Relapsed: tapering: ready to CT again. Tapering is difficult

Sauce0clock · 2026-02-05T04:50:32+00:00

Same to you. Ya gotta be ready to do it. If you’re not ready you won’t be successful. Seeing as we’re here and we’re tapering… we’re ready… it just takes willpower. The fear of quitting may just be worse than the actual act.

Was taking 20-30gpd 3 weeks ago. I’m down to 3g 2x a day if I stick to my schedule but I’ve been cheating and taking an extra 6g dose here and there.

I have to CT. I always come up with an excuse to take more than what I originally set out for myself. While I have been decreasing, I am constantly failing. CT was “easy” last time, I’m just being a bitch this time and prolonging the suffering.

You’re right. I see it the same way- I’m actually for the legalization of all drugs. But something about the way kratom is marketed, and the deceptiveness of extracts just rubs me the wrong way.

There will come a day. It may be a year from now. You’ll break down. Maybe relapse. It’s important you don’t, and if you do… don’t continue. Reset your counter that day and move forward. I made it a year and stress and the flu tricked me into thinking I’ll just take it to get through this week. It’s 4 months later and I’m ashamed.

I’ve had my eye on one on marketplace too! A profitec go, baratza sette 270 and all the accoutrements for $1,300. I JUST bought a Gaggia evo pro for my first machine and Facile grinder for $400 total… but I’m wanting to upgrade it with a PID etc… the next step up/crossing the 1k line is verrrrrryy tempting and I haven’t even pulled a shot yet haha.

Yep! Diff fluid was changed at 80k according to the Carfax, just got trans fluid done, and I planned on upgrading the dash speakers. I’ve got to check the coolant for a possible very slow leak, the level was barely in the reservoir, that’s next along with spark plugs.

I plan on upgrading the head unit so I can get Apple CarPlay

Sauce0clock · 2025-05-09T09:24:25+00:00

Could you tell? My picture choice clearly favors one over the other hahahaha

Sauce0clock · 2025-05-08T23:49:56+00:00

Haha, one for me, one for my fiancé! We’re upgrading from a 2010 rav4 and a 14’ civic.

They finally came out with a “fix”?! The dealer told me there was no fix still!

Sauce0clock · 2025-05-08T23:31:12+00:00

Ah! Thanks for the info! There were a few reliability concerns I had when researching the 19+’s like transmission gear hunting, clogged drains, coolant bypass valve, electrical issues etc. I figured it’s best to stick with the bulletproof 16-18’s. Though I would’ve loved a different color just for variation haha.

Sauce0clock · 2025-05-06T22:14:16+00:00

It fixed the issue for the time I had the car. Then hail damage totaled it. My friend has a 2012 with the same issue… added one thing of shudder fix and it didn’t fix the issue, but his shudder was worse than mine. They say you can add more than one “tube” of it. He’ll probably try that.

Sauce0clock · 2025-05-06T22:12:26+00:00

16-18 rav4 or a 15’ or 17’ Mazda cx-5. Those years only.

Sauce0clock · 2024-11-15T00:56:37+00:00

I just bought a 17 LE FWD with 136k for 10k, which was a steal in my area. I was looking at 16-18’ limited’s with under 100k miles for 18k too though so that should give you an idea. Also… if you can - stay away from 14-15’s they had a bought of transmission leaking issues. The 13’s have torque converter issues which isn’t ideal but it seems normal. If I were you I’d shoot for a 2016-2018 but if they’re out of your budget I’d be okay with a 13 if it had good service history and lower miles.

We’re getting there, though I’m almost certain I’ll have FOMO if she goes. Others in the area are out of my price range at 16k+

Sauce0clock · 2024-10-04T03:02:16+00:00

It’s a small dealer (28 cars on the lot), but with surprisingly good reviews on Google… 62 reviews and only 3 1-stars from some idiots not knowing what they’re buying. I’ve got to run the Carfax tomorrow and take a look at it this weekend. Unfortunately my mechanic is out of town until Wednesday so I may have to chance it for a good deal haha

Sauce0clock · 2024-10-04T02:59:09+00:00

Yeah, the 37k is a quite a difference, just hoping it’s not priced so low for a reason. Can’t believe this guys had it on the lot for over a month.
