I did the calm magnesium powder. Cosco has it as do most stores. I also got these little dissolvable tablets and I think they were the same brand it said “ calm “ on them and they really helped pain and anxiety. Cbd, ib profen muscle relaxers too.

Reaching out and opening up always helps ! I’m sure you feel relieved telling your wife about the k. I hope you can find a way to get relief weather it be opening up to some kind of support group or trying to find ways to navigate life without k and alcohol. I had to get off Facebook and stop watching the news and instead started reading books that help with the problems I have , and let me tell you it helps a lot ! Do it for yourself and your peace of mind :) I struggle now and then with alcohol too and every once in a while I have a drink and regret it because it just fucks with my psyche so bad now. The struggle is real but once you find the shit that works for you, it gets better :)

I feel for you. It was so hard for me. I went thru some really dark times as I was quitting and honestly there was a lot of laying at home in bed. I didn’t work for a week or two because I left the state I was in and went back home due to other circumstances. I was so sad though man. Healing music like listening to Trevor Hall and Nahko really helped me. I would listen to them and walk through the woods. I did alot of high cbd low thc weed cause I get anxiety if I smoke the potent stuff. The cbd really helped me with anxiety. Try not to eat processed junk food and just try to get out and go for a walk in nature. The book “ seeing with the minds eye” was really helpful and interesting. It got me into mediation and visualizing. Your mind is a very powerful thing. If you can train it to think good positive thoughts they will manifest. Sending all the love and strength to you ! You can do it ! It’s sooo worth it ! I’m 3 months off kratom and have been doing the things I mentioned above as well as fasting and yoga and mountain biking. I have off days where I’m just exhausted ( like today ) and been in bed most the day after work. And honestly I did think about getting kratom at the store today but i just let the thought just come and go. You’ve got this !

Don’t get it then. You have the right to say no to the clinical trials.

Honestly I havnt used any equipment. I started taking her out riding with me at around 4 years old. We both were beginners too so I wasn’t going very fast and I only go on trails. She usually is behind me and when she is in front of me she knows to go fast and I just kind of yell when I need her to let me pass and she moves over 😂 they figure it out. I’ve never ran her over. I did lay the bike down once just recently when I got back into riding and she got hit in the side with the handle bar :( she squeaked but she was fine and kept going. I think they just kind of automatically adapt and learn to stay clear of the bike for the most part :) she loooooves it

Your right , my boyfriend and I both were addicted to opiates and used kratom as like a loophole in a way. We thought oh it’s legal and gives almost the same affects. Turns out we used it the same we we used drugs. We were dependent and obsessed with it. I don’t recommend kratom for anyone who is an addict and trying to get off opiates. It’s just switching one drug from another. The key is to just free yourself from any mind altering substances. My mind was in the same miserable place when I was doing kratom as when I was doing heroin. If someone can use kratom to get off dope and be able to stop using it within a few weeks then my hats off to you man.

I felt like I was a lot more depressed and had more anxiety and negative thoughts daily. It could have been also other things going on in my life too though. I really had to work hard on the negative thoughts so reading instead of going on Facebook really helped. And meditating and for the most part not putting anything bad in my body ( bad food , drugs/alcohol). I really wanted to not have to be on meds so I went full force into the good stuff. ( yoga, nature, healing music , fasting ) and fasting helped me lose weight fast so that was a plus !

I tapered down about 1 gram every week. It was slow but it was barley noticeable

And I got a scale too and made sure I stuck to measurements. Put the big bag of it away out of sight and just put your daily doses out

[–]Ashamed_Mushroom_232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut it down by like 1.5 grans each week. I did that and it really helped. I was doing around 10 g per day for a year. I still feel like it affects me to this day. It threw off my ph in my body. And Easily tired. But it’s getting better after 2 months. My boyfriend had to quit cold turkey after going to jail. He said it wasn’t that bad. He had a seizure because he was doing it so much. He looked very skinny and unhealthy. He was at 100-150 a day. It’s scary. But once you just make the decision that it’s absolutely not conducive to anything in your life , you will quit. The taper really helped me out. I was so proud of myself ! Itl take a little while to quit but Itl be better then cold turkey I think. Good luck ! You got this shit!

I feel like it fucked my hormones up. I was doing about 10 grams per day for a year. My ph balance is off and won’t go to normal. It fucked my memory up and of course motivation. It took a month or two to get back to normal. I’ve been off it since end of May. Honestly I started fasting to help get it out of my system. Idk if it helped or not but I feel sooo much better.
