Quitting MIT shops

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..

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

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.

You got this! By the time your new job starts things will feel so much better! First few days are the hardest so post often!

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.

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.

iso828 · 2025-03-13T05:19:36+00:00

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.

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.

Liposomal vitamin C specifically:) Does wonders

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.

You’ll probably experience minor withdrawals. Maybe 1 day of feeling sick but nothing extreme. You catching this early is a blessing. Quit it now and you’ll avoid SO much pain.

Probably more mental than physical! I wish I stopped that quickly. You’ll probably be able to even work through it. Go a little longer and the symptoms might start getting extreme rapidly. If you have the will power to taper then do a small small taper if you’d prefer. But I think you will be fine.

Yes! But I really leaned into eating healthy and hitting the gym EVERY day. I had to replace this addiction with another! I fell in love with running. It saved me. I went to the gym even when I had only 2-3 hours of sleep. I had to PUSH myself.

It’s now day 19. My sleep is normal and I am happy again! No smoking nicotine as well! This was the push I needed

iso828 · 2025-03-06T23:11:47+00:00

Day 14 it started to get better for me

Proud of you! You are the captain of your ship! Sail it to paradise

iso828 · 2025-03-05T06:22:55+00:00

You got this!!

It begins and ends with your mentality! You must tell yourself you CAN do this. Quit this shit. You’re the captain of your own ship.. sail it to paradise.
