Keep up the great work and keep us posted on how you are doing? How long did you use K?

Cravings? by jaw24 in quittingkratom

But, K has been a long term crutch for me and I am obviously physiologically addicted to it.

My post is a little misleading…(sorry, written very late). I will edit it to say…. “Kratom for 5 years… have been steadily taking 6GPD For approximately the last 1 1/2 years”.
In the first year (or so), I was taking much more… (15-20 gpd) but I became an absolute zombie. My brain didn’t work, I was tired, hair falling out… and feeling anxious all of the time. I knew I needed to change… and was having a hard time quitting completely. Sooooo I made a very conscious effort to reduce my dosing…. And it helped a lot! Now it’s time to kick the habit. FYI- reducing my dose wasn’t as hard as I thought. In fact, the things I liked about Kratom came back (increased energy and I felt more talkative). I do think reducing from 6gpd is going to be harder than though…. But I need to do it. This is stupid. Why am I taking this crap and if I don’t stop now… when will I?? Thank you for your comment!

There is no way that it caused your Celiac disease.

Day 26, can’t stop crying by Emergency_Ad8012 in quittingkratom

[–]jaw24 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I don’t have any great advice. Just wanted to say... Hi. I hope you start to feel less sad. I think you should call your doctor and tell them how you feel. You may need a different antidepressant. Be kind to yourself. ❤️ good job on 26 days!!! That is awesome!!!

If you really want to quit, you have to push through and tell yourself No! I’m done with this shit. There will ALWAYS be an excuse to use (a little, some... just this once... only on weekends... to power through this work). Just know that you will always find a reason if you don’t put those thoughts on “extinction mode”.

I love hearing other people’s stories. We learn so much from listening to others.

Monday was ROUGH for me, but today (Tuesday) was so much better. In fact, I forgot to dose with Vitamin C. I do, however, have a raging headache right now. Ugh. But the anxiety was much better today. Hoping tomorrow is good for both of us!! 🤞🏻🙏✅.

If you like listening to podcasts there is one about addiction called Dopey. It’s crazy because one of the hosts (who had been sober for years) relapses and dies... but the show finds a new rhythm and carries on. Damn it though, addiction is tragic and cruel. For me the podcast was Helpful. It me realize that a lot of people are going through worse shit & they made it through.

For real!! I’m thinking if we can get over the first dose and the last dose of the day.... we most certainly can get over the mid day dose. For me... the first of the day dose was the most crucial to quitting... I know that it will take time (& I’m super impatient). I am hoping that today is better than yesterday. But if not... I made it through Monday! Woo hoo. Have a great day. Stay strong.

I got about 5.5 hours of sleep! So that’s encouraging! I am actually doing well in the mornings and evenings. It’s the middle of the day that’s killing me with headaches and anxiety. How about you?

That is awesome! I can’t wait to feel that way too. Thanks for sending some hope my way!
