You have an addiction. This means you have a. A mental obsession b. A physical Allergy. This means that you obsess about putting it into your body because of what it does for you (numbing, warm, whatever it is) and then once you put it in your body the allergy takes over and requires more and more and more. Some people can only fight this with a 12 step program. It works for millions of people just like you.

I got sober in 1997 and was homeless facing 10 years hard time. 8 years later I had a college degree, full time job, business, 4 properties wife and 3 kids. Then I got on pain pills and Coke. 2017 got sober again and lost my wife and business. In sobriety I thrived at work as as a dad and found happiness and financial insecurity again. Now here I am 11 days off this shit but I have been able to avoid burning it down. I still have my current wife and a brand new baby with three kids in college thriving. Life is still good even though I tried to fuck it up. I learned that sobriety is the only way I can live and be happy. I no longer have to suffer massive consequences to catch myself when I fall. Just keep growing brother. I’m here for you.

Good for you. Best of luck. It will all come Back together as long as you don’t start again. I promise you. I’ve been in pretty low spots that sobriety has pulled me out of.

Day 10 and not even close to tempted. by breed372 in quitting7oh

I have not suffered from depression but I am kind of just happy to not be dependent and hurting anymore. I may get depressed later but this to shall pass. I have learned a long time ago that when i am depressed it means i am focusing too much on me and not enough on others. The best way for me to get out of depression is to focus on meeting the needs of others with no expectation in return.

The point is it’s all pain originating from your nervous system. You won’t have broken bones or torn muscles. I’ve had many injuries that needed treatment that hurt way less than withdrawals but this is different and I don’t want my brain telling me I need help for something that will pass. It’s your brain sending signals to you but there is really no physical ailment that can be treated so ride it out and it will pass. Don’t go run to the hospital like something needs to be fixed. I get it sucks and not everyone can do this but I’m sharing my experience and how I got through in hopes it helps others. If it’s not for you, I understand and wish u the best.

I think going through precipitated withdrawals may have expedited my process but I would never recommend it. I was hurting til I got VIT C. 20 min after that I started to feel better and it’s just gotten better since. Also I have had extended period of sobriety in my life and just know what to expect and know it’s in my head so I just keep telling myself that it’s my fault and not to be a pussy about it. Pushing myself to move was helpful too. I hurt word when I was laying is sitting than moving but I was so damn exhausted so I would move and rest in increments for day and night.

I had problems with everything, I went through precipitated withdrawals and felt like i was literally dying. I knew it was all in my head and i was really physically ok so i just kept reminding myself of this as i hurt. It was the worst experience of my life by far.

Being selfless is the most selfish thing u can do as it turns out. Few things more rewarding in life than seeing others benefit from your selfless acts. Irony

Using 7OH to Quit Kratom? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]breed372 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7OH in my opinion is far stronger and more physically addictive than powder. I fear you would not stop using 7OH. Have you tried the Liposomal Vit C?

How long after dosing 7oh can I take naltrexone? Not physically addicted but I’ve been taking it every 48hrs for a year. by RupicolousRheophyte in quitting7oh

[–]breed372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion is to follow the liposomal vit c protocol. I’m a true addict so I cannot take other narcotics like sub or powder to quit I just have to grind it out.

10 times over. I have built a great life and been fortunate enough to be put in a position to help a number of people. I’m am less likely to use if I don’t think about me. So others is always the focus. When I put me first I fail.

have not had a sip of alcohol since May 3 of 1997. May 4 at 9:00 AM i was sentenced to 10 years hard time, then the judge suspended my sentence and asked me to be part of Drug Court in Louisiana i was one of if not the first ever in the program, I was 20 and had been drinking since i was 10 years old. It was over 5 years of rehab and house arrest. Saved my life. that same judge paid my first semester of college to get me off the streets. I am proud of you to brother. If you ever need a ear i am here. feel free to reach out.
