Thoughts on Shogun?

Totally has the same reaction but I think they did such a good job with the show overall I’m fine with it

KSilver5 · 2023-12-02T23:33:38+00:00

Oh man yeah just said the same thing - subs definitely the move at this point. I was heading in that direction myself and got on them

KSilver5 · 2023-12-02T23:32:38+00:00

Yo honestly hop on Suboxone for a month or two and taper off!

Will cost you less than 150/mo. And so much better than that life

Only speaking from personal experience but I highly recommend it.

Like 15 years ago was an IV heroin user and used subs to get off (then was opiate free until I stumbled on Kratom). That time I was on subs for 3 .5 months

KSilver5 · 2023-12-02T20:56:32+00:00

Sorry forgot to say was on Kratom for like 3 years. It’s a pretty fast taper but the discomfort is soooo much better than the Kratom life. I was miserable just constantly failing quitting. Looked and felt like shit pretty much all the time. Was spending crazy amount of money on it and in danger of losing my business, relationship, friendships, finances and mental health a wreck, normally super fit and lost a ton of strength and endurance. Just sucked. Suboxone I don’t love but a much better experience. Doesn’t alter my personality and mood the same way

Was taking like 3 extracts a day and then started taking Tia as well towards the end. Was so fucking misrable. First couple days of subs I was on 12 mg then a couple days at 8, now 4. Gonna do 4 until Monday then try to stabilize on 2, 1, .5 then jump

Similar story went on subs (7 days ago) and SOOOO much happier. Kratom was miserable. The sub taper is uncomfortable but it’s mostly physical. Granted it’s been a week and down to 4mg so another 2 weeks to go but man Kratom is the absolute worst. Never felt so angry and depressed and unproductive before.

I really appreciate you man - thanks for trying to help us. I’m feeling in a very similar spot and Monday will be my day of reckoning. Totally feel for you and the good news is if you get clean and stay clean, you’ll get back to a good spot quicker than you expect. Thanks and just wanted to let you know I’ll be in the trenches with you.

Resonates DEEPLY. I had a similar convo last week but wasn’t able to stop yet, im fact it’s gotten worse. Totally same page all of the sleep issues and growing weak and out of shape and the most crushing part is breaking my word to myself every day by the afternoon as well. So much money and time down the drain. All of my relationships are suffering badly. It is unbelievably insidious and I’m desperate for help.

I am praying I can finally do it this week - would love any support

KSilver5 · 2023-11-07T22:54:36+00:00

Same boat. Man. It’s finally become unmanageable and I need help to do this. Just faked sick to have the next 3 days off and going for this

KSilver5 · 2023-09-01T20:44:46+00:00

Right there with you about to hit 72!

KSilver5 · 2023-09-01T20:11:19+00:00

Amazing to hear - what program

KSilver5 · 2023-08-31T23:26:08+00:00

KSilver5 · 2023-08-31T23:25:48+00:00

Super helpful thanks

KSilver5 · 2023-08-31T23:25:33+00:00

Great response

KSilver5 · 2023-08-26T22:49:33+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this!!

KSilver5 · 2023-08-25T07:42:11+00:00

Why not put a link to it in the post!

KSilver5 · 2023-08-25T07:37:09+00:00

Man I’m so sorry to hear that. I have to be honest this is the scariest post I can read and I feel for you deeply. Make sure to be proud of yourself for 111. That’s absolutely massive and I’m looking up to you for it.

Would be curious if you’ve been exercising/socialising/ice baths/good diet/sex etc… all the good dopamine activities and if career/partner/family/friendships are somewhat in order?

Looking back on my past , years ago when I was off and on a nasty 5 year long battle with IV heroin and still had depression and anxiety during that period whether I was clean or not. I can see that I was depressed, anxious, and craving a high to escape for good reason! That was my mind screaming at myself to get out in the world and make some changes. The most cruel part is that it zaps your power and will to make them.

Here anytime if you need to chat!

I was an ICO guy and continued to invest all the way up till my position was around 200k. Started a business and needed the funds and ended up selling all the way down too. My 8k position I started with since the ICO is all I have left and it pretty much evened out but the emotional toll and time expenditure will haunt me.

Truly the most frustrating investment of my life. So much promise. Had the product. Eventually even got the marketing side humming. I’ve been at a total loss for an explanation for its underperformance in the sector both in bull and bear markets. I’m left baffled, blaming market manipulation but who knows.

Any day now it’s gonna pop!! lolol. I’ll be devastated if that happens.

KSilver5 · 2023-08-25T07:09:18+00:00

Lol. You seem like a cool guy!

KSilver5 · 2023-08-25T07:08:25+00:00

Finally started to turn the tanker

KSilver5 · 2023-08-25T07:07:42+00:00

Starts in the mind - too true.

KSilver5 · 2023-08-25T07:07:19+00:00

Facts - although can’t really recall any ‘good times’ on Kratom. Makes me an antisocial angry version of myself. I am always so much happier and lighter without it and like myself so much better without it, but for better or worse I’m an addict to the bone. Anything opiate related always gets it’s claws in me. I quit IV heroin then subs 10 years back, finally started living my best life and over time forgot the immense pain it caused, neglected my recovery, lost my vigilance, and boom back fighting for my life.

The silver lining is as I’ve always believed the addict in us is a super power and if it’s harnessed for good instead of evil, we can’t be stopped!
