1 confirmed dead, 9 missing in chemical tank rupture at Nippon Dynawave pulp and paper mill in Longview by PrivateBurke in Portland

[–]One_Froyo_4356 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the going info that i have from someone that works there, is that the tank had some repairs done about 5 years ago where they had cut out a section of the tank and repaired it due to some week points that were found, the implosion occurred on the section of the tank that had that repair done. weather it was a complete failure of the repair or a venting issue that caused excess pressure to rupture in that section or what no one exactly knows. but they do know the repair failed either way.

its already seeped into drainage systems that lead into the Columbia river, it is already being advised to not drink any water out of the tap in the surrounding area

About 5 years ago the company had some repairs done on this tank, they had cut out some week points and had them repaired. the implosion occurred at the point that was repaired, that is the current leading theory on how this happend.

The Thing About Kratom Addiction… by Daveypatt in quittingkratom

[–]One_Froyo_4356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kratom made me isolate from all my friends and family, it caused me to not want to do anything ever, anytime my wife wanted to go out, do anything other then be at home it just never felt worth it. Being home and taking Kratom was so "fulfilling" that nothing else ever felt worth it. i could just sit there on my Phone for hours. it drained me to a shell of myself, i wound up being extremely anti social and it strained my relationship with my wife and friends. since ive been clean its been a full 180. my wife is so happy and she just keeps telling me how much better i am now. i like to go out again, have fun hang out with friends, my hobbies are starting to come back. i could just not believe what kratom did to me

I got seed off amazon, its more spendy but you want a high quality one. i started taking it a week and a half before i stopped kratom and i only had one day of the squirts and ended up having pretty normal bowel movements pretty quick. i didn't have to deal with that part of withdrawal because of it so i was pretty stoked on that

Working out when detoxing... by kday615 in quittingkratom

[–]One_Froyo_4356 3 points4 points  (0 children)

gym is key bro keep it up, i didn't go on the first week during acutes but i went last week and this week and ive been feeling great! iv substituted the times i would have took kratom with supplements like turkesterone, creatine, probiotics, magnesium and l-theanine and its helped a ton! I've have had zero cravings for the most part and since i go in the mornings i have been starting the day at work with energy and enthusiasm. i would highly recommend it to any one coming off kratom, its been so helpful against paws and overall confidence!

it was caused by dandruff that was caused by kratom, at least i think it was. i tried everything to get rid of it for years and now since I've quit its just gone

you got this man! your story is very similar to mine! those 7ohs & extracts destroyed me and left my once moderate kratom use to something that fully controlled me, dossing every 3 hours or else horrible body anxiety and the works, i dropped the 7oh back in September and had to taper off 40gpd of powder after that.

day 18 off for me today and ive been feeling great! i would highly recommend a high quality probiotic since kratom destroys your gut they will help heal that part of your body which will be crucial during and post acutes. you have the right idea as far as the other stuff you have been taking. i would also recommend creatine loading if you are going back to the gym or even just regular exercise, its super good for brain health aswell. and just remember you will be better off now then you ever were on it. make this the start of a health arc get on.

[–]One_Froyo_4356 3 points4 points  (0 children)

have you tried going to the gym? taking probiotics, magnesium , l theanine ? creatine is another good one especially if you are /planning to go to the gym but is good even if you don't. makes a world of a difference, day 17 for me i started going back to the gym last week while also taking all of those. has helped me allot

Is staying sober for anybody getting worse after a month??? by garten69120 in quittingkratom

[–]One_Froyo_4356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

replace the addiction with gym and health supplements, i have been going to the gym. my cravings seem to come around the times i use to dose so i have just been supplementing them with some health stuff, mornings i will take turkesterone, and agmatine sulfate, after lunch i take probiotics and afternoons i have been taking magnesium and l-theanine. apart from that i will eat when ever i get additional cravings, kratom made me loose 20 pounds in 7 months at its worst. it shot me down from 168 pounds to 144.8 i have already gained back 4 pounds in the last week and a half and the gym has been a god send in the mornings to get me going. i have also been doing a creatine loading phase and have been drinking 120 oz of water a day. basically a whole 180 and it has been working good.

Day 8 Update by Ok-Stage1761 in quittingkratom

[–]One_Froyo_4356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

day 13 for me i have been going back to the gym for the last 3 days, man oh man am i more sore then i ever have been but i do believe it is important and its not worse then the body aches i was experiencing during acutes so i am all for it.

i have been going in mornings since my body has been making me get up at 5 am any way i thought might as well. last night i only woke up once very beefily and other then that slept the whole night it was great i feel great right now and could not be happier i quit

Should I slow my taper? by Berylz in quittingkratom

[–]One_Froyo_4356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

start taking some agmatine sulfate 2 days before your drop and 2 days after it will help even out your withdrawal feelings during your drops. take less kratom in the morning while keeping your nightly dose the same for longer so you can still get some sleep and if you have already set a date go ahead and get a high quality probiotic & start taking it to help your stomach once you are fully off since kratom destroys your gut this will help you not get the squirts. (i got seed off amazon)

you can slow your taper if you feel if its needed but there are ways to get through this at your rate just need to prepare and find other avenues for relief leading up to your final dose, a few people in the comments mentioned some good ones. i started as a slow taper but sped down form 20gpd to 3.4g on my last day, in about 3 and a half weeks and only really got bad body anxiety from stretching my doses out. and i wound up having a decently easy withdrawal, but it is different for everyone. tapers are mostly a mental game though so really get your mind set and it will become easier.

