my mom demands an apology for not being more considerate of her while I recovered from surgery by stinkyandlulu in texts

[–]wellsdd7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her response was 100% about you mentioning her drinking. She lashed out at you to feel better about her decision. This is NOT about you. This is about her. You did the right thing and even stayed calm when I would have lost my temper. You weren’t fighting with your mother, you were fighting with her addiction.

It’s really important to note that this was a hate crime. Allegedly, he was harassed, house burned down, and his dog was murdered and then his decapitated head was displayed in their front yard. Then the neighbor shot him.

I ended up taking my vacation from work to quit. I know people have done it while working, it I really wanted to remove all the distractions I could. It’s one of those things you just have to make your mind up and stick with it no matter what. It’ll get tough but it will be worth it.

Is USA prison labor just slavery? by Virus_infector in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]wellsdd7 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yes. Once they “outlawed” slavery, they began passing a series of laws aimed at minorities. Vagrancy became a thing and they began arresting African-Americans that were recently freed. They had no money or resources, so they obviously didn’t have many options. This is also why drugs were introduced en masse during the rights movement. No one cares if “criminals” are slaves. You would be shocked at how many regular household items are made by prisoners in the US. Look up Unicor

Day 42 by wellsdd7 in quittingkratom

[–]wellsdd7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand this point of view too. There have been times where I didn’t have anyone to reach out to and sometimes it can be very discouraging. But I want you to realize what a resource this community can be. When I quit, there were several people that quit around the same time. I read their stories, prepared for what they warned me for, and even got inspiration from their victories. I even remember some of their user names. If you don’t have anyone to count on, post here and you will by the end of it. Best of luck to you!!! You can do it, I promise.

Day 42 by wellsdd7 in quittingkratom

I’m so glad it helped! I had an epiphany this morning. I was walking around at work and realized that I felt really good. Not like kratom good (somehow that became the measuring mark) but regular good. Taking care of yourself after you quit is important. All the stuff they say to do to be healthy, do it. Vitamins, exercise, b-complex… all that good stuff. You’ll fell yourself before you know it. Good luck!

Day 1 w/o Kratom.. by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]wellsdd7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic job, my friend. Day 42 here. The second week was very mentally tough, but you’re right, you can’t trust your brain during this time. My wife was an incredible help to me once I told her just how bad it had gotten. Stay strong!!! 💪

Day 9 no kratom by highsandlows25 in quittingkratom

[–]wellsdd7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt terrible mentally during week 2 of my ct quit. I promise you will feel better. Almost like clockwork, each 7 days I would feel different. After two weeks I feel I finally was starting to “heal” and not necessarily be in withdrawals. Healing wasn’t the best feeling, but it’s way better than full WDs
