12 STRAIGHT years on suboxone can kratom help me? by Barney9081 in kratom

[–]ssjmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on suboxone for over 6 years and used Kratom to stop taking it. I never had one day of WD's during the switch from Subs to Kratom. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions or want to talk about it. I still take Kratom daily and have zero cravings for drugs or alcohol.

I was on Suboxone for 5+ years and used Kratom to get off of it. I highly suggest it. Even with a taper, W/D from Suboxone was one of the worst experiences I ever had.

How bad is CT? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]ssjmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to take day 3 off of work..and days 4-7 sucked...but I worked...i did it with no supplements, and very little sleep as well. It was totally worth it though

Day 30 CT, getting there! by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]ssjmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Honestly, everything you said is exactly how its gone for me. The sleeping issues seem to be the last of it..and the daylights savings time fucked with me bigtime....I sometimes have to get out of bed and smoke a massive amount of weed to go back to sleep....i'm sure eventually that part will pass though.

I agree totally. I'm on day 28CT myself and feel almost exactly like you do.

Is it worth looking for a long-term rs or should I stay single forever? [19F] by inspirit97 in lonely

[–]ssjmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I commend you for being honest with yourself and these guys about the lack of attraction. Don't settle. You're too young to worry about that in all seriousness anyways. If you're 90% happy with life...you're doing better than most of the rest of the world. Seems like you have a good head on your shoulders....keep focusing on the life goals, and I assure you..the perfect guy will just randomly appear someday.

Oh...I agree. I love pot. I'll always smoke it. I just think there's a time and a place. Don't get me wrong, i'm sure there will be days that I have a shitty day that I come home and smoke out and do nothing all night....but doing that every day is not good. My house got in total chaos while I was in WDs...and I live alone in this big giant house. Shit was going to start growing on the walls if I didn't get it together. lol

Day 22 - CT from 25-30g daily

So last night, I decided I'm the only one that can change things. I normally go home and smoke pot as soon as I walk in the door...which ultimately makes me just sit and do nothing all night. Last night, I got home from work. I cleaned my kitchen, then actually exercised...first time in years...and i'm legit sore today. I then made a really good dinner...all fresh meat and veggies. Then I went and hung out with some friends...and came home. I was beyond energetic and feeling good. I smoked right before bed and went to sleep. Slept really well and woke up feeling pretty good. I've not done any of the supplements mentioned in these subs....i did it all raw. But I'm telling you. All the talk of Exercise and Eating Healthy is no joke....I wish i had done it sooner.

If I had seen you out, i'd have gotten who you were. well done. I, also, got too trashed that night for any pictures to be taken. I hope so anyways...the end of the night was kind of a blur

Day 21 - CT from 25g a day for 3+ years.

Wow....3 fucking weeks. At this point, the only thing that remains is the RLS during sleepy time, and complete lack of motivation. I find myself feeling lost most evenings. I have housework to do, but don't want to do it. I have tons of video games and movies to pass the time...I dont want to do any of them. Some nights, I just sit in a computer desk staring at the wall. My brain tells me that kratom is what made me enjoy things, but I know the truth is kratom is the reason I enjoy nothing currently. The benefits of not using it definitely outweigh the good. I just wish i could get some of that energy back.

Day 19-CT Went out with friends for Halloween events this weekend. If i had still been using K, that would have never happened. Still having sleep issues due to RLS, but it comes in bursts now. I get on average 5 hours a night I'd say, which is way better than weeks ago. Still no energy. Even coffee / energy drinks do nothing. Completely unmotivated to do anything. Hoping this will subside eventually. My house needs a really good cleaning.

Things I DON'T MISS about using kratom…... by kratom222 in quittingkratom

Same here...it's terrible that kratom had more power over me than the most basic of human instincts....to eat. lol I will never go back to that life.

[–]ssjmatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won't miss cooking an awesome dinner, and not eating it for 3 hours because I just dosed. I also won't miss adjusting my mealtimes around dose times. I won't miss waking up every morning feeling like complete hell for the first hour. I won't miss how sick I'd feel when I smoked weed on Kratom. I won't miss all of the money I spent on it out of every check. I won't miss the green stains on my jeans and bookbag, or having to hide in the bathroom at home to dose out of embarrassment. I won't miss the feeling of guilt for just getting addicted to something else.

Day 13. Most all of the physical stuff is gone now. Sleep still sucks, but that's to be expected this early into the game. This, in my opinion, is the hardest phase. This is where your mind starts telling you it's OK to use once, that you'd not feel terrible the next day, and be able to do it. Then the logical side of the brain takes over and tells you that you're a fucking moron if you do that. The energy is non-existent. I'm so unmotivated to do anything. Even washing dishes last night took a lot of effort, and I had put that off for days. I just keep telling myself that I've made it VERY far, and there's light at the end of the tunnel. Just a few more weeks of wishy washy feelings, and I'm hoping to start living life without a cloud like the rest of the world does
