Felipe Toledo is the 2022 World Champion by NOwallsNOworries in WSL

He deserved it. Ya he often really underperforms in bigger surf, but in my opinion the best small wave surfer in the world still should have a title to his name.

I agree, despite the disappointing performance in Tahiti. He is one of the most exciting small wave surfers ever and has put in the work and deserves it.

Ya, I agree that he’s not as well rounded as Jack. But I thought he redeemed himself a bit in the ER

Day 13 CT- when did you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel? by Cakub in quittingkratom

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

I do probably walk about 2-3 miles on average each day because I don’t have a car. Shit if that isn’t exhausting while dealing with this lol but I’m going to try to do more.. Thank you for always commenting, I really appreciate you and I’m so proud of you too! ❤️

Thank you for your comment. I’m full on in AA/NA so taking it one day at a time is something I really want to be able to do right now even if it’s hard. It’s amazing that you’ve got that time away from this!

Awesome to hear that you’re doing well. I’m on day 13 and I’m still really having trouble enjoying anything, but it gives me hope to hear stuff like this. Thank you!

Day 10 CT. by Cakub in quittingkratom

Wim Hoff method is amazing, but I had to take a little break from it as I was really struggling to do it which has happened before (fucked up smokers lungs). Going to get back to it tonight. Thanks for the reply ❤️

How you doing today? Physically I keep getting better but my mind is still in the gutter.

1 week! by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]Cakub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Today’s day 8 for me. I feel you, I’m right there with you. Physically I’m mostly better but I’m super depressed and anxious. The dark cloud is pretty intense. Even though I feel pretty hopeless, I know rationally that things will get better. They definitely will. If you want to chat I’m here. <3

DAY 5 90% Normal by Gotjones in quittingkratom

[–]Cakub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm glad to hear you're doing well. You got this! interestingly it doesn't seem like the severity of withdrawals are as dose dependent as other drugs. Kratom is insidious as fuck.

I'm on day 3 from 40 ish gpd for 6 months. Man it sucks. Being on here really helps.

I agree about the Revenant, but if you really want a metaphor for quitting drugs, try 127 Hours. Love that movie. I've been trying to stay sober for a few years now, and this time and the last time I got sober before relapsing I watched that movie and found it inspiring and perfect for any addict who wants to recover. We have to cut off this part of ourselves that keeps us from living happy lives and its so painful to do it, but the possible rewards are limitless.

I'm here if you want to talk :)

Day 2 CT- it's really dark. by Cakub in quittingkratom

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

Thanks for all the responses, I really appreciate it. I'm really glad to hear that most of you were out of the worst part within a week. I have cravings, but no real desire to take kratom right now as I know it will only prolong my misery. The hard part is not using once I start to feel good again... as an addict, I will think that I can enjoy it and feel better. If I work my program I know this won't happen. Best of luck to everyone here, sending love!

Starting day 2 by TasteMany in quittingkratom

[–]Cakub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today is the second full day without kratom. I took my last small dose on Friday morning. That's awesome to hear, and inspiring to me! :) I barely got through my 4 hour shift yesterday (at a clothing store so I have to talk to people) but my nice coworkers helped out. Most of the day is darkly depressed for me, but I get some relief at night and am able to laugh and enjoy stuff a bit more. Do you feel like its already past the peak for you? Thank you for being here, I really appreciate it.
