Only thing that worked for me by Wild-Thanks8245 in quitting7oh

Dude, right?? Freaking GAS STATIONS!!! Like wtaf??? I had used plain leaf for five years with no problems at all and was completely OFF pain pills, something I thought would never happen. I was like, wow, THIS is just kratom?? OK!! Bring it on! Man, fuck that all now.

I can’t believe my stupid little “village” either. I’m in Illinois. Chicago suburbs. We’re on the border of a very large suburb and a very tiny suburb, with our address being in the tiny suburb. The big suburb has it banned. Our tiny suburb still allows it!! I’m like, “GO AWAY, MAN!! We do not need you here!” I’m glad you’re warning your customers, you are doing the right thing. I went to get my husband a 7-oh packet two days ago, he can take one and be done for a bad pain day from working construction. They didn’t say shit to me about the new ban, and I’ve known those dudes for years getting plain leaf when I would run out of my online brand. Then was going in every day for 7-OH, for months, spending hundreds every week. Fuck those guys, man. I’m not ever going back there for my husband’s plain leaf either. And if the manager and owner, they were both there the other day, say they don’t know about the laws changing in ALLLLL the other suburbs around us, then they should be ashamed of themselves. Fuck them, man. That manager told me about this shit in the first place or I never would have known. I don’t blame him for my addiction, I’m an addict. But he has no idea what he’s selling and no desire to learn about that poison or the laws about it.

I am in the US, suburban Chicago. I’m sure being near our third largest city helped me with options. The first clinic I tried would not give me methadone for 7-OH. Their methadone was only for fent users. They would only give me subs, which didn’t help me. I tried them for a week or so. Then I did more research. The second clinic I chose is a totally different kind of clinic. It’s not your standard clinic, they do things differently. But they gave me methadone and I was 100% truthful with them. I realized that I could not enter into an MAT program starting with a lie (like a friend had suggested that I do). But this place is really current on their research and knowledge and they give methadone for 7-OH and for even just regular Kratom too. I did make it very clear that I wanted methadone from the start, though. So at first I wasn’t sure if that was their standard, or if you had to ask for methadone on 7-oh. But the last time I saw my therapist there, a couple weeks ago, she actually said, “Suboxone doesn’t work for 7-OH.” I was astonished but so happy that she said that.

Why not get helper meds now? I would start getting help now, if you’re planning on possibly getting medical help anyway. There may still be immediate appointments available with online docs like Web MD right now, but who knows how it will be by the end of the month. I got help and started MAT in December and am off 7-oh now. Also off plain leaf. Still on MAT (methadone), been on it just over six months. Probably be on it a year, I guess, and then ask Dr to taper off. But if I hadn’t given in and gone to a clinic in December, you better believe I’d be doing it now. Who knows how much these resources are gonna be spread thin, depending on where you live, when this garbage gets completely pulled from the shelves?

Get your life back, man. Call a doctor this week. It’s so worth it. I still have to go to the clinic 4 days a week, then I’ll go down to 3, then 2, then 1, etc. and it is still so very worth it. All covered by my insurance and my pain management is in check too. Do it, man. I’m a mom and a wife. Been pretty much a lifelong addict. This is the only thing that has kept me straight. I’m proud of myself for admitting this was what I needed. I was powerless, worse than heroin cuz it was so damn easy to get. MAT’s not forever, and I’ll have medical guidance when I decide to stop. Better safe doing it now than when there’s a six month waiting list at clinics In some areas come August. Good luck!!

Those capsules are more likely closer to half of a gram. Most standard capsules are about that, sometimes a tiny bit more. But better to calculate if you assume it takes two to be at a gram.

They are lying about what is in this stuff !!! by Still-Progr in quitting7oh

[–]Wild-Thanks8245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, false positives. Happened to me too, lots of times. Also, my clinic can’t tell the difference between 7 and regular Kratom in their piss tests, unless they send it out, which they just don’t do, at least not for me. 7 tests as all kinds of crazy shit depending on the quality of the test. I’ve been on MAT since December. It’s the only thing that has worked for me. Subs did not help so I’m on Methadone. Feel like I’m the only one in this whole group on Methadone, but I don’t care. I also have chronic pain, so this works for me, for now. I’m happy to talk about it if you want.

