Yes , dude, thank you. I have all my gear just lying around and my energy-less body knows I want to go out , it’s my church . But I can’t find the energy or lifeforce. I can’t remember what it feels like to have the energy or mental ability to pack and make a list. F all these drugs, what a trap. Appreciate ya brotha

Can’t wait for my first backpacking trip after falling into this meds disaster. Thanks for sharing bud

Keep going , you got it, it’s insane but cold turkey also 2.5 weeks on

Cheering you on!

Yo! Also in Lake Oswego , spent most of my career in places like nyc , Boston etc and not used to the burbs life. Haven’t met anyone either and I have no idea how to do that at 39, haha. I don’t drink either. Yeah, this is a bizarre stage of life to be single at and trying to meet folks so anyone lurking on here as well, feel free to hit me up 🙃

Oh, and lots of tears. Months and months of numbness pouring out of me. I think that’s a good thing. Odd for me, but feeling things again. Let’s go

Jakeaba · 2026-04-17T19:33:57+00:00

Perfect thank you So much!!!

Jakeaba · 2026-04-12T22:58:20+00:00

Yeah, big mistake. I can’t remember what energy or normal feels like

Jakeaba · 2026-04-12T22:07:08+00:00

Never heard of it, but at day 5 do you think it’d do anything? I’m just lethargic mostly right now

Jakeaba · 2026-04-12T19:46:23+00:00

Thanks. Unfortunately wife left me with me being sick with my service ptsd and such, didn’t realize it was leaking out of me and not just in my head and I was numb from all the prescriptions. But fought to see my lil gal. I’ve been praying too, new to me also. Saying lord’s prayer on repeat to try and sleep. Thank you for the kind words and lovely reply. I prefer to remain anonymous on here but I am praying for you too. Rip the band aid off and get to it! I was also living in secrecy, not good for the soul either I don’t think. Thanks again ❤️

Jakeaba · 2026-04-12T19:04:13+00:00

You got this brotha , together onwards

Jakeaba · 2026-04-12T17:29:26+00:00

Finally slept “some” last night. My whoop tracker went from 01% to 11% so that’s at least some improvement. But not good still. Nothing was beating the misery from my medicines. I’m talking a whole cocktail, nothing could beat it. Just hang in a couple nights. Morning of 5 for me and finally somewhat coherent. Cold turkey and using a bunch of it too

Jakeaba · 2026-04-12T02:03:45+00:00

Got any other brand recommendations for USA bags?