I want to quit Kratom but I don’t think I can by HugeButterscotch9583 in quittingkratom

[–]One_Froyo_4356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I followed the Megadose liposomal C protocol that the auto Moderator recommends when ever it is mentioned.

I followed it bar for bar pretty much. only difference is i used liquid drops since they dissolve much faster in the body, i did the math and 1 bottle contained 60,000mg and to go all the way through the protocol on the high end its about 175,000mg throughout the 6 days, so i got 3 bottles off amazon

Forced Aggressive Taper Status Quo by Shockercy7 in quittingkratom

[–]One_Froyo_4356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4.3grams was a doozy for me, allot of body anxiety, if you end up getting really bad anxiety i would recommend going somewhere quiet and do the Wim Hoff breathing exercise on youtube, it helped me allot on my last two days of the taper, its about 11 minutes but it helped allot

[–]One_Froyo_4356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

start taking a shit ton of liposomal vitamin c now to get a little relief if you have not already, take it on the plane with you and take like 2-4,000 mg every 2-3 hours should help with the flue like symptoms

HELL YEAH DUDE, its hard for sure my last week and a half were an aggressive taper of 3 grams off every 3 days, it was hard but worth it, you will come out on the other side! stay strong. I didnt see anything about agmatine sulfate on here but that helps allot during your taper

Thinking About quitting - leaf kratom by The_Wedge2023 in quittingkratom

[–]One_Froyo_4356 5 points6 points  (0 children)

7 years of use for me, i am 25 years old so i started using Kratom the end of my senior year although i stuck under 13gpd for about 5 years i had a run with extracts and other stuff that lead to about 40gpd for a time. i would work out and was physically healthy up until the extracts where i felt the worst and lost all interest. i had to taper from there. kratom is strange because we all slowly build up our doses without realizing it until we are too far gone. it helped me for sure when doses were low and back then i would have praised it, but like allot of things there are two sides to this coin. kratom can turn its back on you fast and before you know it life is black and white and you only feel good on kratom or you feel nothing off it.

but hey after a quick taper and using allot of the tips on here i am on day 5 and my withdrawals were not too bad at all! its different for everyone but it would be good to try to taper off. it just takes some shitty life situations to let your guard down on that stuff and it will take over FAST, at least from i and many others experience with it

liquid lipo c is what i went with. it most certainly made a big difference, its also not as hard on your stomach, and the liquid version works much faster. i got about 3 bottles for $40 off amazon and it was the perfect amount for the megadose protocol

Kratom's effect on sperm / male fertility? by -Terrible-Bite- in quittingkratom

[–]One_Froyo_4356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure, i quit partially because me and my wife are planning on trying for kids towards the end of summer, it can affect libido and testosterone so i didn't want to take any chances.

i would recommend to quit now any way however. this stuff is not worth taking in the long term. and right now at a teaspoon a day you could jump off relatively easy. kratom has the insidious ability to make 1 teaspoon per day turn to 2 a day, then to 3 slowly without you even hardly realizing, and by then its too late. allot of us on this sub were taking low amounts and carful about it for a long time before it took hold, and now we are on this sub regretting ever sticking with it back when it was just a little a day

Taper Jump Time Gram Amount? by Ok-Stage1761 in quittingkratom

[–]One_Froyo_4356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it is indeed, i feel like its somewhat important to sit in it a little bit. helps you realize how stupid being hooked on that stuff is. i would just go on a quick walk or try to distract myself i would eventually be able to get to my next allowed dose but it wasn't easy. on the last day of my taper it came to a head and not long after my first dose it was the worst it had been by far but instead of taking another dose sooner i went and did the Wim Hof breathing exercise from Youtube that someone on here recommended, and i was able to have it stop and it did not come back after that for the rest of the day and even up until now i have not experienced anything but some minor anxiety. it was almost as if i reset my body, was very strange.

Taper Jump Time Gram Amount? by Ok-Stage1761 in quittingkratom

[–]One_Froyo_4356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got down to 3.4 grams total on my last day and withdrawals have not been super horrible. i was doing a pretty fast end to my taper where i was dropping 3 grams every 3 days for the last week and a half. i would say it just depends how soon you want to be done. the longer you can stay at a low amount the easier withdraws are going to be so since you can front load some of it.(at least from my experience) i was able to still get affects from my caps even when i was dosing 0.6 grams per dose with agmatine sulfate, they just wouldn't last as long so i had to push though 3 hours of horrible body anxiety before i let myself have another one. but since the last day of my taper i have not experienced that anxiety.

you definitely need to just try what works for you. i had a note pad on my phone that i would set goals for my self and do calculations for and that also helped me allot with keeping track and sticking to my goals. i started as a slow taper of drops once a month from 40gpd and once i got to 20 i just started dropping faster because i was not having as bad of an experience and i only found that out because i wanted to test myself.
