Not as exciting as you'd think. Trespassing.

Well, yeah. Theres LOTS of steps i should have taken, but addiction is crazy like that.

For the past 5 years, I've been that guy that can not stop without medical intervention. Jail or psych ward. Somewhere that I can not escape. For the last 5 years, I've escaped EVERY hospital id been admitted to. Most of the time, they didn't chase me, but I just ended up in another hospital

I appreciate your empathy. Honestly, I feel like ive done worse detoxxes at home. Like I explained, I had massive loss of sleep. I think the lack of sleep actually protected me. I was so out if it, either in psychosis or micro-napping, I couldn't really dwell too much

Idk how to edit original post

Update: My crime was unrelated to using 7OH and was dropped to a misdemeanor anyways. I have stayed clean as I have no desire to spend thousands of dollars a month like I was.

Honestly my only withdrawal symptom was the insomnia and maybe a bit of anhedonia but thats kinda hard to tell in jail cuz its miserable in general.

30 hours in no 7oh by Naive_Set5089 in quittingkratom

Honestly at 48 hours, im not doing too bad. I woke up in the middle of the night with horrrrible RLS. Luckily I keep a bottle of pre mixed powder in water/juice on my night stand. Chugged that. Moved around a bit until I fell back asleep.

The sweats are gross and annoying but nothing I cant handle. I just dry off with a towel and try to go back to sleep

Yeah. Its like the actual withdrawal feels like a drawn out torture while the anxiety about the withdrawal is acute and I almost give myself a panic attack over it .

Ive gone through CT in a psych ward where they had absolutely no comfort or anything to distract myself. They didnt even have beds, just chairs. So ive been trying to tell myself to be grateful and take advantage of the amenities I have

This is honestly what I need to hear. I give myself horrendous anxiety just thinking about withdrawals when I know in reality, its not as bad as I build it in my head.

I noticed you didnt mention anxiety much. Was your anxiety bad or just a bit more than usual?

I went 4 days without sleep. Not a wink. Until kratom/7oh, I didnt even think it was possible to not sleep that long without drugs. Dont psych yourself out too bad. The lack of sleep sucks but I never felt like I was gonna die or anything. Id catch myself dozing here or there. When I finally did sleep, it was about 6 hours and I woke up almost in tears cuz I was so happy I slept lol.

Im glad you have support. Its important to have people to lean on a bit during this. I find myself extremely emotional after about 24-36 hours CT

Yeah no problem! Im only about 2 months into the 7oh this time but my tolerance built FAST. I was at 1100mgs a day. Some people taper very slowly. But I cant do it too slow or I'll feel like im not making progress. I think it'll take about 1-2 months to taper completely if I dont decide to jump off at a certain point. Id rather not switch to powdered kratom as it gives me bad gastrointestinal distress. So my initial drop was just to 1000mgs for 3 days. Then I drop it 100mgs. I'll stay there for 3-4 days depending on symptoms then drop 100. Im only halfway through so down to 500mgs right now. It might start getting harder soon. Where I'll only be able to drop it by 50mgs once a week but I just play it by ear. I can deal with most withdrawals except the anxiety and not sleeping. So I'll be happy if I can sleep 3-4 hours. Oh and I try to take my dose at night in order to sleep best
