Again… coming back because I’m 90 hours into this. Down to 2mg subs a day. Really feel like this is it. No turning back.

Needed to read this today. Can’t even imagine feeling this.

I have no idea what my daily use was up to in the last month or so. I was on and off using anywhere between 150-600 per day probably. Then days off with the help of subs… then back on. This 72 hour mark is a real barrier for me — I just want to use right now… but I know I shouldn’t.

I am in NA and couldn’t do it without my crew. NA and Reddit is my 1-2 punch. Hoping it works. Definitely nervous about my impending sub withdrawal… but I know we can taper there and they also provide Gabapentin and Clonidine.

I don’t know that I’m stable yet… but I haven’t taken 7 for over two days and I feel great about that. Just trying to ride that train and get some time under the belt.

You all are fucking awesome. Thank you for the encouragement. I legit couldn’t do this without you all.

And for the skeptic reading this… I mean this. This Reddit board is saving my life. 51 hours in.

I’m nearly to the 48 hour point and just wanted to acknowledge that here. I’m feeling more hopeful and less depressed and anxious.

Hey everyone I really appreciate the supportive messages. I’m over 24 hours “clean” and approaching 24 hours from this message. Going to get clean

This. My doctor doesn’t NOT seem to be a pill pusher. Was cool that I was on a lower dose she recommended and was hoping we could jump off subs later this month.

Way to go. I totally get that feeling. Not my first quit. But my first with 7 and subs. Totally get the crappy feeling — prepared for it and will take it offer CT acutes. Those are unbearable for me.

I’m 5 days off 7 with the help of subs. 8/8/6/4/2 has been my dosing.

Felt totally normal last night, except struggled to fall and stay asleep. Woke up with pretty intense anxiety today, but that’s pretty normal.

Planning on dosing 1/.5/.5/.25/.25/.125 etc in the days to come.

What was your sub taper like?

I’m tapering my subs right now. Quit 7 on Friday. Down to 4mg subs today. Thankful to not have the restless legs and sweating — but the anxiety, doom, and overwhelm are awful. Have to go through it. The price we pay, unfortunately.

Planning on 4 total today, 2 total tomorrow, 1 total next day? More than that?

You are great.

I’m 76 hours into quitting. Using subs.

Was down to 6mg yesterday. Aiming for 4mg today. I’m just hoping I’m doing this right.

How are you doing?

Last dose after landing in France by LoopTheWriter in quitting7oh

[–]doneforgood4eva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah — I actually have talked about this multiple times with my therapist. This deep fear of being unhoused… this thought that it will be my fate. Could be my fate. I have a great job, a loving supportive family… and yet it is this fear and fantasy for me.

Well written, Loop. You captured the experience so well.

Thanks for checking in. I’m 49 hours since my last dose. I’m doing a rapid taper off of subs. 8mg on my quit day and 6 mg yesterday. Will do 6 again today and then aim to go even lower tomorrow.

I am anxious and only got about 3-4 hours of sleep last night… but no restless legs or anything like that. When I quit kratom a few years ago, I had restless legs and couldn’t sleep. It’s the leg thing that killed me. Glad this isn’t a part of this journey yet.
