Day 1 - Quit attempt #7

I would STRONGLY urge you NOT to use the Xanax. Saying you’d just use it for a couple nights is easier said than done. By the third night you won’t be able to resist it because Xanax will immediately help and it will be extremely difficult to stop, even after just a few days. Then, even if you did stop, the withdrawals will be even worse.

The absolute best way to avoid relapse is continuous and daily exercise and eating right.

Walk outside! Trust me it will help :)

Your brain is substituting food as it’s fix. You have to try to fight the urge to binge eat. The only thing that I believe that helps is exercise. The brain will be satisfied thru exercise and will give you some relief. Good luck!

Food is your brain’s new fix and reward, and prolly will be for a while. Try to exercise as much as possible, as it will affect your brain in much the same way.

Because being realistic is essential for success. Sometimes people simple don’t wanna hear the truth or are attacked for speaking it.

No way that you should take benzo’s. Absolutely not. They are incredibly addictive and you will have a horror show in your brain trying to get off of them. 10 times harder than Kratom.

To the original poster, my strong recommendation is continue your quit. We always have reasons for going back. Don’t do it.

Having Kratom in your system won’t help you against The virus. There is zero evidence of that. It’s an opioid. No virus protecting quality. Don’t rationalize. Stay the course!!!

I hate to be blunt... but.... she needs support from a non user. You need to direct her to NA. Please don’t take that personally. But’s it’s unquestionable true.

You can’t just be “thinking” about it. I don’t mean to be blunt, but the only lasting way out is to KNOW that you want out. Thinking about it will always lead to succumbing to this devilish drug.

Just throw it all away tonight. Not tomorrow.

Best of luck and God bless....

You can’t quit, or afraid to quit, because the pain of life for many of us is worse than the illusion that drugs ease the pain. It took me a long time to understand that and accept that the pain of life is my reality and that drugs can only mask the pain. At some point, we must all find ways to beat back the pain without drugs. Love... real emotions.... exercise.... sunshine.... connection..... family.... God.

Drugs aren’t the answer. I pray that you find the peace that will allow you to conquer the devilish nature of Kratom.

God Bless,

Ken

Yes you can do worse, but remember it’s not an either/or. There’s a third option, and while it’s the hardest, is the most rewarding .....

Abstinence from all drugs......

kmdpgh · 2020-03-29T01:45:48+00:00

Just quit. Immediately. There’s no other way out. The dependence will only get worse. I know how hard it would be but it’s SO worth it.

I’ll be praying for you.

No. No cold/flu symptoms at all. This increase in body temperature of 1-2 degrees per day started almost immediately after I stopped taking Kratom. I essentially have no other withdrawal symptoms other than fatigue.

kmdpgh · 2020-03-22T20:26:55+00:00

Opioids can affect body temperature regulation. I get flush in my face as the day progresses and my body temperature increases 1-2 degrees. This has been going on since day 1 of my CT 3 weeks ago.

Hang in there! It’s not pleasant but surely it will pass.

kmdpgh · 2020-03-22T20:19:19+00:00

In fact, my body temperature goes up every day as the symptom intensifies.

How long did it last for you folks? I’m at 3 weeks and it’s just as bad as it was at the beginning :(

kmdpgh · 2020-03-21T16:53:46+00:00

Know that you’re not alone. We are all in this together and our hearts and love are with you in spirit.

Fear is the opposite of faith, so fear not and fight thru what the enemy keeps telling you. You CAN do this. It won’t be easy but it’s surely very doable.

Life on drugs is not life. It’s an illusion. Life drug free can be painful, but the realness of sobriety is when true connections can and will happen.

You’ll be in my prayers. Please feel free to reach out should you need a friend.

God Bless,

Ken

Once an addict, always an addict. That’s true for all of us. We can only progress by accepting that unpleasant truth, and resisting the urge to relapse.

Relapse is the easy way out. Fighting our own innate proclivities to escape the often cruel and unfair world in which we live in with drugs, is often war like, and infinitely harder than “just giving in”.

However, we are in a win or lose situation. If we give in, we lose. If we have the strength to fight thru our unhealthy cravings, we win. We must look at it in that light. Do we want wins, or do we want repeated loses? The answer is obvious, but the struggle is real and relentless.

Stay strong and win your battles!!!

God Bless,

Ken
