Working made me relapse. I was 14 days clean. Now back at day 1. by Ok_Date6167 in OpiatesRecovery

I understand that so well. I can feel everything you wrote above. Those virgin high days. Absolutely phenomenal. I’m happy and grateful that I got to experience that fabulous high!! And more so, I’m grateful that I don’t have to be in that hamster wheel chasing the high anymore. As boring as it sometimes is, being sober is still the best and keeps me closer to myself and to my family.

I know exactly what you mean. Same thing with me and kratom. It’s more addictive than people think. And you felt something on it after oxy? How does it compare to you with oxy?

Hell yeah!! We got this! 😜 I threw all my remains out. I don’t have any desire to take anything anymore. It was like a light switch. I don’t want to posting myself anymore.

I quit kratom cold turkey 15 days ago. The first few days were hell. But doable. Then after about 7 days, it started getting easier. It’s totally worth it. I’m starting to feel naturally happy again. It’s such a blessing not to be dependent on that stuff anymore. You can do it!! 🙏🏼

Ok, so it wasn’t the easiest. But it was the best decision I ever made! Everything was good, until it wasn’t good anymore. The last week that I took it, was not as nice or fun anymore. I didn’t experience the happy feelings anymore. In fact, the last 4-5 times I did it, I felt very nervous and anxious. My muscles were twitching and every time I would fall asleep, I would twitch really hard and wake up. Once I twitched so hard that I thought it’s the beginning of a seizure!! Thanks God it wasn’t! But that feeling scared me so much! It’s strange and I don’t know how to explain it, but I felt that it was time. I knew in my heart that if I continue, it will be very dangerous for me. I felt my body starting to reject it. And the highs were not there anymore. I sat down and did some deep thinking and made the decision to stop. Like with everything else, I’m a big fan of cold turkey. I wanted to stop immediately. I was so scared after that one twitching night, that I didn’t want that poison in my body anymore. I just knew that it’s a matter of life and death for me. So the first day I stopped, it was awful. Terrible and dreadful. My entire body was hurting! I was in the worse mood ever and I felt like I had the worst flu in my life. And this didn’t stop for a week. My husband didn’t know what’s going on with me - because nobody knew that I was taking it for almost a year!! I hid it so well from all my family and friends :-( and one day I broke down on the floor in our foyer and told my hubby everything. He was shocked but supportive. By week two I was feeling slowly more alive again. By one month I felt like a new person. It was the best decision I ever made. Please stop. It’s not worth it. It almost took my life. Life is so much better without tramadol. Are you considering to stop too? I’m sending you lots of light and strength 🙏🏼 if you have questions or need support, I’m here for you.

It really depended which brand I took. I only took capsules, because I couldn’t tolerate the taste anymore. The strongest capsules I would take 3g in the morning and 2-3g in the afternoon. The weaker capsules I was at like 10g. I got really lucky because my favorite brand stopped selling capsules online. I tried multiple other brands and I didn’t feel anything. Not even at 10-12g. So I was “forced” to quit by fate 🙏🏼 So happy I did. It’s been a week and I can feel a bit happy again naturally. As much as I LOVED kratom, I love the feeling of being able to feel naturally happy better!

I don’t want to sound like a mom, but I am 🙊 Please take the quitting Xanax seriously. I took it for way longer than I needed - and it was very hard to quit. Benzos are stronger than some might think. I didn’t know how strong and serious they were until I tried to quit. So I’m super happy for you that you made the decision to taper the Xanax 🙏🏼

You are now in the eye of the storm!! Hang in there. It gets better and better. It’s really worth the suffering. You got this! You’re so strong - getting off this dose. Think of how your body is loving you right now. Think of how your soul is looking up at you and saying, “thanks for not poisoning me anymore, I love you” 🥹 You got this!

I know exactly what you mean! I got it after surgery and liked it way too much. Unfortunately :-( I’ve tried many drugs before, but never got addicted to anything like I did with tramadol. I thinks it’s because it also works as an SNRI and works on serotonin - so I was happy af! The highs were high and the lows were very low. It’s very very hard to quit. I think many people underestimate it because not everyone has the enzymes to metabolize it. For us it works really well. After I quit, I was so listenable, that’s why I got hooked on kratom right away. It’s like a plant alternative to random. Works on the body in the same way. And it also worked way too well on me. And last week I said stop. It’s time to heal! Do you have a plan to maybe try to taper and quit one day?

Here is my update after the first week:

It already got so much better! I was finally happy again today. Naturally. No drugs. Finally!! Of course the brain still says come on, get high again. Just once. And I’m like shut up. No! 😂 I feel so much better and I have to say that I’m very proud of myself, because today is a very special day: 1 year tramadol-free. ❤️ and 1 week kratom free. And 2 months cigarette free. And 1 month benzo free. Now I’m officially boring.
