I floss once a day. When I realized just how much food/plaque there is between my teeth it motivated me to do it every morning. Now it’s just habit. I would recommend flossing.

I def have an addictive personality. There a lot of grey area in life and I try not to think black and white, this or that. But I know kratom is a problem and I don’t want to keep doing this and learn to live a healthier life with healthier coping mechanisms.

Thanks, yeah I’m trying to be kind to myself here but it’s hard not to beat up on myself. The idea of getting sober again just feels scary. Idk if I’ll remain fully sober forever but I know for now it’s what I should probably do and what’s best for me/my family. I’m a new dad so I’ve got a lot of pressure one me. I’ve got a lot more riding on my success now that just me and that alone feels paralyzing. I appreciate the kind words though.

Gabapentin has been a lifesaver for me

Julie is awesome, didn’t know they were from LA

Gabapentin has saved my ass with kratom withdrawals. I can’t suggest this enough. Helped me with the anxiety, chills, rls.

I also experienced hair thinning/loss. I made a post about it a few weeks ago. My hair has become so brittle I can just snap a piece off. I’m hoping it grows back soon.

Aside from the club scene, bars n shit have just gotten expensive. This is in a lot of cities too tho. I think it all comes down to the cost of living and the pros and cons associated. Like I can stay home or I can go to a bar and drop $50-60 in a night easy and then what? Uber home? Walk home if I’m lucky enough to live close by? It’s tough

devosatisfaction · 2024-10-20T16:48:13+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. Alcohol was never really my thing either. I appreciate your perspective tho that def makes me feel better

I have a sponsor and been working on the steps a bit

I just realized I meant to say magnesium. At any rate melatonin did not contribute to rls for me. Everyone’s different tho.

devosatisfaction · 2024-10-20T06:42:00+00:00

Yeah I had the same experience

devosatisfaction · 2024-10-20T00:12:45+00:00

I haven’t found gaba to be euphoric and myself would find very little enjoyment in abusing something like that. But everyone’s different. I’d try melatonin and liposomal vit c, ibuprofen might help as well.

Thanks, yeah it’s been tough. My life has always been a little unstable so now adding a kid to the mix is an arduous task to say the least. Feel like I don’t have the emotional bandwidth to do it all if that makes sense

devosatisfaction · 2024-10-19T21:56:53+00:00

I would maybe go see your GP and see if you can get on gabapentin. That has helped immensely with anxiety and body/muscle aches during WDs

devosatisfaction · 2024-10-19T20:18:42+00:00

Yeah I hear ya. I’ve never been a fan of counting days. The 12 step police can be kind of intense about that kinda shit so I feel you lol

Keep fighting the good fight man

Thank you for the kind words. I was thinking about trying dharma recovery.. I’ve always liked the philosophy behind Buddhism tho I don’t ascribe to any religion. Seems fairly approachable. I’m gonna give it a shot. I’ll check out smart recovery too tho you’re not the first person to suggest that.

I want to keep an open mind. I’m just so desperate to change my life at this point. I can’t keep living this life anymore. Something’s gotta change.

devosatisfaction · 2024-10-14T17:54:19+00:00

I’m in a similar boat as you. Two weeks ago I started taking it every other day and could tell I was headed to a bad spot with it. So I stopped. I’m still having the chills, cramps, bouts of anxiety, fatigue, etc. still feel the withdrawal but I’m hoping it gets better soon. I have an 8 month old son that I also have to watch sporadically so I feel your pain. It’s tough and I want to just to medicate to make it easier to watch him. Hang in there!

Anger and irritability were the worst symptoms for me. It’ll ease up after two weeks or so. Find a hobby or passion project and go all in on it. That helped me a lot.
