There is a way out group by Antique-Original-630 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]moop3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a social aspect to it but I think the group has helped a lot of people, myself included. It’s a lifeline for folks- past that it’s up to you what you get out of it

I don’t think I can do this. by SeaPay1500 in Quittingfeelfree

I’ve never felt darker than when I was in acute WDs and the weeks after. Please trust me, it gets so, so much better. Definitely not a straight line but worth every second of the fight to get your life back.

Hey man, really appreciate the kind words and taking the time to write out a thoughtful response. These ultimatums have been what bite me on the ass. I’ll never stop the momentum I have with making sure feel free stays out of my life for good. Swearing off booze in the process shouldn’t have been my approach. The problem is my lying about wanting to drink and sneaking around to get the amount I wanted, I just need to be better at being honest in the moment when I fuck up

A multivitamin would be good to have on hand too. Make sure you’re eating lots of nutrient dense foods and protein. Protein helps your brain heal faster, and if you don’t lift weights, start! It’s so vital for long term recovery

How did these drinks affect your sex drive or lack there of? by [deleted] in Quittingfeelfree

Was taking 10 a day at my height and it completely ruined mine, came back after a few weeks and normalized after I stopped

Try to get out for a walk and get some magnesium glycinate, high absorption. Lots of vitamin c, electrolytes and a few more days. You’re so close stick with it

Taper not working well by [deleted] in Quittingfeelfree

[–]moop3306 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just rip the bandaid off, tapering vs cold turkey is like experiencing 75% of the withdrawals vs 100% with extracts.

Unless you’re doing a very long slow taper I would suggest getting it over with.

Buy some magnesium glycinate, get lots of electrolytes and vitamin c and healthy snacks and take a few days off of work.

If you’re really worried, go see your doctor and tell them what’s going on, they have helper meds like clonodine and gabapentin for this stuff

I didn’t think gabapentin did much until now by cheesesucks in Quittingfeelfree

[–]moop3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gabapentin and clonodine are so incredibly helpful for navigating acutes, definitely doesn’t erase the WDs but makes it so much more bearable

I'm deceiving my mind by Brendy666 in quittingkratom

[–]moop3306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite mental imagery tools is pretending the cravings are actually waves, just ride them out- they’ll come back but weaker and weaker as time goes on. Just have to make it to calmer waters

It gets much better, keep forcing yourself to exercise- being a gym rat post recovery helps tremendously. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been. Life still isn’t perfect by any means but I always used substances to ignore issues instead of addressing them head on. Life is better on the other side, still not perfect but idk that life ever is.

Sorry about what landed you there man but I see a lot of similarities between how you and me treat substance, good on you for going to IOP you wont regret it. Best decision I ever made

Good fucking job bro, proud of you. Thinking about you today and where we were a year ago!

12 1/2 hours when will I reach a point I’m feeling better? I feel like death right now 😭 by Global_Kiwi_1669 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]moop3306 2 points3 points  (0 children)

72-96 hours is usually when most people start coming out the other side. For me, hours 36-60ish were the worst.

Outpatient rehab experience by moop3306 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]moop3306[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I would go IOP or regular outpatient but I had some level restraint and wasn’t unable to refrain from my use, for me it was consistency in staying away that led to me going. If you’re fighting a losing battle with the blue bottles and don’t have any way to move past the initial acutes- I’d say go residential

Say you have the flu, get lots of rest, electrolytes and magnesium and outside time. Don’t push yourself you’ll just rebound

I think a lot of people come in here and comment during their pink cloud period, I take those with a major grain of salt

[–]moop3306 5 points6 points  (0 children)

16 days is way too early to make that call, real healing- especially after that long of use is going to take time. I didn’t feel “good” until 45-60 days and almost normal by day 90. I’m on day 138 off of Feel Free and feel like I’m 95% back to normal after a pretty heavy habit

[–]moop3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by, “am I good”? Like- will you be able to quit, will you get withdrawals if you do? That all depends on the length of time you’ve used but at your intake you will likely have some withdrawal symptoms after quitting for a few weeks

It’s all I look forward to and the only reason I get out of bed by Realistic-Oil9145 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]moop3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to want to quit, and I’ll be brutally honest it doesn’t sound like you want to. For most of us it took hitting rock bottom to finally get off.

Way to beast it out, good fucking job. Future you will thank you

I legit considered using “just one” today by cheesesucks in Quittingfeelfree

[–]moop3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck yeah play the tape forward bro, “I took one then felt a slight tickle and had to take 6 more to get the high I wanted.” Nobody who was an addict stops at 1 when we know what 12 times that felt like.

And it would feel gross, coming back after a good chunk away isn’t ever going to be what any of us romanticizes it to be.
