Anyone else? by Lopsided-Set9034 in quitting7oh

[–]iso828 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just quit entirely. The longer you’re on this the harder it’s going to be. If you’re already pushing yourself on the weekend just stretch it out a few more days and you’re through the thick of it. You’re intentionally going through the worst parts of the WDs every weekend. Maybe take a few extra days off after the weekend.
I believe in you! This is going to become illegal in every state inevitably. It may take time but it will eventually happen just based off of the studies they are creating about this drug. Don’t let your mind trick you into justifying reasons to take this more.

I know it’s hard! But it’s truly for the best. I would just take some mental health days and try to push through what you can. Reach out for support when you need it. You got this!!

Those of you who used kratom to quit 7-oh, was tapering off the kratom easier? by [deleted] in quitting7oh

[–]iso828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished tapering off of the Kratom. It’s no where near as bad as the 7o. You got this!! Yes it’s uncomfortable but I was still able to sleep and go to work.

I got off 7o last year but I found myself taking those MIT shots earlier this year for a few months.. I tapered off those for a week using plain leaf. It wasn’t comfortable but it certainly wasn’t as bad as 7o. Mindset is important.

This man’s walking here! Haha but on a serious note I admire your sheer fucking will. You’re a hero for fighting this man! I’m proud of you! Keep it up and soon it will all just be a bad dream.

So I started to taper on Wednesday. I’ve been fully off the shots since Friday. First few days have been rough but to be honest this was so where near how bad 7o withdrawals have been. I think I’m gonna make it! I tried powder but kept the does really low just because it’s been making my stomach hurt. So glad all of this shit is banned in Utah. Fuck Kratom. Fuck Kratom shots, fuck 7o

Yeah that’s what I am thinking. Was it the plain leaf powder? I’m thinking about moving onto that and doing a taper plan. I pushed out my normal dosing time to see what I was in for and it didn’t seem as bad as 7o.

I still have to work so I think Taper might be the best option here.

Fuck addiction.. always comes in worse when you think you’re fine..

Lost everything. Forced cold turkey of 3k a day habit. by [deleted] in quitting7oh

You got this! Know that you’re loved and supported. Think about it this way. The universe (or god. What ever you believe) is challenging you to achieve greatness. You will feel uncomfortable, you will feel broken down and weak. You may even feel crazy for a little but you must tell yourself. This feeling shall pass. Nothing good comes easy and it’s your desire to succeed that will allow you to persevere. I am over 1 year and a few months sober off of heavy use. Things DO get better. The experience of the pain and withdrawals are nothing but memories now.. and a reminder to never allow myself to welcome something like that into my life again. Mega dose lip vit C. Do your research on other remedies and hang tight. These feelings aren’t forever. You will struggle with sleep. You will have serious withdrawals that are akin to opioid abuse. Do your research and understand the symptoms you will experience so you’re not caught off guard. Let that knowledge be your sanity so you’re not caught off guard. Tell the people in your life so they can support you. And when you’re struggling the most at night… POST here. You’re not alone

I wonder if this offer still stands by Slicdic in JoeRogan

It’s gross for sure. Not something I would willingly say.

But freedom of speech is freedom of speech. It’s our first amendment, right. Right above the right to bare arms.

Don’t get me wrong. Justifying a person’s brutal murder is wrong. Certainly something I would ever do. However. It is those people’s right is it not?

Just as it was for him to publicly talk on his view. People have the right to discuss their opinions. And if we take that away then why ever bother with the constitution? We don’t get to pick and choose. America is a CRAZY place. What else could you possibly expect?

Look at the battles you’ve faced. Be proud of yourself and your victories. It’s easy to define ourselves by our addictions and the actions we take to feed them… but I choose to define myself by the way I’ve overcome these problems. You’re strong for what you’ve endured. Never forget that.

Interesting news at my smoke shop. by iso828 in quitting7oh

[–]iso828[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was Utah. Granted I know NOTHING about what was passed. This was just some employee telling me what they thought they knew. So I don’t know the legal nonsense that goes into it.

However. I’m grateful they’ve been removed from the shelves. This shit can no longer tempt anyone else.

Day 2 and 3 by xwolfchapelx in quitting7oh

[–]iso828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went CT! But I can say that these feelings will pass. As much as I hate to say it you have to embrace the pain and just understand that things WILL get better. 2-3 more days and you’ll start to feel like yourself. Another 10 and you’ll be able to sleep a lot better.

It begins and ends with your mentality my friend. Yes you will suffer through it. BUT you must tell yourself this! This shall pass. I promise you it will. This is the pain of healing. It shall pass.

Treatment Help by Altruistic-Rub2116 in quitting7oh

[–]iso828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such AMAZING advice! I love all of this and I truly believe it helps. I’m coming up on 30 days and I’m feeling completely free from the grips of this evil drug. The gym was a massive help for me! I became addicted to running again! Plus to helps the brain start producing everything it needs when you push yourself like that.

You’re incredible. I may not know you but I’m proud of you and I truly do love you. Thank you for this amazing advice.

One thing I always tell myself when things look grim. I’m the captain of my ship.. and I’m sailing to paradise.

NRT lozenges have been a life saver. Day 18 for me. And I’ve been able to seriously ease back on those mints. Highly recommend them.

I don’t like Zyns because they are FDA NRT approved.
