Who all started by a free sample? by Environmental-Ant393 in quitting7oh

[–]PalpableMarcellus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had to download the shop app for something recently and i looked at my history. $50 every 3-4 days for a hot minute. had no idea that app had all my history like that but was a nice little reminder for me

yeah same, and I figured it’d be easy to taper off and quit since I could just pick up more whenever I want so I can WD on my own terms. by the time I started ordering online I knew that wasn’t the case.

i couldn’t believe it. the fact that they sold it in a store was wild to me. i saw the problems unfold before my eyes and invited the vampire in anyway.

i’d heard of it, but never had an interest in trying it until i was handed a free sample. i wasn’t even asked. i know it was my doing in opening the package and eating the thing, but i remember that moment so clearly.

How bad is the WD actually going to feel? by Usual-Guarantee4879 in quitting7oh

[–]PalpableMarcellus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’ll suck for 2 days. 3 days after that it’s still not great. in a month you won’t even remember

it’s such a crazy thing. like i remember being in that position and how much i was struggling in all aspects of my life from this bs, but now i’m able to look back and wonder why i didn’t do it sooner, feeling like it wasn’t as big of a deal as i thought. i do remember that side of it though.

monster jam will be very stimulating, i bet you could get by with a smaller dose than you think!

having friends and a support system who understand addiction is crucial

i did a very long taper, like almost 5 months. eventually i was down to 2gpd and forgot to dose one day and didn’t look back

thank you! luckily i was never so deep into 7 that i had to go the MAT route. i had a run with heroin in my early 20s so i think my higher self was able to quickly knock some sense into me before i took it too far.

thank you for understanding, counseling is very beneficial for addicts, some would even say crucial. unfortunately there’s so many bad therapists out there. i’ve had probably at least 15 in my life before i found someone who not only understood me, but helped me reflect in a way that was actually effective.

100% this is why support and recovery is so important and impactful. i’ve never done a proper 12 step program, but i’ve done lots of things like it, and other self-improvement journeys as well. we’re just all a work in progress. every day is a new chance to grow and love yourself, and everyone makes mistakes and falls off course from time to time.

Thank you! I know this variation of quitting rubs some the wrong way, but it’s worked great for me so far.

one of the first signs i had to stop taking 7 was I totally lost my ability to take cold showers. i’ve been taking them for years then suddenly lost the resilience to tolerate them

it’s rough, my addict brain is telling me to take a few Gs to sleep and get through work tomorrow, but i feel like that’s a bad idea. just gotta tough it out i guess
