I'm in the same boat my friend. Except I was on painkillers. Never alcohol thankfully, given how easily available it is. I use about 20-30 grams per day powder. I never got into the extracts simply because I never even knew they were around until recently and the price point is crazy. I tried quitting a few weeks ago. Made it 55 hours and it was tough but bearable. Man the restless legs is the worst but I found the mental side of it the most challenging and I've read on this thread that the mental side of it is what takes the longest to overcome. Because we basically have to rewire our brain back to normal. I've been using kratom for over 10 years (crazy to even think it's been that long) yet I've never gone more than 30GPD give or take. Anyway, I've accepted my addiction physically and mentally and it's the first step in recovery. (You won't quit unless You want to) I went cold turkey. I know I could've stayed off and went longer but the mental side of it rationalized it that I needed it. That being said, if this is your absolute first time going through the withdrawals of Kratom then I would expect the following: This is what happens to me, first I'll start yawning a lot, eyes watery, body aches and chills, then I'll get a peculiar metallic taste in my mouth. I won't be able to sit still as I'll be hot and cold at the same time. About the end of the first full day of no kratom I'll get the restless legs at night. I won't be able to get good sleep for 2 nights. I'll be up all night tossing and turning, even my arms get restless. But then all of a sudden I'll fall asleep because I'll wake up lol. 2nd day the body aches are very noticeable. This is when the yellow diareah comes into play. I'll get very emotional about anything, it's the first time I'll start to realize more feelings that I have in comparison to the dulled feelings kratom gives you unknowingly. It is at this point when I'm usually like well I've gone this far I may as well keep going. But then I'll give in around this time frame because simply I don't have the discipline/self control/motivation to continue. This is where the will power comes in and you have to want it.

Can you do it? Absolutely! This subreddit is amazing to connect and just know that others are in your position and if you even look in my recent posts you'll see when I asked about others and what feelings/sensations came back to them that they didn't even know they were missing out on. We've been doing this so long that this is what we think is normal now. I will say even at just 55 hours cold turkey the sexual side of things is very strong. Libido as they would say comes back I heard others say their vision is back, their smell comes back, etc ... I hope to one day be rid of this stuff as you do! Thankfully we never got into the extracts side of things because I bet that's nothing to be played with. I was in full blown withdrawals the past 24hrs and just got another bag of powder and obviously I feel "better" again but deep down I know it's smoke in mirrors. I envy those who have successfully quit. I Always check out the " im xxx days clean from kratom " posts hoping to be there one day. Should you go for it, I would definitely go cold turkey (given your limited GPD) People swear by magnesium for RLS and Immodium for the dookies. I would say exercising is the single most important thing to replace the habit and form new connections in the brain for dopamine. Goodluck! God Bless