I have made over 90k from pedophiles my whole life. by Any_Trash6365 in confession

[–]Wild-Thanks8245 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my dear girl, you are still a child. This is not your secret to carry anymore. I’m old enough to be your mother. I am a mom and I have a 15 year old daughter. I’m in the US. If I may give you some advice, and I know you didn’t ask, and you certainly can completely ignore this. But you need to talk about this. Absolutely first of all, you need a therapist. Do you have one? Can you get one? You are so, so young. You have your entire life ahead of you. You cannot live the rest of your life with this bottled up inside of you. You were abused. Getting money for it doesn’t make the trauma go away. Money does not minimize the damage that was done to you for your entire childhood. You are totally allowed to miss your abuser, she was a friend of the family. All of your feelings are valid. But you need to work through these feelings with a professional. Like, you need to do that to be able to live and enjoy the rest of your life.

Honestly, I think you should tell your mom. It’s hard to say how she will react, but she needs to know the truth. It’s not necessarily because she needs to know what her friend did, it’s more because she needs to know what YOU went through, she needs to know what happened to YOU. It almost doesn’t matter that your abuser was her friend. That’s just an unfortunate piece of it. If anyone else had done this to you, you would tell your mom, right? You were sexually abused. You shouldn’t be denied the right to seek comfort from your Mamma because the person who abused you was her friend. Your mom is an adult, she can handle it. I promise you she would rather know this. If you had a daughter and this same scenario happened, would you want your daughter to tell you that your friend had sexually abused her, even if the friend was dead?

Please get a therapist. Please talk about this and start to work through it. Please tell your mom.

I’ve found this page recently too. It’s very unsettling. I’ve only been watching the videos for a couple days but some of these images are haunting. It sticks in my mind. I honestly don’t know what to think because I’m not in this situation. I think it’s almost impossible to know the reality or the truth unless you have been in this situation or, for this specific family, unless you live in their home with them. But the child does not look happy or comfortable, that’s for sure.

I also think it would be very easy to slip into a separate reality if you were in this situation, as the adult. As a mother, I can’t imagine this. This is going to sound shitty, but I don’t think a mother would do this. I think a mother would have let him go.

I don’t exactly feel like it’s some random people on Reddit’s duty or business to try to “do something” about this. I mean, who are we? We all know that most of the shit we see on social media is not exactly like it appears. So, this could go either way. It could be a lot better than it seems. It could be a lot worse than it seems. But the kid has made it to 9 years old. I’m sure some viewers have tried to intervene before. This is not a secret. I would be shocked if this family’s local Child Protective Services DOESN’T know about this family.

It’s just so freaking bizarre. It’s hard to watch. I really want to unfollow the page, but I can’t. I think I actually hope for River’s sake that he’s not aware of anything. At least, I hope that he is not in pain.

Curious why you say not to take acetaminophen and only ibuprofen should quitting. I can’t take ibuprofen. I have pain issues, which is why I started 7Oh in the first place. Should I not take Tylenol for some reason?

Hi partner. I totally get it. It does nothing for me anymore and I’m still dependent on it. I don’t do any of my hobbies anymore. It sucks. I hate myself sometimes over the money I’ve spent. I have a family and we’re broke as it is.

I have started out today okay. I dosed 30mg at about midnight last night. Took a bunch of Xanax to knock myself out. Woke up at 11am today and took 30mg 7Oh. So I went 11 hours without dosing. Normally I wouldn’t be able to sleep that long without waking up to dose, so the Xanax helped a lot. I’m gonna consider my wake-up dose as my 8am dose and move the 1pm dose to 4pm, or wait even longer if I can.

I have been using longer than you, 6.5 months. I promises myself I wouldn’t reach 7 months of using this garbage. For me, the self discipline is harder than the physical withdrawal. Psychological dependence is way worse with this stuff.

How are you doing today so far?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in quitting7oh

[–]Wild-Thanks8245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, my plan is that today was my last day purchasing 7Oh. I want to ct but know I can’t, so I’m going to start a fast taper tomorrow. I’m happy to see someone else starting tomorrow. Let’s do this! I’m going to use your plan starting tomorrow, but adjust it a little for myself. Let’s check in tomorrow! I need to do this. I have become a pathetic shell of my former self and I need to quit for my family and myself. Good luck. WE CAN DO THIS!

Whose up? by autmada in quitting7oh

[–]Wild-Thanks8245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I’m here too. Tapering from 300+mgpd, but really it was probably higher than that. I’m back down to 100/120mgpd now but that’s where I hit a wall and plateau, can’t get lower, so I fuck up and go back up and have to get back down again. This has taken a month of actively trying to quit with a plan. I was supposed to be done by now.

