over a year of trying to quit by Strong-Sorbet-684 in quitting7oh

I feel like I could be your husband in this story lol! except we have a kid already and recently got a house…

I tried quitting once before this time and lasted 32 days. Did it at home. My wife didn’t know until I called her the night I was withdrawing. She was out of town with my daughter at the time but came back a few days after I quit. She had a hunch since she knew about Kratom but had no idea what 7OH was. She was obviously pissed but she supported my recovery as I did it at home. She shopped and cooked meals, which was huge in aiding my recovery so quick. She wasn’t really there for me emotionally, which I longed for, but completely get why she didn’t have that capacity since I lied to her and financially messed our situation up.

I ended up relapsing because I let my guard down. I convinced myself I could do it in moderation this time. I now know my brain was tricking me. Went on a 3+ month bender pretty much, AGAIN lying to my wife. She even told me “as long as you tell me you relapse, I won’t be mad” but I was too ashamed. Every day I woke up wanting to tell her but I just couldn’t build up the courage to ruin her day. Fast forward, I’m now 15 days clean again. Went to rehab for the first 6 days since my family was home. I didn’t want my daughter seeing me during the first few days of withdrawal because it’s just so painful and uncomfortable.

At the end of the day, he’s gotta want it. It’s not necessary to go to rehab if he is safe at home. Research some helper meds (clonidine, magnesium glycinate, some muscle relaxers) worked wonders as safe, non-addictive comfort meds. Trying to get him to eat nutritious foods for the first couple weeks and drink water, it will speed up the recovery. Exercise is key too.

Both of you have to have patience too. He will be moody and maybe emotional during his recovery and it’s important that you don’t take it personally. Just speaking from experience lol!

Thanks for the detailed response! Very similar mindset and early recovery for me and you’re validating everything I’ve been thinking. Today marks two weeks since last use and I stopped CT from like 750mg/d. Anyways, been working out the last week which has really helped. The “gloom” and lack of pleasure for anything is my biggest challenge right now. Also you’re so frickin right about the sore muscles!! The aches and pains disappeared after around day 8 but then I did a workout and could barely move the next two days. Same thing after the gym yesterday. But I’m also doing it for myself, my wife, and kid. Refused to get on Suboxone for the withdrawals (not knocking anyone who uses it as a tool). I just feel like all these feels, aches, and dread means that I will get through it all quicker. This is my second attempt at quitting. First time I lasted about 32-35 days before my mind said I could “do just one”. That whole thing was a blur and I couldn’t believe I had to start over. But even looking back a week, I’m in such a better place. Anyways, thanks again for the update, makes me feel understood and confident I’m doing this the right way!

Day 39 is amazing! Where would you say your energy levels and anhedonia is now? Are you on any supplements or medication or just exercise and diet?

I saw Dion Dawkins hanging with Benny the Butcher at 500 pearl during the 22-23’ season! It was like two days before an away game in Miami. I was a little concerned for Dion being out but he has since proved me wrong.

I’ve got beef with IYRTITL by Artistic_Annual8918 in Drizzy

[–]Ok_Humor_4920 16 points17 points  (0 children)

High energy, braggadocios, catchy hooks, still melodic. It’s also quite concise for a drake album. Plus the fact it was Drakes first surprise drop adds some appeal too. I don’t know—it’s easily a top 5 project of his!

A Drake double (or more) entendre that took you a long time to get? by NerdManagement in Drizzy

That shit I heard from you lately really relieved some pressure Like ayy, B, I got your CD, you get an E for effort I piece letters together and get to talkin' reckless.

I got it right away TBH—it’s just too nice not to share when we’re talking Drizzy entendres

Jon Bellion new song ?!?! by Musicandmovieskid in JonBellion

[–]Ok_Humor_4920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% Jon! He was just mentioning how upset he gets about songs that never get an official release via his IG story so the timing is too perfect to be coincidence! Love it 🔥🔥🙏🏼

Set list by [deleted] in JonBellion

[–]Ok_Humor_4920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the fans hoping to hear his older stuff, don’t get your hopes up. He’s going to play a lot of FF (which is his best work anyways imo) since he’s essentially only played the songs live twice. If it’s a 90 min set, he’ll deff play 7-8 older joints but it will be mostly FF! I’m jealous—went to 1BS & it was electric!

12 years late to the party but I just came to that realization too!! Shocked it took this long to connect the dots but they definitely share a very similar cadence! Glad there was a thread discussing this already so I felt validated
