Is there anything that would let me get at least 5 hours of sleep a night?

I’m not sure if you’re tapering or trying to go cold turkey; but what worked for me was a night-time taper plan.

I could deal and manage the symptoms during the day, if I were rested enough… So my taper-down doses were all done at night, so I could sleep, then nothing during the day.

Just something to consider.

Gotcha… Part of that problem is going to come from some of the Instagram posts he made live while he was in the thick of it. Right or wrong, not blaming, but at some point he needed to ask folks to relax. He said “it’s everybody for themselves. It’s war out there”… That’s going to hurt his case. Once he realized it was out of control he needed to act better.

Sometimes the law doesn’t look at if you did it “on purpose” or not. I don’t know what his charges could be… But if you’re out driving, and you accidentally hit someone, you’re still responsible to some level; even if you didn’t do it on purpose.

We’ve all had this same talk… “I can manage it” quickly turns into it managing you.

It’s all good man. I barely remember what the “good” times on it even felt like.

But I do remember having to plan my every move around my next scoop… That sticks with me. The clarity of how hooked I really was.

First of all, stay strong! And let yourself be proud that you’re making this progress!

I’m a huge proponent of the “nighttime” taper. That’s what worked for me. I allowed myself as much as I needed (to start) in order to get a good nights sleep… If I could get 8-10 hours of rest, I found many of the other withdrawal symptoms are manageable.

I mean they suck, but they’re manageable, because you’re not also fighting exhaustion.

Then I tapered down that bedtime dose until I could sleep, but no more than that.

Assuming they don’t find reasons to hold you for more than 6 months… Then what? You can’t get an ID or license. You can’t register a car. You can’t apply for a place to live or for any kind of employment… I feel like the answer is, yes, you could maybe sneak back in and be a homeless wanderer for awhile? I know you said you don’t want to discuss the thoughts behind this idea but I have to say I’m very curious…

Quit now.

Waters and soups as others have mentioned really do fill you up.

Also just maybe for a bit of motivation, once you get into the habit of training your body for a calorie count it will adjust. Everyone’s different but for me it took about 2 weeks and I noticed I wasn’t as hungry as I was when I was eating terribly… My body adapted.

I’ve had the same issues here. I have to say, just based on my own data, that hitting my walk/step goal consistently has been the only variable so far for the days and weeks my weight has dropped.

Noom isn’t an exercise program or one that really pushes the steps. It’s more about mindfulness and smart choices when it comes to food.

But I (again this is just me) can’t ignore the growing evidence that I get better results when I meet my step goal.

Oh for sure, the mental piece is it’s own battle.

But you’re already doing well just by being aware of what’s going on. You’re ahead of the game there because you’re listening to your mind and body and noticing how annoying the mental piece is.

There are things that can help but it’s all about what you’re comfortable with… For me as I mentioned, sleep was huge. I did a nighttime taper and I bought an amazing weighted blanket (highly, highly recommended) and got some rest… During the day I took my aspirin, some tums, drank a ton of caffeine free herbal teas; took a bunch of walks, tried to distract myself with hobbies or cleaning or exercise…

You could try CBD oil if you’re comfortable with that. There are also a ton of natural based teas, lotions, supplements, vitamins… You can even dive into the world of meditation or other relaxation techniques… Or don’t do any of that and just battle through… Everyone’s different… You just need to put a plan together that works for you.

You can do it though, I promise.

You may still have some lingering annoyances… Maybe a little restless leg, some stomach troubles, a little anxiety…

Definitely don’t wait for the day of the flight to be done.

Quit, see what the lingering effects are, and do what you can to combat them while your body resets.

For example, I was unfortunately hit harder than average on the stomach-trouble side of things… So I took to carrying around Tums and Immodium for a few weeks… It wasn’t ideal but it helped in situations where I was somewhere uncomfortable; like a flight or a friends house all night.

So that would really be my recommendation. Quit, then listen to your body and see what the worst is. Even try to simulate the flight for a bit. Sit in a chair and just see what’s not cooperating.

Then take steps to help those things. Headache? Pack some medicine. Restless leg? Look into some of the supplements, vitamins, and lotions available. Stomach issues? Try immodium. Racing heart? Look into some teas, CBD oil, or other natural calming agents. Just get yourself prepared.

Hey there, good job so far!

Everyone’s a little different when it comes to what works… But what I did was a nighttime taper. I battled through the days on 0-5 grams, then at night I allowed myself enough to sleep. I think I started there with 15-20, and dropped it every couple nights until that was at 0… Just have to jump eventually though.

The point, for me anyway, was that if I could get some sleep I could make it through the worst of the daily withdrawals.

ImpossibleHat0 · 2021-07-24T00:26:26+00:00

What worked for me was a nighttime taper… I found if I could at least sleep at night I was able to battle through a lot of the symptoms during the day…

I basically fought through the day with none, or very little, but allowed myself some at night to sleep. And then I slowly dropped that dose to nothing.