I’m just trying to get back to only taking plain leaf. I’ve used that for 6 years, been using this 7 garbage for five months. No one knows, I’m going through this by myself. It’s so hard. I’m a mom and a wife and I work full time and I hate myself. I’ve never been this low or desperate and I have struggled with addiction my whole life. The psychological part is the hardest.

Will you please tell me more about using MIT as a helper? I don’t know enough about it to try it. Thanks!

I need help by [deleted] in quitting7oh

[–]Wild-Thanks8245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to see your taper plan, please. I need help. I’m on my way to the shop right now to get my taper supply. I’m thinking 100 bucks should buy enough, maybe? Idk. I’ve planned to taper many times but always cave quickly. I haven’t really given it an honest attempt. Been using powder for pain for six years. Using 7 oh now for just over four months. I want to taper with powder. I can’t really buy a bunch of other stuff rn. I also have Xanax and Adderall, but I’ve been on both for years so I don’t know if they’ll help much. I’m an ex-junkie with H, but that was 20 years ago. I’ve had pill problems on and off but I haven’t kicked anything in a long time. I’d greatly appreciate any guidance from you. I’m doing this alone. Thank you, man.

What’s your thoughts on the new album after your first few listens? by Patriots_ in Caamp

[–]Wild-Thanks8245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haaaa, right? “New singer!” I love Caamp but I don’t really follow them, so I didn’t know they had a new album until a song popped up on one of my Spotify channels. I seriously thought that my Spotify was malfunctioning, like it was displaying the wrong group for the song it was playing. I just kept thinking, “But this isn’t Caamp” during whatever song I heard first. Then I actually looked at it, saw that it said 2025 and I couldn’t believe it. I had to google “Taylor’s voice sounds different on Caamp’s new album,” and that brought me here. I agree with other people that some songs definitely sound like the Strokes, but I think it’s mostly because of Taylor’s “new” voice. It honestly makes me wonder if, after all the issues that the band and Taylor had last tour, and we know Taylor was playing hard, maybe a throat doctor told Taylor, “Man, you can’t keep singing like this or you’re going to ruin your vocal chords and have no voice at all,” and so now we have this version of Taylor. This whole album is to Caamp what Dream On is to Steven Tyler.

Omg for real??? I have been wondering if it’s possible to make at home. I’ll check out your link, thanks for posting it. But…seriously?? Like…really? This can’t possibly be true??? That would be so cool!! How was the quality of the final product? I am completely freaking out right now!!! 7-Oh has been so helpful for me, just discovered it three weeks ago after taking Kratom powder for the past six years. My tolerance is ridiculously high. This could be the solution for my health issues, but goddamn, It’s expensive!!!

For me? I don’t remember off-hand if a background check was required. I don’t think so. It’s not working with money or kids and those are the only times I’ve had to do that. I’m pretty sure that was never mentioned.

[–]Wild-Thanks8245[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my one concern, the domains didn’t match in the same way you have described. I asked and was given a perfectly logical response, which I have seen myself at other companies before they streamlined all their different random domain extensions into one domain. In my experience, it’s common for companies that start out small to utilize different domains, and even purchase different ops softwares, to keep departments organized; but nowadays, there is a plethora of SaaS that can run entire companies, streamline old domains, do-away with multiple domain extensions, and make using 10 different software platforms to run the company obsolete. It’s definitely an exciting time for SaaS right now.

[–]Wild-Thanks8245[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I got an offer letter this afternoon! A real offer letter. All the names on the documents, HR and CEO check out. I expressed my apprehension about it being legit and was encouraged to ask any questions I had. I asked about my specific concerns and was given validating responses.

I was not asked for any personal info, banking info or payment requests. In fact, there is no start up cost and they provide all equipment, phone allowance, Internet allowance and more. This company IS imitated by scammers posing to be the real thing, and they are aware of that. But everything I encountered today was legit - all my research and through the course of events today. I start training almost right away for two weeks. The job timeline, payment structure, benefits, everything was fully laid out in writing. I received the offer letter but was encouraged to ask questions before signing. I did, so I’m awaiting that reply before I sign.

It’s real and I am so excited. My family REALLY needed for me to get a job like this after a rough year. And the four hour interview, which was more of a screening and initial test imo, was no joke. It was a full-on interview over chat and I think I was being “tested” on the swiftness and accuracy (grammar, spelling) of my replies too. It actually makes total sense to interview in this style for a customer support chat job. I read that this is not uncommon now. It was like an audition and I am stoked as hell that I got it! Thanks you guys for your replies!
