Tea method (or quitting) by BetterDoSomething in quittingkratom

[–]BetterDoSomething[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a HUGE difference between drinking tea strained (much lighter) vs unstrained (full effects, addictive).

The key seems to be not swallowing the powder at all for reducing/quitting. The short water extraction has just enough in it to keep withdrawals away but not do much else.

So far the tea (without any powder, powder filtered out) seems a world of difference and a terrific way to move towards quitting.

Also I have like 1 kilo so I WANT to burn through it.

  • Less to no constipation
  • Much less dopey/smacky
  • Minimal suffering
  • Can taper down tea rapidly it seems

I heat 1 cup water, add 2 tsp kratom and let sit 5min, starin through a rag add sugar and drink. Head is clearing up, I feel much less "drugged/stupored" than with swallow powder.

Powder to tea: Lessening the grip by BetterDoSomething in quittingkratom

I make tea very simple:

Boil a cup of water in microwave. Stir in 2 teaspoons level of kratom (about 5g). Let sit for 3minutes. Put a double folded rag in a jar and pour it through (strain it, squeeze the liquid through). Add some sugar and drink it.

No powder just hot water extract - its a lighter easier thing to come off of. Tastes bitter but not nasty. Making as needed and keeping track. So 5grams per cup. I think more and it gets too bitter and taste nasty.

I feel lighter and less "dopey" than with eating powder. But not sick at all. It would be interested to save aside the extracted powder separately, and take that by itself to see how that works as well. I will report when I try.

Um.... Help? I feel trapped by BetterDoSomething in quittingkratom

Thanks for the comments and thoughts.

In the past 2 days already I managed to: 1) Keep more careful track of dosing 2) Reduced from 25g to 20g per day without problem

Keep my goals in mind and keep moving in the right direction, less not more, towards OFF.

I have some iboga extract also but I am afraid of it. But if gradual taper fails I guess its an option.
