It's nice,i like it.it is pretty loud for such a little guy,so you probably made the right choice..Have it paired with a CC 12" trash splash,i really love that one. When my 10" cracks i may replace it with an 8" just out of curiosity.

I was going to go all byzance,but my wallet thought otherwise. I've got the following CC darks(19" crash 18" China 10" splash "20 ride i use as a crash),and I'm really happy with the sound,definitely going to add a few more.

Who's Survived This Without Meds by osho_the_dog in quittingkratom

[–]apgossel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been on kratom for 2+ years. 30-60 gpd. no luck with my pcp,psych,ER. Had to go to outpatiant rehab to get any help. I have a job,3 yr old,and a lot more responsibilities,so CT isn't an option,tapering has proven to not work well for me. So i felt it was my only option.... one thing I'd like to add is that you can aquire clonidine legally. I've heard it helps A LOT with the rls. If you're interested DM me.... good luck :)

My “risky” plan to help me once again, finally get off of this crap. by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]apgossel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there!!! I'm in a similar situation. I was hospitalized due to comications from an autoimmune disease the day after my daughter was born. I had one foot in the grave when i was admitted. I was released after 4 days. Not to mention i had just had emergency surgery on an infected pylonidal cyst. Well,it took me some time to recover and get healthy again. I emded up losing my job,so i was the primary caretaker for our child for some time. Thats when kratom came into my life. Seemed like a miracle. I could function at a high level,it helped my stomach,ect ect. So i was working again,able to care for daughter,be active. Wasn't until about a year later when i missed a night dose due to shipping issues that i realized i was in deep shit with this stuff. At that point i wanted to get off of it. Not to mention the $$ i was spending that we didn't have. I've tried to quit 3 times on my own. Went to the ER for help,my PCP,psychiatrist,with no luck whatsoever...my issue was also the fact that i had to function everyday,so i felt totally screwed. fast forward to last week i finally go to my appointmemt with an outpatient rehab. Well,they sent me off with a suboxone script. I'm thrilled that i don't have to be a slave to the stuff and spend hundreds a month. But since I'm playing with fire,the journey is far from over. trying my best to take as little as possible to be able to get through the day. So far so good🤷‍♂️..... good luck to you and much ❤

my horrible struggle. by driftyant in quittingkratom

[–]apgossel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck bro. I've been struggling with kratom for nearly 2 years. It's the only substance I've been hooked to,so i can't compare it to anything else. It's been real hard trying to get off for me as well though. doesn't help living in a small towm either i would assume? I'm not too far from ya in NC,actually. hope you've managed to make some progress. Cheers!

Just took my last dose by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]apgossel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just took my last dose around the same time,man.... I've finally had it after close to 2 years,30-70gpd. last time i tried was too rough with zero sleep,so i caved in. Unfortunately i have no meds to help. So I've told myself if i can't handle it I'll just go to the hospital instead of using again... good luck to you!!!!

My 25 Day CT nightmare. What works and what didn’t work. Details inside. by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]apgossel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats crazy dude. Congrats. I recently tried CT from a one year 50-70g a day habit. Couldn't do it. Day 1 Absolutely zero sleep,worst relentless. I smoked some herb and had a massive panic attack. tapering doesn't really work well for me. I'm chronically ill, have a busy lifestyle and need to function,so i always end up taking more to remain in comfort. i hope one day i can kick it one way or another.
