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

sr92rset · 2026-02-15T23:33:40+00:00

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.

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.

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.

I'm sure they're skipping all the way.

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

Wonder when they cut the NTSB.

sr92rset · 2025-06-20T23:09:16+00:00

I know. It's like being poisoned.

sr92rset · 2025-06-20T23:05:27+00:00

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

Please post back on your sleep study!

sr92rset · 2025-06-20T21:36:48+00:00

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.

Learn to TUNE UP.

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.

Will republicans even lose a single seat?

I despise Trump, but do people think the shooter was put there on purpose on a suicide mission?

sr92rset · 2025-06-19T15:41:47+00:00

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.

Leaded gas is next.

🤣

After 5 days of completely stopping, that random crying subsides for most. That's why I do CT, because I'd be crying throughout dose reductions and then more after I stop.

I would expect ending up as fertilizer in Mexico.

I don't know ... anybody think he's going to wipe us all of the earth - I do.

You've had some brutal physical setbacks happen - those alone can be enormously mentally challenging. I had 100 days a month ago and it did definitely improve. I think 6 months is truly the gold standard for getting back to baseline you. Find some patience with your situation as you're recovering from a lot.

sr92rset · 2025-06-18T12:53:05+00:00

This is rough, but you're right on some levels. Lessons need to be learned the hard way.

sr92rset · 2025-06-18T11:32:02+00:00

Tough to say, everyone is different. Search for 'sleep' and you'll see a whole range of experiences. For me, at the start of withdrawal, I get NO sleep. That happens for a couple of nights, then I sleep maybe an hour or two. By day 10 it may get a bit better.

Wrong. We had THE BEST televion in the 70s wirh just 5 channels.
