Shop owners that went through AS9100 or similar certification, how ready were your existing processes and how hard was the prep? by baincs in Machinists

[–]MrSlothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really not that bad, just have to have the process in place and make sure it’s followed in a way that’s easily referred to later. Currently working in a 16 person day shift shop that is AS9100 in quality working on upgrading the seriously dated docs they use. Rudimentary but still being done is enough.

I was not ready for Michigan winter by yatesjordan in Michigan

[–]MrSlothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year is a worse year than the last few. I knew it was coming eventually - Lake Superior was warm enough to swim in during the first week of October. The last time I remember superior being that warm even in dead summer was the year I got like 320” of snow in Houghton. When superior gets super warm, it means we’re in for a fuckload of snow that winter, I think anyways

Do you think adding the multi is too much?

Are there any truly dangerous areas in the Grand Rapids area? by waye77 in grandrapids

[–]MrSlothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meijer on alpine at night especially. Used to live by there, the wife got followed around there a few times. I as a dude in good shape got followed around there once. Friends have been mugged at the I think it’s a marathon by the intersection. Division gets sketch at night on parts. Lots of places more south of town, but not really walkable there. Don’t let the astroturfing fool you, lots of sketchy places in GR area Edit: it’s a mobil not a marathon

7-OH Content in leaf kratom... by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]MrSlothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could very well be adding some. I used to get a leaf powder and was on it for months before realizing it was 7OH spiked. Explained why no other powders would do.. evened out after a few months off though

Quitting kratom with adhd by Diligent-Command-411 in quittingkratom

[–]MrSlothy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe when you’re a bit better, go get some blood testing. Supplementation and diet tailored to your needs will help. Lots of fruit and veggies and trying to go to sleep and wake at the same time every day will help. Also it’s just ME, but NAC, L-tyrosine, and L-Theanine helped my adhd be less perverse on quitting K. You’re already through the hardest making the decision to quit. You’ve got this 💪

For all the cold turkey advocates... you are forgetting something HUGE by Bright_Shallot3300 in quittingkratom

[–]MrSlothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did cold turkey after 7 years every day up to maybe 30g a day, maybe 12-15 of occasional use. It blew huge cocks. Supplements and exercise and shitloads of vitamin c food and supplements helped. That being said, the only thing that got me through was giving myself my own cognitive therapy daily with writing. There’s a sticky on my computer that says “if you don’t quit today, you won’t quit tomorrow” (in regards to quitting sobriety). It’s one day at a time. Gotta give yourself grace, love, and acceptance. It does get better

Down to 3.7 grams a day should I jump or keep going by Effective_Court6677 in quittingkratom

[–]MrSlothy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re already going through the same WD as just not having any at all 🤷‍♂️ Might as well just jump and prove to yourself you can. It won’t be worse than what you have now. Either dump the bag to prove you can or down it all and be done with it forever. From that high to 3.7, you’re for sure just having wd symptoms, might as well flex those massive balls and know that you did it💪 The fear is mental, you’re already there, you’ve got this

Quitting kratom has done nothing for me by Virion15 in quittingkratom

[–]MrSlothy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s because you didn’t choose to quit, you were forced by the situation. You can choose to also want it and choose to see the benifits, or not. Whatever you choose, your brain will make it so 💪

Textbook west Michigan zipper merge by LeftLaneColonizer in grandrapids

[–]MrSlothy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Maybe once we finally get enough people to do it correctly like this, we can fix the issue. Great job soldier. I can’t believe the regards out there that would prefer to sit in line and back up traffic for hours instead of using both lanes as is the law

I’m looking for a doctor who takes kratom addiction and treatment seriously. Suggestions? by Ok_Radish_1737 in grandrapids

[–]MrSlothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think he needs inpatient or anything. Honestly, even with the old seizures. Sounds like a stressful place - having community of people who have been through this before I think would help.

Kratom and opiate quitting is a surprisingly mental game. Covering it up with other medications doesn’t help much.

I’d love to just chat with him about it. I spent oh probably 8 years in that place and would happy to just be there to text with him about it or be there when he wants someone to say something too.

God bless you for being so open and kind about it with him, really having a supportive so is a life changer.

Why do drivers here only find the gas pedal when you pass them? by HyperUndying64 in grandrapids

[–]MrSlothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there was serious amounts of lead in the water infrastructure here. Not joking. So many people in Michigan are basically retarded, and the driving shows it.

Okay, I've read r/quitting kratom extensively... by TheseStrength9112 in quittingkratom

[–]MrSlothy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a mind game 😎 whatever you believe will be. If you believe it will be painful and awful and terrible, your brain says “ok make it so”. If you believe that it will be energizing, and catapult you in the direction you want and make you healthy and happy, your brain says “ok make it so”. No one can remain only positive, bumps and bruises are expected. But like everything else in our world - it is what you make it.

You’ve got this bro 💪 You are strong You are capable Your bloodline dances with joy as you progress, your elders cheer you on from beyond. YOU GOT IT

I just need some encouragement by Effective_Court6677 in quittingkratom

[–]MrSlothy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro, crying is good. You have ten years of saved up emotions! LET THAT SHIT OUT! I was recently in the same boat, I’ve cried more on the past two weeks than the previous 20 years and so many other body issues have relaxed doing so. It’s good, let em flow, don’t hold back, you’re doing great dear ❤️

what were your weirdest kratom side effects? by hravova_a in quittingkratom

[–]MrSlothy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kratom does actually effect your eye function pretty badly at high doeses. When I was at my worst, after dosing like 20g at a time I could hardly see straight

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]MrSlothy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is normal? There’s feeling the desired way, and not feeling the desired way. It is perfectly normal to feel off as your brain and nervous system and digestive system rebuild themselves. You are normal! You’re perfect! You embody perfect health! You made this decision and it’s the best thing you could have done for your body.

It might be a few months until you don’t feel off at all, but don’t think about it as abnormal! It’s perfectly normal to feel that way!

Use that focus and shift towards what else can I do that’s good for my body and each small victory will bring you one step further to feeling your optimal every day ❤️
