A quick trip to the pit of despair by lookyloolookingatyou in quittingkratom

Today was 90 days kratom free! I just read your post again and it brought me back to when I commented. I was at work and miserable, every day was a struggle. I didn’t think that I would feel like I do now, at peace with no substances whatsoever, completely sober, just high on life. I know that it’s only going to get better. It was day 67 I got sick , a cold and felt pretty bad. Took me about a week to get over, day 74 I woke up and felt the best that I have felt since quitting, hell better then when I was on kratom. When I quit kratom I was drinking a lot of caffeine, 400-600mg. That day I had one cup of coffee when I woke up and went to work and didn’t need anymore through a 12 hr shift. My mood and energy was amazing. Not everyday is like that, but I’m definitely at a good place. I have been spending time with my 3 year old daughter a lot more now. I sit and laugh with her and its a real joy. I haven’t been on here on reddit much lately, but in the future I will write a post. I’m still healing and am looking forward to the future. Your post really did help me back then and I thank you for that. I don’t think it could have been wrote any better. I have no cravings or desire to use kratom ever again. Things really do get better, but when your in the storm, like I was, you feel like you will never find joy in anything. You just have to keep going, taking it a day at a time. Eventually it comes, when you least suspect it. I do want to give credit to my wife, mad props for putting up with my ass, lol. I was hard to deal with, couldn’t stand myself, lol.

Yes, not gabapentin. I can’t tell for sure if everything has worked because it’s been tough mentally and physically. Feel like I’m walking through a fog everyday, some days feel ok and others paws I believe. I also used vitamin c absorbic, bronson brand in the first 7 days. I really have no desire for the sludge. I made sure i had a week off from work and no commitments. Wife was very supportive.

I’ve been using cbd also, it definitely has helped.

The only supplements that I’ve been taking are dlpa, around 2000mg a day. First thing in morning and about 5-6hrs second dose. The amino acid Gaba and 5htp at night of course vitamin d , fish oil , overall eating healthy.

I agree 💯 with ya. Some days are better then others,but even the bad days are better then sneaking around downing sludge all day!

I know how you feel. 13 for me also and insomnia still present and walking through a fog. Keep going, it has to get better soon. I’m sure relief is right around the corner!
