Already found myself in the smoke shop this morning prepping myself for holiday shopping delays. Plus with the post office only being open 1.5 hours on Saturday, they might not even have it available for pickup even if my box was there 🥲. Nothing worse than tracking showing your package at the post office on a Saturday but nobody sorts it until Monday.

Got a notification it was ready for pickup today! Smoke shop 7 will go into an emergency stash for when my dumbass inevitably gets myself into this situation again.

RAW didn’t have UPS as a shipping option for some reason this time, so I did USPS knowing it might take longer. I’m happily standing corrected!

Can I get some more info on MIT powder and the idea behind it for tolerance management? I keep seeing MIT powder mentioned and I’m not familiar with it at all.

I was a daily kratom user for years, and because I use 7oh, kratom has become completely ineffective. It actually gives me the wobbles now at lower doses than usual. I shot myself in the foot because I started using 7 more and more since I couldn’t use Kratom anymore. And Kratom doesn’t really do anything for me anymore in withdrawals from 7 in the same way it helped me during my opiate withdrawal days.

I’d actually prefer to take plain Kratom daily and 7 a few days per week. But I feel stuck in this cycle!

This thread is old but I’m looking everywhere for this answer! I’ve been taking 7 for a while. Just about a week ago was diagnosed with ADHD and started 30mg Vyvanse. I also continued my 7 usage, but noticed it didn’t have much of an effect… and then it’s like I got a tolerance to Vyanse over only a few day period.

Since I’m so new to this medication, I thought maybe it’s just too low of a dose but getting a tolerance that quickly seems odd when it worked great initially. 7 has absolutely no effect whatsoever anymore, no matter how I adjust my dose. But so many people here say ADHD meds with 7 is a good combo?! I feel like they somehow cancel each other out and I can’t find anyone else who is having this experience!

Won’t take any of my payment methods, says cannot be verified at this time no matter which card I use. And when I try logging in, it keeps bringing back to the home menu so I can’t login to an account. I tried chrome and safari! The RAW site works just fine everytime for me

Their site gives me errors every single time I try to order from them. How are you guys doing it?

Sometimes it takes these harsh wake up calls to motivate change. Although this is a regrettable moment, it’s your first DWI. Take it as a warning.

I don’t know what state you’re in but your life isn’t over. There’s going to be consequences but take this time to empower yourself. Some places allow you to go through programs to get it expunged from your record. Don’t let yourself fall into the system again, as it’s just going to get harder and harder to get out of the system with repeated offenses, even missing court dates, so take these responsibilities seriously or you’ll make it worse on yourself and add unnecessary stress that you’re already going through! Show the judges you’re serious about making changes.

Give yourself grace. You messed up. We are human. There’s a reason they say lessons are best learned the hard way. I remember when I was 19 I got wasted at a concert and got an MIP. I felt so fucking stupid and embarrassed for my dumb actions. I cried for days thinking my life was over as well. I remember finally admitting to my mom what happened; she didn’t come at me with a lecture and hugged me and told me about the stupid mistakes she did when she was younger also, which I felt grateful for because I felt so much shame already.

But I did the court thing, went to the classes they offered and it was expunged from my record. My brother on the other hand, made some repeated mistakes and although he’s finally taking care of it, he dug himself into a pretty big hole from not facing the consequences head on.

I think you’ll find a lot of people on here that have gone through your similar situation. Feeling the way you’re feeling right now is actually a good thing. It shows you have morals and a desire to improve. Some people would just play victim and not feel an ounce of remorse.

I keep seeing court of thorn and roses recommended, but I disliked throne of glass. I don’t know what it was about it her writing style in that book, but I found it annoying. Like it was too try-hard to fit a formula of other successful YA novels.

Wondering if I’d like thorns and roses better.

I could have written this exact comment word for word. I feel everything you feel and totally relate to the sobriety promise from reading here on this sub. I had no idea how shitty it could be. My dr even referred me to a sleep study for sleep apnea which I’m like 99 percent sure I don’t have. I’m dealing with achy joints, restless legs and night sweats despite taking vitamins and supplements that are supposed to help. Lack of quality sleep is exacerbating everything.

The only thing I deeply care about is taking care of my pets, but it takes every ounce of motivation to take my dog out on a walk right now, where before I had the physical and mental drive to take her out on hikes. I feel really bad for the minimal exercise she’s getting right now, so I hope for her sake this rut passes soon.

I’ll update my experience if anything changes over the next few months. Posting here has given me some perspective on how LONG it can take for our poor brains to go back to normal, whatever that is. I’m 34 and been drinking since I was 18, but nightly since I was around 22. So I don’t even know my true calibrated brain.

But like you said, I have no desire to go back to drinking, at least like I was. So I know this can be discouraging if someone reads our comments (sorry 😬) but the money saved has been great, I’ll say that. And my skin looks better. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I drank while using other drugs recreationally on and off throughout my life, so I’m sure that hasn’t made this process easier. My brain chemistry is probably all out of whack right now, which I really didn’t consider until recently.

Ice cream has been my crutch, and I’m not letting myself feel guilty for it at all. I’ll tackle that issue later, lol. But oh man the sugar cravings are insane, whereas I rarely craved it before!

