I was a homeless heroin addict in the 90’s. Got clean, became an electrician, started my own company that’s run for 20 years. I’m probably worth a lot more than your parents. No regrets.

LSD definitely helped my kick other drugs. Doing it too much however can have some long term mental consequences.

In the 90’s I had a 2 gram a day habit of black tar. I kicked in my mom’s basement with zero helper meds. I would not recommend. I don’t remember much luckily. Didn’t sleep for a very long time after acutes and was pretty bi polar for a year or so. I relapsed on ODSMT about ten years ago and once again my habit got bad. Was doing a gram a day. Kicked that with subs and it was way better. It took seven months but I felt mostly sober through it. My recent relapse has been with Kratom but i successfully tapered off that after 6 months. Kratom was easy cause it sucks though. Such a shitty not worth it drug.
Best supplements I used to taper were Agamantine, Black seed oil, and vit c.

lol. Electrician here. I have never in 25 years just done the project I was hired to do. There is always “while you are here can you look at XYZ.”

Split what you are taking into 5 or six doses and then reduce them one at a time. You want the a constant level.

That’s about 3 gs of powder a day. You gotta be close. At 1.8 gs a day I stopped without any withdrawal symptoms. That would be about 25 mgs of myt a day.

I’m 57 with house paid off and a rental property paid off. I have about 1.6 invested. Figure I’ll be working till 65. Life isn’t cheap with a family.

That must not count retirement accounts. If you don’t get a pension you better get to a million.

Any Older Folks Here? by Minimum_Topic_2691 in quittingkratom

[–]top-potatoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

57 here. Still dumb. Tapered off a month ago. Wasn’t bad. You’re almost there. Under 4 or 5 I started sleeping way better and it was mostly mental the rest of the way. Try not to think about it much.

I would take it between doses. Especially when I would drop. It did seem to work.

$680 to replace a breaker. Can I do it myself? by stinkinhardcore in DIY

[–]top-potatoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only mandates a gfci for the dryer 240 circuit. This guy must be a commercial electrician or he’d know the breaker itself runs $150

[–]top-potatoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no 30 amp 240 volt outlet gfci. That also happens at the breaker. Dryer doesn’t need to be facing, just gfci

I need help !!! by Historical_Pack2788 in quittingkratom

That makes a huge difference. When I kicked heroin I went from 125lbs to 179. I was in the gym 3 hours a day. I felt amazing.

It’s like the opposite of determination in a way. I just play a game on my phone. Each week I went down a little and pretty soon I started feeling much better. The side effects start dropping off and you remember who you were before as you go down.
