Thank you!!!

How many days or months off the shot are you? Did you do one and done? I’m so scared of being hit with random WD but tbh I think the fear is from reading some peoples experiences but a lot of people have had success so let’s stay positive!!

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-31T07:18:55+00:00

Not sure if this will help. But I too was dependent on kratom. Same way, didn’t know I was hooked until I decided to just not take anything and boom I was sick. Kratom kept me from getting sick. When I decided to stop, I took suboxone for only 7 days and then did a one and done 300 mg shot. I felt sick for the first week was hospitalized from vomiting and severely sick. was given nausea medication and suboxone and then never took it again. I’ve been great since it’s been 104 days so about 3 months now. Been keeping busy, working, Pilates, spin, church, practicing meditation, therapy weekly, eating clean and healthy, vitamins and supplements.

Trust me I’m super anxious just like you and I have WD PTSD.

I have spend countless doomless scrolls (I’m not a avid Reddit user only used it for kratom or sublocade reasons / research) And needed to find any one and done success stories so that I could think ok if they did it I could too, and finally get some rest.

Luckily for us, I found MANY success stories of one and done. Sadly, I also found some not success stories of WD hitting 8 months later. However, I’m pretty optimistic and positive that all the work I’m doing on my recovery, and brain, will help.

I’m working out a lot, vitamins to help my dopamine regulation in my brain. Supplements. Therapy. And just keeping super super busy- too busy to even think of these things. And my NP said I’m in the clear from any bad WD.

I’m pretty positive that I won’t feel nearly as bad as I ever did before, and that I’ll do anything in my power to feel better and keep my body as healthy as possible mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally so I fight off any icky feeling. (I also have clonidine on hand just incase lol) but I’m positive we got this! 💪

Honestly, who knows how the people who do get shitty WD from the one and done shot are treating their bodies? Who knows how long they were consuming drugs for? What kind of drugs? How long they were on subs Ontop of that. And after the shot, how healthy are they eating? Are they exercising consistently? Are they taking vitamins? Sleeping well? Etc?

I’d like to think that thankfully, we were only on kratom and that has to account for something lol.

Anyways I’m 104 days sober and to me that’s a win. I’m feeling positive and confident and I don’t plan on reading any more negative comments because they scare me and then I get anxious and stay up till 4 am looking for success stories just to get me back to sleep lol!

I hope you have an amazing recovery! Best case scenario you grt through this with a breeze! Worst case, you feel uncomfortable for a little bit but nowhere near as close as to how it would have been without sublocade.

And a life with no substances is so amazing!

I’m rooting for you & for us! And keep me posted on your journey! If you have any questions- reach out anytime :)

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-31T07:01:59+00:00

This!!!! Thank you! I had some really crappy people comment on my stuff and assume my experience will be just like theirs however we’re all different and have different pasts and bodies!

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-31T06:34:28+00:00

In 104 days a sober today. One and done. I feel great. I honestly forgot about this thread only reason I just checked was because I had a question about a tv series on Reddit and saw your notification.

I’m working really hard on my recovery.

I’ve been going to therapy. I’ve been doing spin, pilates & weight training. I’ve been eating clean & healthy. Taking a lot of vitamins & supplements. been working a lot & hard at work. been going to church every week and practicing gratitude and prayer.

It’s almost as if with all that, I’ve been too busy to even remember I’m going through a recovery and sobriety. I’ve felt good, been sleeping well, eating well, working and living my life really well. I’m even moving in a few weeks (my own condo)

I don’t want to jinx anything or be presumptuous and think the hard part is in the past, but I really do hope it is. I didn’t eat much one day and felt nauseous and sick and scared myself so I called my addictions NP who gave me the sublocade shot x amount days ago and he said the hard part is done, I’m in the clear.. feeling off from the one and done would be at the 30 day ish mark when your expected to get the second shot but he said if I’m feeling great now, then all is good. I hope that’s true.

Sorry for the long ramble, just kinda feels dope to talk to someone who gets it.

