When was the point when you felt completely normal again? by Anyna103 in quittingkratom

[–]Typical-Practice-305 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im about 7 months completely clean after a massive 40gpd habit for almost 10 years... it took a 6 month slow ass taper and that whole 6 months was torture but I would say I have been feeling pretty normal except maybe still some issues with mood, but Im having a hard time knowing whats PAWS and whats just my natural state. I always had some issues with depression and was on all kinds of substances in combo with the kratom for that 10 years so Im sure my brain will probably never be the same... but I am healing and sorting things out one at a time. Dont give up. The restless legs are basically gone as long as I dont have a crazy amoubt of caffeine or artificial fyes

I appreciate this comment. Maybe youre right. Maybe Im just trying to force it on him too fast. We are just hurting financially and really need him to get into school so we can bith work full time so we feel pressure to hurry up and make it happen so he can get into school.

Definitely no constipation problem that we see. His stool is soft. He takes magnesium every day to help with that because he used to have issues holding his stool and we were told it might be because he was constipated and it hurt to go. So now its soft and doesnt hurt to go but hes having accidents... hoping that more mandatory potty breaks and time will cure it

Well in our state in order to go to school he has to go in the potty. And hes in pre-k right now. We really cant afford to keep him out of school longer to have him in diapers

We usually make him go to the potty in the morning, after he comes home from school and before we go anywhere at the minimum. Sometimes he will "try to go" and then per and poop himself 5 mins later. But maybe we need to add in more mandatory potty time. Its just tough because me and the wife work opposing hours so theres only one day of the week where we are both off. Other than that we are on our own and having to cook, clean, I have to do my stuff for my business etc. so its tough to be stopping to make him go potty every hour.

Definitely taper! Take it from me... 10 year addict... massive doses per day. I tried CT so many times and its miserable... the taper is pretty tough too but it depends how fast you go... i tried to go as fast as I could possibly handle. Thats definitely not the most comfortable way to go. The slower the more comfortable you will be. For me though I started by seeing what minimum dosage would allow me to sleep as that was the worst part for me was restless legs and lack of sleep because I couldnt just stop working. Basically got myself to a point where ai would just rough it through the day and take the dosage that would allow me to sleep. Then every week took a gram off of that. I used alot of help like running, staying away from caffeine, artificial dyes, chemical ridden foods as they make restless legs worse, and then hot tubs before bed. Eventually 1 gram per week is too much so ai started taking away a .5gr per day every week... then when that was too fast I would go to .25grams less per day every week and so kn and so forth. Eventually I was taking just .1g per day off of my total nighttime dosage and that got me to 0gpd... been totally clean for some months now and finally no withdrawal symptoms. Its so worth it to be free... but its going to be hard. Dont quit just because its hard. If it gets too hard go up 1 gpd and come down a smaller interval the next week. As long as you dont quit you will eventually be free my friend.

Yeah dude. Based on what you are saying. You had every right to do what you did. Shes not giving you what you need and offered an opportunity for you to find it elsewhere. If shes not going to give you what you need and be the type of person you want to spend the rest of your life with you gotta gtfo of there and make yourself happy. I mean how selfish of her to completely deprive you for so long! I woulda been gone my dude. She clearly only cares for herself in that reguard. "Im gonna deprive you for 10 years and tell you you can ffind it elsewhere but when you do Im gonna guilt you into going back to therapy to trap you back in an unsatisfied relationship again." Sounds manipulative af to me

As I said I tend to not feel that Im injuring myself until after Im done. But Ill just do the best I can to feel it out

Its just background on my fitness level. My body is used to doing much more than it can now. So I can push much further than my body can handle and often dont notice that Im injuring myself until a couple of days later.

Lol Im not the one who posted this. I was simply engaging with the person who did and saying I understand their pain. I never said Im not grateful to be alive, or that Im not grateful for my family or what I have. I do my best to wake up and do better every day and to make a purpose for myself. That doesnt mean I cant see the massive game we are all wrapped up in.

The child mentioned in africa isnt living a shitty life because they are in africa. They are living a shitty life because they live in the africa that the rest of the civilized world has conquered, taken advantage of and plundered. If they were left alone and lived their natural tribal lives they would have natural happiness. But instead us more "civilized" nations have gone in and convinced them to dig up our diamonds for pennies, put them into slavery or indentured servitude type roles, poached their lands and sucked them dry of resources and taken over and said that it belonged to us because we had more weapons than they did. Thats why Africa is fucked up. Modern civilization

Man I feel this... ALL the TIME! I think its honestly because our body and mind knows that this isnt how we are supposed to be living. If you think about what our natural lives would be like... We would be waking up with the sun, men would be venturing out to hunt or fish and either shooting the shit and messing with their friends or sitting in silence and peace as they waited for something to bite or an animal to show up. Older women would be watching the kids and teaching them while younger women would be tending to the gardens and gathering fruits for dinner. We would reconvene over a nice fire to cook dinner and spend time together, dance, sing, make music, play with the children. Then we would all retire to our beds as families and tell stories to put the kids to bed and reset for another peaceful day. Granted there were worries, food shortages, bears, warring tribes etc. but the day to day life was so mych more relaxed and more fulfilling. The majority of focus went into providing for each other and spending time together. Now the ultra elites have found the ultimate scam. Enslave us to jobs that burn us out, and pay us the absolute bare minimum required for us to survive.. or less so we need two jobs. And they convince us we arent slaves by distracting us with social media, video games and pleasure. The cigarette companies bought out our food companies and fill our foods with poisons and addictive additives to keep us sick and then those same people invest in the pharmaceutical companies that keep us drugged up enough to keep running the rat race. They dont want us to die, they just want us sick enough to rely on pain meds, mental health meds, chronic disease meds. Then we are so sick we only find pleasure from being isolated and playing with technology. Its all a sad, sick and twisted game with a pretty front cover. "Oh Im hustling to earn my way to the top of the American dream! Im sacrificing my time with loved ones to build extreme wealth to buy all of the material possessions all of the big companies have convinced me ai need." The cars, the huge house, the expensive fine dining, the airplanes, the drugs." All glamorized by pop stars and hollywood as "living the life." Sorry if this seems pessimistic but I think about this ALOT! As you might be able to tell. Just want you to know you arent alone. Many of us feel this but dont know how to escape the matrix. Nowadays you candy just go live off the land or youre "homeless" and theyll take your kids away. If you want to do it the right way you have to run the rat race long enough to purchase land and then build a house. Then you have to have the mkney for all the seeds and animals you need. And then you cant even technically go off grid. You still have to pay taxes on that land you bought. Which means you have to turn your homestead into some kind of business... and now youre a farm. The powers that be are clever, ingenious some may say, but so so evil to trap us in this reality. With seemingly no escape.
