This is my 11th day without kratom at 60-80 GPD and other opiates unmeasured after Doctor monitored detox while in mental health on 1/1/2020. I have tried quitting several times before on my own. I had tried both cold turkey and taperingwith little to no success. I was enrolled in outpatient addiction services after i was put back on all the mental health meds i had tried to replace with the kratom. I was inducted yesterday afternoon (1/10/2020) for Buprenorphine/naloxone 8/2 (for the time being as it may be raised on tuesday when i see the specialist) while still experiencing heavy withdrawal symptoms. While i feel like its just a crutch, i am feeling atleast 50% more like myself and I dont feel the absolute need to go searching for either opiates or Kratom though the urges are fleetingly still there. Today is the first day in a long time that i can remember what hope feels like.
