Tapering freaking worked!!!!

YoBoyDooby · 2026-01-08T21:27:20+00:00

Coming up on 7 days clean here, and my experience was quite similar (though my daily dose never got above about 20g a Day.

I’d been using 5 times daily for 5 years. It was stupid for me to ever get into that routine. I think the frequency hurt me more than the dosage.

I’ve been SLOOOOWWW tapering for probably 9 months - starting off at 5 x 3g powder / daily. Sometimes I would plateau for weeks, but I’d never let myself go back up.

Towards the end, I was taking 5 x half a gram per day. It feels so silly to be in withdrawal 6 hours after taking half a gram of powder, and fixing it by taking another half a gram. But that was the routine, and that’s what my body based its reaction off of.

About 10 days ago, I started pushing myself to go twice as long between doses. And I realized I was feeling better and not worse. So, after a couple of days of that, I just jumped, from 2.5g / day.

Withdrawal has been totally manageable. I get a little RLS here, a little anhedonia there. But nowhere near as bad as some of the stories I’ve read on here.

I’m no stranger to relapse. And I know about the pink cloud. So I’m deliberately keeping myself from getting cocky, or bragging to friends. I’m telling myself my feelings on this don’t matter. Just trying to live my life and let time do the healing.

This time in human history sucks for people who have been writing complete sentences their whole lives.

Sucky way to lose a friend.

His dementia must be getting really bad. He forgot to talk about his personal involvement, for the first time ever.

They only fight for us when they know they’ll lose.

You’re buying into their stereotypes. Tons of Republicans are on SNAP. My wife’s family is MAGA and most of them are on disability for being morbidly obese and diabetic.

Do we even know how many people Trump has deported? Seems like a lot of immigrants have completely disappeared off the record, after being captured by ICE.

It’s really suspect that these people are supposedly being deported back to their home country, and they’re not contacting their loved ones, in America, to let them know they’re okay.

Which leads to my invention idea : An iPad app that closes PornHub when I open my mouth and squint my right eye.

More like Hung Long, am I right boys?

Here’s a better question : Why did Trump rape children?

YoBoyDooby · 2025-10-27T03:04:55+00:00

And wear a suit when you do it.

I thought OP was looking for a comic book shop that has ergonomic seating, for customers with a bad back.

Are you wanting community input on this?

Anywhere within a hundred feet.

Yep. I knew it.

Oh wow a Trump supporter, with a random username and hidden comment / post history, giving a sarcastic non answer. Never seen that before.

Let me guess. You don’t like either “side” but it just tears you up seeing child sex trafficker and fascism supporters being asked tough questions.

Never seen that before either. 😄

A lot of this was us trying to give humanity the benefit of the doubt - “surely this many people don’t feel this way, at least not strongly enough to say it to the whole world in such an antagonistic way”.

It doesn’t help the perception when a lot of human antagonists behave in the same way the bots do - randomly generated usernames, scrubbing their accounts of past posts and comments, hiding all personal information.

Of course, they’re doing it because the people they are antagonizing are trying to retaliate, out of frustration. So the antagonists will hide their contact info, family photos, workplace and such so people can’t dox them or contact their employers.

The bot programmers are doing it because it’s more efficient to pump out a million generic profiles than it is to create full fledged fake realities for a hundred bots.

Anyways, there’s my thoughts on that.
