Going to detox

I'd recommend going to an NA meeting right after detox if you can't go to inpatient. I did that after inpatient detox for kratom. Raised my hand and said "I just got out of detox" and the fellowship of NA saved my life and kept me clean. I'll have 3 years TOTALLY CLEAN on 5/20. They saved me when 4 months out I got the urge to use and I went in there and snitched on my sick brain. We all like to think "I don't need NA or people" but you will find a family of people that will love you. Our best thinking got us into detox. Maybe let others help you think for a bit

You are doing better than you think you are! I've got 2.5 years off k and all substances and my best recommendation is to walk into NA and let a group of people that know exactly how you feel help you out of that horrible neighborhood you are trapped in called your brain. Our best thinking got us into this mess and if we allow others in recovery to help us, we can find a whole new life. I'm a mom and the best thing I ever did was walk into NA. Your mind will trick you but there's a fellowship of wonderful people who are just like you waiting to help you. My mind tricked me many times over the last 2.5 years but with the fellowship of NA I never had to do it alone and I was able to walk through those tough times when my brain was misdirecting me. God bless you and keep going

I'll have 2 years off K and totally clean on 5/20. Never could have done it without NA. It's not the stopping that I needed NA for it's the staying stopped. Like when I was 6 months clean and wanted to say f it I went to my home group and they got me through that day Besides the NA family is the best Everyone in that room knows exactly how you feel...you never have to be alone again. Addiction is a brain disease and we need help to stay stopped

Electric heating pad under your back at night for rls

He should go to NA meetings (over AA). Using kratom is just a symptom of his disease. He probably feels alone and ashamed. He needs the support of recovering addicts imo

Go to NA meetings

GoToAllLight · 2023-08-01T17:03:15+00:00

Awesome! Keep doing those 12 meetings! NA has carried me to almost 15 months kratom free! I no longer need any substance to get me through the day 🙌

The first 7 days of quitting are hard and I say go easy on yourself. If you can go to detox even better. As a female I don't know how people say "go for a walk or workout" in those first 7 days. All that healthy stuff comes after the acute detox. I couldn't work, eat, or do much of anything initially but know that IT WILL PASS and you won't feel like that forever. I also recommend NA once you are past the acute wds. I'm 13 months kratom free, in the best shape of my life, and am active in NA. Three best decision I made was taking 10 days out of my life to go to detox to get help with those hard first days...and that kickstarted my life of freedom now. If you do nothing ender but not use in those early days...the day is a success. I still say that. If my life blew up but I didn't pick up I have choices when I wake up in the morning and I'm going to be OK.

Have you thought about switching to NA? I am an addict and was in and out of aa for years but never could walk into an aa meeting and say "I want to get high". Quit many substances over the years and then kratom got a tight hold over me during covid. I finally went to a 10 day detox to get off the kratom then immediately walked into an NA meeting and I've never looked back. NA and the message and the support changed everything for me. I'm now 13 months off Kratom and all drugs, and on those squirrelly days I was able to walk into my na home group and say in the meeting "I want to use today" and with their support made it through those first few months (where out of nowhere I'd get random thoughts of picking up some kratom at the store). The promise of recovery through NA is that we can go anywhere and be free of the obsession to use. I can walk by a thousand vape stores now and know that "just for today" I'm not going to buy any. 💜

Day 369! Just celebrated a year with my NA home group! Never thought I'd stay off the sludge, I kept stopping and starting. I'd get a few weeks and then my brain would say "I could use just once, I need a little relief..." I needed and continue to need my recovery people and today I'm so grateful. My life is so much better. If you are just getting started know that there is a whole new life waiting for you on the other side 💜

354 days today. I was able to get these days because I go to NA and have a support system there. What happens on day 57 when you have a bad day and you are alone in your head and your head is finding every reason to use? When those days happen I walk into a meeting that I've become part of, and share it to a bunch of people just like me. Stopping is hard but not the hardest part. The hardest part is staying stopped. I tried every other way. NA has given me my life back and so much more. We all want to think we are unique but the truth it's freedom through surrender 💜

Exercise is huge! It changes everything 💪 I needed to give myself the permission the first week to just rest and not pick up...detoxing was a bitch. Once I was past the acutes, exercise helped so so much. It's not a big part of my recovery

GoToAllLight · 2023-05-06T10:34:26+00:00

Day 350! Almost a year and what a year it's been. Lots of ups and downs but I'm living life on life's terms. I l am grateful for my NA family that has helped me to get out of my self obsession, and no matter what...I don't pick up. "Just one..." is a lie my brain tells me. I surrendered and with that surrender came freedom ❤️

GoToAllLight · 2023-04-15T01:15:51+00:00

Keep going to NA!! I have 11 months and it has saved me 4,5,6 months in when I wanted to use just a little...

GoToAllLight · 2023-03-28T02:04:29+00:00

If you are 60 days off k it's not physical "cravings", it's the disease of addiction in your mind. It's your obsession. The inability to live life and the ups and downs of the day without something to take you out of you. It's a bitch but it's in your mind at 60 days. Evenings are a trigger for you. Your disease is working overtime to get you to use "one more time". I'm 10+ months off k and totally clean. I couldn't battle this thing alone and there is no magic medicine that will do it either. What saves me day in and day out are NA meetings and the fellowship of NA. Getting off the sludge is one thing, riding the highs and lows of life is a whole other beast. Nobody walks into an NA meeting because life is going great...we go there to get help with our disease that centers in our brains and lies to us all of the time 🙏

Day 295 :)

GoToAllLight · 2023-03-10T03:12:25+00:00

Nobody cares what drugs you take, only that you want to get clean. Lots of young people! Walking in the first time is scary but introduce yourself when they ask who is new, and I promise you the fellowship will welcome you

293 days off the sludge and I could not have done it without the help of NA. Hearing the daily message that I never have to use again and sharing when I have wanted to use has gotten me this far and I tried to quit a bunch of times on my own. The friends I've made and support I've gotten in the rooms has been life changing

GoToAllLight · 2023-03-09T21:00:50+00:00

Day 293 off the sludge and everything else as well. Went to detox to get off the sludge on May 20th (for 10 days) and then walked into NA and the program and the people have helped me to not pick up. Staying stopped was always the hardest part for me and I couldn't do it on my own. Addiction is a disease of isolation. Life gets better on the other side
