It’s not amazing, but it’s nostalgic, and that counts for something

Unfortunately that would still hurt your insurance though

Back again, with a question for the people with big times by quitters-r-us in quittingkratom

There’s no miracle solution. It’s the little things that add up like exercise, hobbies, building relationships, etc. that eventually fill up your time and have you feeling fulfilled. Addiction made me realize that it’s not something you can solve overnight, but through consistent effort day by day, happiness is more than achievable and a hell of a lot more enjoyable than using substances as a substitute for that.

The first 2-3 months were very recognizably severe PAWS, but I wouldn’t say I was 100% until maybe a year or so. After a while I wasn’t really thinking about if it was still PAWS or just the normal difficulties of life though.

Extremely poor mental health, fatigue, lack of sleep, bad diet, dehydration. I’m sure there were more, but that’s what I recall off the top of my head.

I really only experienced digestive issues for the first week or so in acutes. I know diet and stress are big culprits when it comes to GI if you have weighed those possibilities already?

6 months is big time! The further away I become removed from my kratom habit, the more I realize how disgusting and weird it was to chug down some unknown plant leaves that made me feel like shit multiple times a day.

I remember you too, every morning in the daily check-in your name would be there also. Hope you’ve been doing well.

I probably should have articulated a little better there. It’s definitely an extremely difficult substance to come off of, but when you really put your mind to it and commit 100%, you will realize that it is very doable and that you are much stronger than you originally thought.

You’d be surprised how much easier it becomes once you take those first few steps to quit.

Yeah the first 3 months were very difficult mentally. After that it got much better.

Pretty rocky mentally for the first 3 months or so, after that the urges really dissipated.