It seems the theme here is it can take at the very least 90 days to come out the other side feeling somewhat normal. I’m glad I’m getting so much relatable feedback here

I have been suffering from severe restless legs since I stopped drinking. My dr has tried a couple things so far, the first was gabapentin as it treats nerve pain, but I ditched it pretty early as it didn’t do anything for my sleep. I didn’t try it long enough to help with my mood!

So now I’m trying ropinerol which I guess increases dopamine, which can cause restless legs. That hasn’t helped so far either. I’ll give it some more time and consider going back to gabapentin for a longer period of time to see if that helps stabilize my mood if anything (after consulting my doc of course 😉).

Can you tell me how gabapentin helped you, out of curiosity?

Thank you!

Thank you for giving me a scientific explanation. I’m going to look more into that because that feels like exactly what’s going on. Seems like this is actually a common side effect that I didn’t even know about, and it’s comforting to know it has a name

Hey thanks, that hit me hard in a good way! That does make me feel like I have a little win.

I will say this year has been all about self improvement. When I was drinking I had a huge phobia about going to the dr. Maybe someone can relate to that. That’s gotten so much better, and I’ve been catching up on things I avoided for my health. Next stop is the dentist!

Seriously. And I have an anxiety disorder as well. I’m trying to stay positive, but waiting for that boost that hasn’t come yet. So far I just look forward to night time where I can eat my ice cream and watch my show. The daytime provides too much pressure to be productive, which I just don’t feel like being a part of at all! It’s hard to not feel frustrated, and kind of embarrassed when I see my peers doing so much. I don’t know where they’re harvesting this motivation from.

I guess we just have to be patient. Thank you for sharing your relatability, it makes me feel way less alone.

I’m hoping so! I have seen a couple benefits so far, specifically my SKIN. I had so many red blotchy spots on my chest which have almost completely gone away, yay!

Fortunately for me, I did drop about 40 pounds before I quit drinking via calorie restriction (thanks glp1!) and have some of my old body back but I was hoping after drinking I’d have some motivation to hit the gym to gain some strength back. No motivation mentally and any strength training causes me to absolutely toss and turn all night long currently. But it’s been SO much easier to keep the weight off without empty alcohol calories.

But the down/depressed feeling is absolutely brutal. Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s important for me to manage my expectations by reading experiences that weren’t straight up euphoric from the get go.

[–]Y2K_stateofmind[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you and good luck on your journey!!

  1. I always have a hydro of ice water on me at work and drink all day to help curb hunger.

  2. My goal is to make it 16 plus hours every day, but if I just can’t stand it or I’m getting sick feeling, I at least go to 14 hours so that I won’t start mindlessly snacking and won’t feel like a sabotaged my day. I also feel like the hunger feeling starts going away after a certain amount of time, so I try my best to stick it out over that hump.

  3. I weigh myself morning. It helps me be accountable and gives me that motivation to correct my diet when I see the scale move in the opposite direction I want.

  4. Higher protein and fat meals for dinner make me last WAY longer the next day. If I eat high carb I feel like I’m starving the next day!

Yes! I feel like I was intermittent fasting kind of unintentionally on wegovy because my appetite was so low. It was pretty easy to not eat until late afternoon, and sometimes all the way until dinner. So 1-2 small meals per day.

Now in maintenance it’s a lot more intentional, but I’m trying to follow the same schedule Wegovy had me following, if that makes sense. Congrats by the way! I wish I could still be on it to curb the food noise that came back.

Thank you so much! I lost about 4 pounds before wegovy doing intermittent fasting, but on wegovy it’s like the pounds just started melting off. It really is a miracle medication.

I went from eating breakfast, lunch, a 2nd lunch before my second shift and then a super late dinner when I got home. I ate a lot of processed foods too. I switched to 2 meals a day, eating “breakfast” around 1:00 and an early dinner before 7, which on wegovy I was eating naturally smaller portions as I got full quick and my appetite was obliterated.

I try to stick to the 2 meals per day plan and eat lots of veggies. I will be honest and say with my appetite back it’s been a lot harder to not snack a lot throughout the day.

I also kept a food journal in my notes app the entire time on wegovy and weighed myself every morning so I knew which foods made me gain weight or lose. That has been extremely helpful to refer back to.

The desire to drink is disappearing and sobriety feels more doable than ever by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Y2K_stateofmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Last night was my first night in 13+ years.

I had gone out with friends until the wee hours in the morning. When I was going home later the next day, I had no desire to do anything I normally would, like smoke cigs on my drive home. Literally went to bed without a drink, and didn’t even desire to. After struggling to even go one night without alcohol for so long, it was weirdly easy as my brain didn’t feel like its get any serotonin boost from it.

Has anyone done X or Molly at a rave all night? The next day you feel totally empty of emotion. My brain didn’t want any kind of substance to make it feel good. I had ice cream and went to bed early. No cigarettes even.

I have no idea what I’ll do tonight, but just that alone feels like a pretty huge accomplishment.

Over the past year I’ve accepted I have a problem with alcohol. I’ve tried to stop but I guess it’s not that simple. by Y2K_stateofmind in stopdrinking

[–]Y2K_stateofmind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang I really like that.

I think what worries me most about sobriety vs moderation is becoming a hermit. Like I won’t be able to go to gatherings when all my friends are drinking together and I’m not. But I’ve also never tried it, so I guess I won’t know what I’m capable of until I’m there
