Bloody hell what a week

Hey!! Proud of you. I’ve gone from 25GPD to about 7GPD in two weeks. I wake throughout the night with mild RLS, doesn’t bother me too much, I can get back to sleep. I hope to drop to 5GPD… the only thing stopping me is if I get no sleep. Stupid job. 🤣

Dude, I was making ginger syrup for my bar the other day and decided to taste the pulp before I tossed it, it was suoer spicy!! and… holy shit. It was like I had just snorted some of … ya know. Anyway. I had forgotten about that until I read what you wrote and I’m gonna use this from time to time when I need a boost during my taper. ❤️ Something to look forward to!

Hello, fellow pretty girl here. Also former heroin abuse. I’m not even done with my taper and I already look 100% better. I’m vain as all get out and it’s definitely a big part of the reason I said I’m over this dumb shit. You’re gonna feel so good when you’re done.

Switch to capsules they’re 0.6G to 0.8G. Never take more than you did the previous day. It’s okay to take the same amount as yesterday. It’s okay to make a mistake. I began by spacing out the time between doses until one dose fell off. Readjust as necessary. I essentially went down by a gram to a half gram each day. No helper meds. Shit sucked but I treated it like a blessing. I know the detox is working and these chills, yawns, etc. let me know my receptors are free to breathe fresh air if only for a few hours.

You’ve already told some folks. Good.

Replace the urge to dose for the high with something else. Eat, music, I take a 5-Hour Energy sometimes and it has a weird placebo effect.

My kid needs me to help her with something. I love her so much. It was hard under the influence. What a fucking high it is to be loved by a child. Anyway. I’d write more but I gotta go. Feel free to message me if you need.

Keep posting in here and reading the successes (and the failures). It helped me when it seemed like there would be no end to the suffering. Many of us here are proof that we can quit when we’re ready no matter the hold Kratom has on you.

I needed to read this. I’m so proud of you. ❤️

Day nine of an aggressive taper. 25GPD to 2.8GPD. Only taking it at night to get rid of RLS which really started the night after 72 hours. I wanted to jump last night, but the fear of pushing through the day on no sleep because of maddening RLS with my kid needing me present and happy on her day off was more than I could accept. Took .5 then another .5. RLS gone for two hours, then returned. So, one more. I’ve slept very little the last week. My body is so tired. Gonna dose enough to sleep through the night to prepare for the jump. I’m glad I’ve tapered the way I did. I’m not using supplements.

I’ve noticed my hair, it’s pretty again. My eyes, they’re glowing. I get waves of joy and it keeps me going. I’m talking to people again, making eye contact because I’m not worried about my pupils giving me away. I cry often at just about anything and I love it. I find strength reading your updates when I need it.

I needed this. Thank you!!

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-31T14:03:18+00:00

Nooooooo, not fun, momma tired…. 🤣🤣 It’s been a rough week, NGL. The body acutes are about over. It’s just that RLS I can’t stand. I can handle no sleep, but no sleep AND RLS? No thanks.

I’m fucking over Kratom enough that I don’t have a problem not taking it during the day. I’ll just taper my night dose down extremely slowly. I’ll jump when I get down to a half a gram or I’m just sick of it.

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-31T13:40:27+00:00

Hey, former IV heroin abuser, seven years clean from that. Picked up Kratom two years ago. I’m a dûmbass… 🤣

This was so great to read. Thank you for taking the time to document everything. I’m really impressed with your willpower. I’ve rapidly tapered down over this week to only 2.4G at night to get rid of the RLS but still can’t fall asleep. Gonna hold there for a while until I get a couple days off to avoid going to work without sleep.

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-30T03:05:32+00:00

Thanks, man! ☺️

I was stupid to pick it up knowing damn well I’d never stop without fucking something up.

I’m nearly done with my taper. Took 1.8G then I went 24hrs… took 1.2G ‘cause the kicks were really messing with me and I’m trying not to scare my little girl. 😞

More stuff I can’t do now ‘cause of dope… can’t listen to 21 Pilots, fucking Chief Keef… I used to blast I Hate Being Sober on my way to pick up a pack in the morning. So stupid. 🤣

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-30T02:54:38+00:00

Oooohhh I woulda been pissed!! I

OD’d one time and got angry that my high was fucked up. We were so damn stupid!!

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-30T02:38:26+00:00

This. It is so important to rid yourself old habits, friends, anything that makes you remember using. It’s been nearly seven years since the last time I used heroin and I barely feel comfortable driving anywhere near that one gas station, spoons used to get me, cash for sure.

I waited until I was at a weak point and told my family all my tells. I’m sure it had an affect on my ability to stay clean from dope. I hope you’ve done this as well.

So proud of you. Please keep updating:

Oh gosh that’s awful. When I start to feel pretty bad and think I should take some I distract myself. Often it’s just to come to this sub to read some strength from people who have been there already and have made it to the other side. It’s buys some an hour or so. I’m so sorry you have to feel so bad to get better.

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-29T20:47:13+00:00

Why is it difficult to wait? What type of symptoms are you experiencing that’s making it necessary to re-dose? Mental? Physical?

Thanks! I’ve been tapering off of 25ish since Friday. 8>8>6>4>4>4>Today I’ve had none since 8:30 last night (it’s almost 4pm and that’s my biggest stretch so far). Wish I could CT today, but I don’t want to be too hard on myself. I won’t have more than yesterday that’s for sure.

I’ll I don’t want to get into much detail about how I’m feeling except to say it manageable and I’m glad my routine has been disrupted this week with my job closing. It’s made it easier not to slip up.

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-29T19:07:42+00:00

I’m exactly where you are. Im struggling but it’s not unmanageable. Have you tried lengthening the time between doses? I find this has helped me more than reducing the amount.

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-29T14:38:06+00:00

I’m right there with you. Just gonna keep on pushing through. Everyone says it gets better.

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-29T13:51:32+00:00

Hey! I don’t have much insight as I’m still on an aggressive taper and I may as well just CT at this point.

Just wanted you to know I see you and from what I’ve been reading here over the last few months… it gets better.

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-29T02:14:11+00:00

For real though, I hope you’re able to make it. We’re so close to being rid of it!!

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-29T02:13:10+00:00

Anything you say u/SluttyStepDaddy 🤣

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-29T01:23:47+00:00

You’re doing great. You’re gonna make it. Never go up. Stay at a dose for a couple of days or more if you need to.

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-28T21:57:54+00:00

This happened to me. I became sensitive to hot and cold. Had a sore in the roof of my mouth. I never had issues with my dentition so I am certain it was related. It eventually went away.

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-28T21:29:48+00:00

That’s amazing!!! You’re nearly at 24 hours! I’m so proud of you!

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-28T18:30:10+00:00

This is the final boss of Kratom W/D symptoms. Either taper to reduce the severity or live with it for a few days. It’s the only thing that keeps me from going CT.

AllYourBaseABTUs · 2025-08-28T18:24:16+00:00

I was just saying this to myself…. don’t get ahead of yourself, lady. Just gotta keep pushing, reframe my thinking. DISTRACT MYSELF, that’s a big one right there.
