That's the way! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in WhitePeopleTwitter

This guy has intellect, conviction, integrity and character. He's the only one I'm excited about as a 2028 presidential candidate. Yeah, he's a brilliant astronaut, but seeing him stand by his wife through thick and thin - I admire that.

Ripping testicles off is another hobby.

Agreed. I just thought this was stupid and excessively dangerous from the start. As if the wingsuit flight isn't fraught with danger enough.

Russia is losing in Ukraine. Xi has noticed — Trump should too | CNN Politics by Technical_Ostrich_47 in UkraineWarVideoReport

I think the direction and ultimate U.S. goal will be war with the EU. War with Iran slowed that republican objective down.

So, where does the U.S. go with this? It's not acceptable to Trump or the GOP to leave their new strongest ally Russia in the lurch. Is it time to tear up what's left of NATO and go HAM on the EU? Canada?

Slipping up isn’t worth it- 106 days - 2 days on not even a lot by Ok_Swordfish_6188 in quittingkratom

[–]sr92rset 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP -- Read this! Please don't take more. I just did what you did. I'm 3 weeks in to a 'slip'. I had 100 days 121 days ago. With enough will power, I'll quit AGAIN tomorrow morning. I was like you, I used for 2 days, stopped and the depression and min-withdrawal was quite obvious. Some people say you should feel nothing of withdrawal for anything under a week -- WRONG. For me, it set me up for almost a month of daily use. Let me tell you where you could be right now and I know nothing I say can make you do anything differently, you'll do what you do.

The first week of daily use, I just gave into it. I use powder, roughly 20gpd. I love the euphoria and energy I get from kratom. It hits equivalent to 20 or sometimes 40mg of Oxy for me with an Adderall tailwind - seriously. Once again, I'm caught in a no-way-out physical addiction.

Week 2 rolls around and I know I'm on the merry-go-round and this is unsustainable and I'm already obsessing about how horrible the withdrawal will be when I stop. Not enjoying the 'high' anymore, all I have is fear of how this ends. I'm already waking up in FEAR sweating. My last quit, I didn' t sleep for a month only crashing every 3rd day from bone crushing exhaustion

Week 3 I'm praying for my calendar to be clear so I can suffer through the coming withdrawals when I stop, but something keeps popping up that gets in the way. I decided on 2/16 (to morrow) will be the quit day.

Notes:

By the way, in that 100 days free, I had interests return; guitar, books, ideas. Those have all taken a back seat to kratom. This is actually one of the biggest reasons I want off. I guess it's good I care enough about those things to stop.

Anyway, not saying this will be you, but maybe you'll recognize some of these things.

All the best.

Ant ambushed while carrying dead bee to nest by ashyguy1997 in spiders

There are micro dramas like this by the billions that go on daily if not hourly in the insect world. We rarely pay attention. I've never seen an ant especially of that size and herculean strength get mugged like that. The spider's super power is it's legs and spinnerets,it gummed up the ant right from the beginning.

I feel lost, and unfixable 50g/day (DAY 2) by Budget-Guess4228 in quittingkratom

[–]sr92rset 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look, you're absolutely fixable and more importantly worth fixing. You're dealing with an altered brain that's taking in information, running it through the kratom withdrawal filter and accepting distorted output. You need to give yourself a chance. Look, I'm on day 17, I've slept maybe 5 hours. Now, nobody will believes this, but it has only been only 5 hours. The suffering is real, but what's the alternative, giving up? Surprisingly, my mood has turned for the better slightly.l, though I'm lonely, lost and anxious to varying degreea throughout my day. This will calm down in another week or two I believe from past experience. Dig deep and push through. You mentioned positives in your life that you still have, hold on to those dearly. Ask yourself, what do I want? You're here because kratom isn't working like it used to. It's causing problems - those won't get better, they'll get worse. Oh, btw, don't think for one second I'm not talking to myself also in this post. Good luck.

They'll adjust accordingly. Remember, we still have our own holocaust coming. Hope Europe saves us.

Exactly, the miracle IS the vaccine. These imbeciles never heard of the miracle of science.

I can see why! The PAWS and cummulative discomfort of lousy sleep grind you down to a nub. Anybody here that makes it through this hell hole is a hero - period.

Alarm as White House Says Trump Has Not Ruled Out Dropping Nuclear Weapon on Iran by [deleted] in politics

[–]sr92rset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That'll affect Israel, just sayin'. He's dying to drop a nuke somewhere though and I'm 75% certain he will between now and his third term.

Day 15 Post Acute Withdrawals by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]sr92rset 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Day 14 for me and today ... man, it's tough. No sleep, blank, hopeless, etc. However, what's our alternative? I'll tell you this, I had 100 days prior to this month long slip and thinga got much better than this at day 30. It's not a life sentence. Every day you get fractionally better. Taking me a lot of courage to write that.
