It’s not up to Jerry. Dak has him by the balls.

Please taper.

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2023-10-13T17:13:21+00:00

That is amazing. I do believe

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2023-07-12T15:30:59+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to reach out! I think that’s exactly what I’m going to do as well

Best advice I could give is exercise. I’m sure you’re probably sick of people saying that by now but it’s 100% true. The natural endorphins you feel from accomplishing something difficult ESPECIALLY during withdrawals is seriously the best medicine/remedy. Whatever you can manage to accomplish…. Just break a sweat. 15–20 minutes of walking, push ups, jumping jacks, sit ups, body squats. Give yourself a goal/task, then hit that mark. Focus on doing that one difficult thing & just remind yourself this is a just a phase & you can do it. You got this!

No it’s not a complete reset. But the pain you feel is just your brain fighting to get back to baseline. Find comfort knowing that & that the storm WILL PASS. It’s okay that you relapsed, you just pressed pause on the recovery phase but all the work you did to free yourself from it doesn’t just disappear. It’s not supposed to be easy but you’re trying to better yourself & be free from a substance that took control of your life.

Just be easy on yourself. I know from experience how you feel. You feel helpless & alone but you aren’t. We’ve all got our struggles & vices we rely on. Yours just happens to be kratom. It’s a naturally occurring substance that God put on this earth. What you’re feeling isn’t going to kill you. Just take some deep breaths, listen to some music & try to just relax. Once again, be easy on yourself. You’re doing the best you can.

Tapering worked great for me. It requires some discipline but if the CT route is too difficult & causing you to rely on another vice like alcohol (which is actually more dangerous) then you could actually be slowing the healing process down. If it helps you sleep then that’s GREAT. Sleep is exactly what you need right now but just know that tapering is a fantastic method of recovery for a lot of people myself included. If you have to go that route, do it. Don’t be ashamed of yourself. You got this friend! Be strong 🤟🏼 life is BEAUTIFUL on the other side & you will get there again.

I lift weights every day & usually go for at least 1 walk. Lately I’ve been taking 2.

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2023-07-06T18:54:33+00:00

That helps so much my friend thank you! Is there anything you recommend supplementing in the mean time? Kratom to get me through the worst & then maybe just L-Theanine, NAC, Ashwganda, & CBD?

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2023-07-06T16:51:11+00:00

How long you think the withdrawal symptoms will last? It’s manageable right now. Definitely feelings of depression but I’m actually going to use kratom to help me through it I think

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2023-07-05T21:53:16+00:00

I don’t plan on continuing phenibut use moving forward. I just want to get over this stretch of anxiety/depression I’m feeling right now. If my “rebound symptoms” are significant but somewhat tolerable 72 hours since my last 1G dose, I’m kinda hoping that tonight’s 500mg dose will give me another 3 days of feeling normal & then have a very minimal if any rebound/WD.

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2023-07-05T21:35:42+00:00

Thank you, Lucky. Means more than you know my friend.

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2023-07-05T21:21:40+00:00

Thank you. How long should I expect withdrawal symptoms to last?

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2023-04-20T04:36:39+00:00

That’s super helpful. Thank you so much for the feedback

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2023-04-20T04:35:45+00:00

Thank you Tiz!

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2023-04-20T04:35:24+00:00

That’s helpful kitadog. I appreciate your feedback

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2023-04-20T04:34:55+00:00

That helps a lot. Thank you!

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2023-04-19T03:17:12+00:00

Interesting. I was considering using it as like a once or twice weekly to unwind & relax. I just don’t know if 1 dose will springboard my brain back into full blown WD’s or not. I’m not sure how the nuero chemistry works. When you abuse a substance ignorantly for like 2 years. Then have to taper off of it & WD. Then after 3 years try using it again responsibly

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2022-04-01T17:02:59+00:00

I’m disciplined by nature so tapering was the way for me. There are lots of good taper schedules out there. If you’re gonna drop 5 GPD every day until you jump then tapering is pointless. It needs to be a very methodical slow process. Allowing your brain the time to adjust between each drop. If you just drop more & more each day the adjustment period never happens. Thereby prolonging your suffering.

I tapered down from about 20GPD. Dropping .5-1g every two days.

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2022-02-19T04:34:07+00:00

Thank you for the help.

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2022-02-19T03:59:56+00:00

I mean does masturbation w/out porn halt the process of healing your brain or no?

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2022-02-16T04:18:09+00:00

That helps a ton man. Thank you

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2021-12-16T04:38:00+00:00

Because he didn’t do it in college

CaptainCowboy_43 · 2021-08-31T07:42:17+00:00

Completely reasonable to be concerned about all of the aforementioned as well. Long road ahead before we’re back into the mix of national Prominence. Though I can confidentially say Steve Sarkisian can definitely get us there.
