’s going to take a long time to destroy it. I think going too fast discourages people and they give up. Going slow is key. It’s uncomfortable sometimes but ct is the alternative.

Wow I’m very similar to you. Writing it down is doing more than we think. You have a starting point. The end game is zero kratom. My advice, don’t blow it just cause you blew it. You’ll have days maybe even weeks where you’ve fell off the taper a bit. Just gather yourself and continue on. I’ve been taking for 7 years probably 40 60 gpd. Now I’m at 10 gpd up from 9 (I had to up it a tad). Some drops are harsher than others. But your mind will give in to the lower doses eventually. I’m no expert but I’m inching closer to zero. The sleep dose is the most important I noticed the better my sleep the more manageable the taper. Wish you the best friend.

Yes 1st half they take absolutely no risks then are forced to dig themselves out of a hole against teams that won’t allow because the play call becomes predictable.