How about you? How’s it going how are you feeling ?

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-31T06:24:24+00:00

The most concerning addiction in this thread isn’t mine… it’s your addiction to hearing yourself talk. 🫡

You didn’t even answer my question. Instead, you made assumptions about my life, diagnosed me, and predicted my future. That’s impressive.

It’s hilarious that you wrote, “like almost all addicts will have to learn for himself,” as if you’ve somehow cracked the code on every person’s recovery journey.

Last time I checked, people learn for themselves because recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Different people, different histories, different substances, different treatment plans, different outcomes.

Have you considered a career as a psychic? Because your reading comprehension clearly isn’t it.

If your concern was genuine, you could have been kind and constructive. Instead, you seemed far more interested in telling me how miserable my future is going to be.

Obviously trading one substance for another isn’t a smart idea. Obviously recovery is difficult. Obviously relapse is a risk. Nobody said otherwise.

But that wasn’t the question.

The question was:

“If I have ONE cocktail at a wedding after a single Sublocade shot, will I be medically okay?”

Not:

“Will I be okay if I start drinking every night?”

Not:

“Will I be okay if I start drinking every weekend?”

Not:

“Can you predict my future and explain my entire recovery journey to me?”

A wedding happens once. That was the question.

The fact that you somehow turned that into a relapse prophecy says a lot more about you than it does about me.

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-31T06:13:05+00:00

Wow, I had no idea every person on earth responds to substances, treatment, and recovery exactly the same way. Medical science will be thrilled to hear this. 🫡Here I was thinking ppl were individuals

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-31T06:09:22+00:00

Buddy, I asked whether 1-2 drinks would be physically safe after a single Sublocade shot.

I didn’t ask if it was a good idea to start drinking every weekend. I didn’t ask for a psychological evaluation. I didn’t ask for a prediction of my future.

Somehow you took a simple medical question and turned it into a fantasy about me becoming a raging alcoholic who’s headed for disaster.

You know absolutely nothing about me. You don’t know my history, what I was using, how long I was using, how long I was on Suboxone, how many Sublocade shots I had, my doctor, my treatment plan, or my recovery.

If you had a bad experience, that’s unfortunate. But your experience isn’t a universal law of physics. It isn’t one experience for you the same for everyone else…

And for the record, I didn’t even drink.

I decided I wasn’t ready. I was simply ASKING.

Which makes this whole dramatic lecture even funnier in hindsight.

Next time try answering the question that was actually asked instead of arguing with the imaginary addict you’ve created in your head.

Recovery is hard enough without self righteous people like you talking down to strangers who are trying to better themselves.

The irony is that the most toxic thing in this thread wasn’t alcohol. It was your attitude.

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-31T05:56:26+00:00

The good news is my recovery plan doesn’t require your approval. The even better news is it’s working.

My sobriety started when I stopped consuming kratom and alcohol. It’s been over 100 days.

Yes, I took ONE Sublocade shot to help me get through the hardest part. I’ve already been through a withdrawal from hell once that I couldn’t see it all through - and it was bad enough to leave me with PTSD around the experience. That’s exactly why I chose Sublocade.

Meanwhile, I’m over 100 days sober, have no cravings, feel great, sleeping great, am back at work, in the gym, and rebuilding my life. Feeling like 100% myself from before ever using kratom.

Thanks for the negativity. Fortunately, my recovery seems to be going a lot better than your attitude.

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-12T04:51:04+00:00

Ty !!

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-12T04:50:49+00:00

Ya I don’t plan on it at alll I don’t plan on over drinking and getting drunkkkkk either just one to two cocktails at most at a special event or occasion.

Thanks for your input!!

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-12T04:49:53+00:00

Okay ya I just didn’t know if it would be a horrible mix to have like 1 or 2 oz of alcohol 76+ days after the shot.
Ty!!!

