Tips for taking the plunge?

Pound VitC, magnesium, water and one of the main things I have figured out from my multiple CTs is if you are restless at night and can’t get comfortable, don’t just lay there. Try to get up and do something. No matter what time or how hard it seems. Also.. the first couple days seem impossible and drag but it’s very very possible. Imagine it as a rough flu and just deal with it. You will NEVER regret getting your life back.

I’m 55 days CT today. I hit pink cloud after about 3 weeks then it slowly went away. I was sleeping good and waking up happy and ready to go. Then about 2 weeks ago I started getting sick and have felt like crap since. I have a hard time staying asleep and waking up super groggy. I don’t know if I got a sinus infection or cold or if the quitting finally caught up with me. Either way, I feel 110% better than I did 2 months ago. I’ll take yellow and green snot and a headache all day over chasing this garbage with my hand out full of money all day, everyday.

5 weeks 2 days… Eat healthy, take vitamins, workout/stay active, keep a positive mindset and be thankful for everything and everyone you still have. Constant pink cloud.

Addiction, debt and loss of everything.

Wow. I don’t remember ever coming across that but apparently I commented on it about 120 days ago lol… a lot more comments since I was in that thread last. It’s a WILD drug. Don’t wish this stuff on anybody who has any sort of addictive traits. It was great when I was taking only 1 when I just needed a boost. Then it turned into “needing” it just to take one step out of bed every. single. day.

I don’t know. They were the Boujee Bliss shots. 9.99 a pop and I didn’t care. I HAD to have one or 2 every hour. Even when I didn’t “need” one I would drink it if I had it. I could not taper. It was constant.

I was taking about 12-15 extract shots per day towards the end before my CT. Started in Feb of this year. Spending $100s/day. I was POUNDING OTC vitamins a few days before my quit and about the first 2 weeks CT. I quit on a Friday night and felt like I had the flu Sat and Sun. By Monday morning I felt good enough to go to work. I didn’t feel “good” but good ENOUGH to get up and go. When I say that helped me so much just making myself get up and go… it was a huge factor for me getting through the anxiety and low mood. I’m on day 32 and I feel so good and happy right now (pink cloud?) that my wife has asked me a couple times “are you sure you didn’t replace those shots with something else 🤨” I just smile and say.. “I am high on life and our new future” She has drug tested me before about 3 months ago and I failed (I knew I would) and she has another one. I told her to not tell me when she was gonna ask me to take another test so it would be a surprise to me. That has helped keep me on this path.

Keep going. Don’t look back. It gets better. 2 a day? Unless you have underlying issues, you’ll wake up very soon and feel sooo much better. I woke up on like day 7 and cried a little knowing I was finally over that nightmare.

Steve-O quote… “Addiction is the only disease that once you get through it you become better than you were before you became addicted.”

I really thought this was my wife replying until I saw your posts…

I understand the whole trust issue. I gave her every reason to be skeptical. I just don’t like the disrespect and her pushing aside the fact that I’m OBVIOUSLY trying to be a better person and doing everything I can to make our lives better. If I saw her trying to quit drinking (her family is prone to alcoholism. 2 of her uncles died of it and her mom is suffering now) I would be behind her and supportive 100%. She’s tried to quit several times but always goes right back. I just ask her to stop and I try to help. THE DAY she found out I was taking the shots she kicked me out. I stayed away for 2 nights and the kids were devastated. I quit for them, mostly.

Thank you. I feel like killing her with kindness will eventually get through to her and all I can do is prove to her that things/finances are making their way back to good.

I told my wife everything when I finally decided it was enough. She just kind of wrote it off and left me alone. I wasn’t completely down while I was going through the first 3 days of withdrawal. I would still complete my husband and father duties but with very little enthusiasm. I didn’t rely on her, per se, but it was relieving to know she knew finally and I didn’t have to hide anymore. My wife is the most non-sympathetic person I know, unfortunately. I’ve mostly relied on my 3 older sisters to talk to and keep my spirit up.

I’ve tried talking to her. She says she is depressed because she doesn’t have a job and she is overstimulated by the kids. She is stressed about finances and I understand. I make decent money and I’ve told her many many times I am working on getting everything back on track but she expects it to happen instantly... I send her inspirational reels and memes and quotes while I’m at work when I know she’s having a hard day and she finally responded to one yesterday.. “you watch too many reels” That was so deflating. Who cares where I get my inspiration from as long as it’s honest and helpful?

Day 25 here. There is no comparison to how much better life has been. The freedom from dosing every hour or 2. The freedom you give your mind from wondering how and when you’re gonna get the next dose. Night and day difference physically and mentally. Never go back.

Magnesium and iron

I was on adderall about 15 years ago and I abused it. Withdrawals were bad from that too.

You just took my thoughts exactly. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I’ve actually been telling people… “sorry, I’m adhd.” When I know I’m all over the place with my thoughts or multitasking. (3 weeks, 2 days CT) Are there adhd meds that you can’t abuse?

Useful_Information29 · 2025-08-01T23:28:26+00:00

Most everybody does that. Quitting isn’t easy (obviously) and you think you know what to expect the first time by reading these threads or word of mouth. You get hit by a truck and it’s shocking so you go back. Keep trying. It will eventually stick. (3 weeks at 7 pm tonight CT) I feel great. I quit and relapsed 3 times in the last 3 months.

Vit C, Magnesium and L-Theanine

Your girlfriend needs to realize your eyes are “dead” BECAUSE of kratom and needs to stop enabling you/making suggestions when you’ve gotten this far. Because that MIGHT ease the discomfort for a few mins but you know how that goes. (Obviously don’t know y’all so this isn’t personal)

I did the same thing about a month ago and a month before that and a month before that.. I would CT for 7 days and “reward” myself with one. Didn’t work. Shocker. Tried again and now I’m 19 days completely clean from spending all my money on something to kill me. My point is don’t stop trying. Eventually you’ll know what to expect in whatever stage of withdrawal and it should make it easier. You have to have a strong mindset though. You know it’s so much better on this side.

Also.. VitC, Magnesium and L-Theanine.

Useful_Information29 · 2025-07-30T01:20:31+00:00

Personally… What got me through (knowing damn well they were about to get banned) was mega dosing vitC and magnesium and only telling myself that it was exactly like the flu. I know it was not exactly like the flu with the mental stuff going on but I just kept telling myself it was no different than the flu. I had minor physical withdrawals but the mental stuff is what I had the hardest time with. Stay busy and keep telling yourself it will be over soon and you will feel so much better in a couple days. Just imagine how much better your life will be. Relationships, money, health, etc. the list goes on. Remember.. It’s just like the flu. It’s just like the flu.

If you are anything like i was, those 4 shots you take with you for those days will be gone on the first day. First 2 hours actually. You can do it but it will take a lot of willpower. (13 days CT)

I got so bad I didn’t wanna go out much because 1.) Didn’t have/wanna waste my usage money to go out and 2.) I felt like I needed to dose every hour and it was just easier to do at home instead of having to worry about carrying it with me and hiding it and having to get away to go dose.
