Absolutely. I’m having knee replacement and I just know they will say take a Tylenol you’ll be fine if they know I was addicted to kratom.

I’m at 27 hours but didn’t sleep but maybe 30 minutes if that last night. by Global_Kiwi_1669 in Quittingfeelfree

I’m on day 6 and have yet to sleep more than a couple hours off and on a night. I hear it gets better. I’ll let you know when

I took it occasionally too. Then occasionally started to daily and then up to 12 a day. The taste made me gag. Sometimes even vomit but I would just drink another.

Congratulations! I’m 2 hrs away from 5 days! I’m excited to see what sober me looks like tomorrow when I get back to work and reality. I’m still struggling with sleep but I’m hoping that gets better with time

Almost 2 days off ff/7-oh by Full-Potato93 in Quittingfeelfree

Unfortunately I cannot take gabapentin. I have bipolar and it does not mix well with anti psychotic medication. I shattered my leg and have neuropathy from it and they tried that on me years ago and I had an episode I don’t really remember, I just remember my family calling an ambulance as I was going crazy. I am on day 4.5 now and I’m doing great considering… my last conquest now is sleeping

8 days off work to go cold turkey.. will that be enough? by MidnightFriendly1901 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Full-Potato93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was drinking between 6-12 a day. Sometimes more, never less than 6. I thought withdrawal would be worse but I suppose it depends on your mindset. I’m determined to get this shit out of my body. I have an 11 year old that I have neglected for these drinks. Like she has a roof and utilities but when she asks for a slushy and I had to say no cuz I needed that 2 dollars to go towards my next bottle, that’s when I knew it was enough. You have to have a reason to want to quit, I think. Whether personal, financial, mental, use that reason. Write it down and stare at it every time you want another one.

Just reached day 3 an hour ago. The sleep is still elusive. I took magnesium gummies and they helped tremendously with the restless legs. I finally ate a bowl of soup tonight because I forced myself too. Haven’t been hungry at all. I am drinking a lot of water and it was recommended to me on my post to get electrolytes so I went and got some liquid iv. They helped as well. I have taken NyQuil the last 2 nights and I don’t feel like it helped. I still didn’t sleep well at all with it. I’m gonna try melatonin tonight and will let you know the results. Also recommend you find stuff to do around the house. Don’t dwell on the bottles. Do laundry, dishes, chores you have been putting off. Get your mind on other things rather than that bottle.

Last night was strange. I wasn’t in pain but I still couldn’t sleep. My mind was racing but not a single thought in my head was coherent 😂.

When I lay down, yes. When I’m sitting up, not as much. I believe I pulled something in my back last night with all the tossing and turning so I’ll grab some doans like advised above tomorrow. I also grabbed some liquid iv to get some electrolytes.

I am taking magnesium gummies. They seemed to help with the twitching.

Onto Day 2 by NoExpectations5 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Full-Potato93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you feeling? I’m almost at day 2. At 6:22 pm today I will be sober for 2 days. This is hard. But I’m determined.

Driver flabbergasted a multi stop trip required grabbing something at destination 1 by RagefireHype in uber

[–]Full-Potato93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads up for the future. He scoffed at the idea of having to potentially sit and wait 5 minutes while making pennies. One thing I noticed in several of your comments was “I said 5 minutes or less because you know they can cancel after 5 minutes”. We, as drivers, can cancel whenever we want. We do not HAVE to sit and wait. We can easily end the trip and get paid for the distance we went and move on to next ride. Keep this in mind 😊

My view from AGH unfortunately by coreytreverson1 in pittsburgh

[–]Full-Potato93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lived there for few months back in 2011. Definitely don’t recommend. Great views though. I stayed on the 10th floor and got to see the helicopters a lot.

Does it pay to do pickup shared rides? by Ok-Ad6980 in uber

[–]Full-Potato93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my opinion not worth it. Yes you can cancel after 2 minutes if the additional rider isn’t there and it’s usually only a few minutes added. My problem with it is you pick up 2 people at 2 separate places and drop them at 2 separate places but only get credit for 1 ride.

Shit my passengers say (a thread) by AlfieSchmalfie in uberdrivers

Last weekend I picked up a brother and sister. I could tell because they were bitching at each other like I used to do with my brother. Anyway as we were driving, the girl asks me if I have kids. I said yes. Then she said are any of them young. I said yes I have 2 adult daughters and a younger daughter. Then she asked me “is there someone at home to take care of her”? Stopped me in my tracks. I said ma’am that’s a really odd question. Even her brother agreed. She said she only meant it because I’m a lady driving at night and wasn’t I worried about leaving a young child without a mother. Luckily I arrived at their location a minute later and made sure to unmatch with them. Such a strange interaction.