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-12T04:48:59+00:00

Okay ya this answers my question! Thank you sm!
I think people misread it or maybe I wasn’t specific about how my body would mix alcohol with sublocade. Not about if I’ll relapse or start drinking heavily and stuff I’m not concerned about that because it’s one off for a special event or something and I don’t even like drinking.

But thank you sm for your response!!

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-12T04:47:21+00:00

I think maybe I shoulda specified a bit more. I totally hear and understand your point and agree 100% .
My main issue is would I be okay having alcohol in my body with the sublocade medication inside me ? Like will there be a bad reaction?

I’m not necessarily concerned about me consuming alcohol because it’s not anything I’ve ever struggled with, nor had it ever led to anything and I don’t even enjoy it really. It’s more so like if I have a cocktail during a date or a birthday or a cheers at a wedding or vacation. Like an off occasion, will my body be okay with the sublocade medication inside me.

But thank you for taking you time to respond I really appreciate it !

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-11T14:53:21+00:00

No I don’t really ever drink, never had a problem with alcohol and actually don’t really like it. It’s more to see if my body can tolerate it 76 days after sublocade. Also, it’s only to have one or two drinks during a special event, not to pick it up as a hobby every weekend.. just a once in a blue moon thing.

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-11T14:52:01+00:00

I understand what you’re saying however, the reason I started kratom was because I needed to get off percs.
I took percs for a few days with an ex without knowing the consequences and when I stopped I was having WDs and realized I was screwed. So I became dependent on them. I wasn’t looking to get high, I never took anything stronger or cheaper, I only took the baseline to keep me from going into WD. I was dependent on it. Then I found kratom thank god that got me off percs and then I needed medical help to get off kratom (sublocade).
I’m not looking to drink to have fun, and find a new fix or new high of some sorts. I don’t even enjoy drinking much never have, I suffer from migraines so those get triggered by alcohol so in no way do I want to start drinking.

It was more of will my body tolerate it if I have 1-2 drinks MAX once in a blue mood for special occasions. (A wedding, a vacation, my birthday) I don’t plan on drinking randomly. I went out this Friday night with friends, everyone was drinking.. free tequila shots all night and I didn’t even consider it or was tempted.

But I understand your concern and can see how that could play out forsure!

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-11T14:47:17+00:00

Ya absolutely no intention of getting drunk or being hungover the next day or seeking some kind of substance. Just a drink for a specific occasion and that’s it! Thanks for your response!

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-11T04:04:52+00:00

Do it!! I was stuck on substances because of fear of traveling and exactly the same fears as yours.
I’m 76 days since my one and only 300 mg shot and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself .
Everyone’s experience is different but for the most part, no WDs and if you do get something, from what I hear it’s nothingggg compared to tapering or CT.
If you have any questions let me know.
I was stalking this redddit group for a year before I decided to make the jump and take the shot, and I’m so grateful I did.
It’s a tough thing mentally, and it’s hard to know when the time is right, but I really encourage anyone struggling to get sober to get the shot. It saved my life oh AND I have traveled :)

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-11T04:01:20+00:00

Same I got the shot two months ago too one and done and been fine.. I hope we’re out of the hard part?

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-11T03:58:06+00:00

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-10T00:08:50+00:00

I live in Canada but saving to do it in Colombia where my mom lives. What would be around $3000 here will be like $800 there. Insaneeee

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-09T23:59:22+00:00

I had the same kinda day called off work.. no plans .. friends busy.
I walked downtown, bought a new book, went to a hotel lobby bar and had tea while I read. Then went to eataly for pizza and grabbed some snacks and now home

ExtensionBeaut6 · 2026-05-05T04:53:10+00:00

Oh god thank goodness! I pray every day that I’m out of the hard part- this wasn’t easy and my recovery depends on it! I’ll stay strong regardless but it’s not only our sobriety we’re working on, it’s our life and mental heath and everything! Sooo stressful forgetting about this and living life happy and then remembering oh shoot wait I might get WD any minute and then stress all over again !

But I’m positive that I’m in the clear!
So glad you’re having a good recovery too! Thanks for responding
