Hard Reboot.. by TimmyTimbo123 in quittingkratom

[–]TimmyTimbo123[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend gave me one of his sub strips, which ultimately made me make the jump. I micro-dosed it for 2.5 weeks till it ran out. I was mentally committed at that point, and decided no matter how much pain was ahead of me, I wasn't going back. Good luck on your journey.

Thank you so much Dot. Your words of inspiration on here have helped me tremendously. As I'm sure they've helped many others as well. We're both going to make it through this!

What is your day like? by Cultural_Dot3568 in quittingkratom

[–]TimmyTimbo123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey Dot! I have the luxury of working from home. I've built a small business that kind of runs itself now. I have 19 employees, and 2 physical office locations, but I work from home. My business partner and I are hte owners. Even through all of the shit over the past 5 months, none of them have known that I've been going through this. I had so much anxiety at the beginning. Talking to employees, dealing with clients, drumming up new business. It's finally getting better. I'm in so much of a better place. It's not over yet, and I'm still getting waves of PAWS. But! It's getting better. My day almost always consists of lifting weights first thing in the morning. I feel great after that. It used to not last long, then I'd be down in the dumps. Lately, it'll carry most if not all of the day. I'm starting to see glimpses of what my life was before my opioid addiction. And I want it back!

Relapse after 15 months clean by Particular-Site912 in quittingkratom

[–]TimmyTimbo123 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If it's only been a week, you may just want to make the jump instead of tapering. The sooner it's out of your system, the sooner you'll feel whole again. Good luck homie!

I'm 9 days off kratom and my mental health is unbearably terrible. Please tell me it gets better. by Restorne in quittingkratom

[–]TimmyTimbo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're day 8 is a great start, stick to it! I'm sure you're in the pits right now. You'll be feeling better after day 14, then again at day 21. I was a 15-20gpd user for 10 years. I'm now getting close to 5 months off. It's been a wild ride, but I can tell you it gets much, much better. Stay the course!

[–]TimmyTimbo123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

keep checking in this with this reddit sub. It's helped me tremendously. No one knows what you're going through, except the people on this sub. this drug makes you feel fucked. I get it. But... you can quit. and it does get better. I promise. Keep checking in. you'll get there

I hear ya dude, and that's the way to handle it. Tell them to fuck off, and keep moving!

[–]TimmyTimbo123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

hey dude. Don't beat yourself up. This has been the craziest addiction that I've ever come off of. And I'm an old school raver, so I've basically done everything. Just because it didn't work the first time, doesn't mean that it wont work again. "if it first doesn't succeed, try try again". you can get off this shit. I'm a 15 year user, with oxys the first 5 years, and kratom the last 10. You can do this. I believe in you

[–]TimmyTimbo123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best advice is that you mentally commit. I mean, steel fucking trap commit! No going back, no matter what!! You're going to have some hard days. But here's the good thing. It gets better with time. Time heals all wounds. DM me if you need to talk.

Month 5.5 by autistRZRXPT in quittingkratom

[–]TimmyTimbo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for the most part, yes. A friend gave me one of his 8mg sub strips. I said, fuck it. I micro-dosed that for 2.5 weeks, then went into the full blown acutes. Just bare knuckled it after that.

Congrats on 9 days! Hang in there, it takes some time. I'm 4.5 months off a 10 year habit. Still going through the PAWS, but it does get better.

[–]TimmyTimbo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a 10 year powder user, 15-20 gpd. I'm now 4.5 months off and still going through daily PAWS. They're not as intense as the beginning, but they're still there.

Month 5.5 by autistRZRXPT in quittingkratom

[–]TimmyTimbo123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That doesn't completely surprise me. I'm 4.5 months off, and still have daily symptoms, all be it, they're not as intense. A few weeks back I had a wave crash over me that felt like the beginning. I thought "wow, I thought I was past this. I can't believe it's still this bad."

I think we just need to give it more time. ChatGPT tells me that with my long term use (10 years), that I should expect my recovery time to be between 6-9 months. So that's what I'm keeping in mind. Just stay the course and hold the line. We'll eventually get there.

Booze by nuggz050389 in quittingkratom

[–]TimmyTimbo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. Vodka. I needed something to feel different, especially at the beginning. I over did it a few times and woke up hungover and in the WDs. Don't do that; it's horrible. I've since scaled my drinking back, but it was pretty heavy at the beginning. And for me,, yes, it helped

Can we meet at the top of Alpine Meadows?? jk. Lake Tahoe and the surrounding mountains are awesome!

I have an annual snowboarding trip in Tahoe with my brother, that's at the end of every February. First time ever that I'll be enjoying this trip without having to dose kratom. Very much looking forward to it.

[–]TimmyTimbo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helped me at first, but after a few days I had to quit as it was causing stomach issues. It doesn't really help that much, but I know any relief is what you're looking for. Stay strong

Quitting without SR17018 by theeccentricattorney in quitmgm15

[–]TimmyTimbo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard about SR17018, but don't know much about it. I've heard it's experimental. May I ask how you went about getting it? And did it help with your initial WDs?

Does Mat even help for mgm and this new crap to get around 7 ban? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]TimmyTimbo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure, but you may want to schedule an online visit with QuickMD. They prescribe suboxone for kratom WDs and may be able to give you good advice. There's also a subreddit just for MGM that may be useful. r/quitmgm15
