Had to hurt myself to get clean
I had been using 7 for almost 1.5 years, with one successful step down to kratom that lasted a month last summer. I really wanted to get off but felt stuck in a hellscape.
I ruptured my ACL skiing and needed surgery. I did not want to be on 7 for surgery do to anesthesia and opiate tolerance. I was able to ween back down to about 10g kratom sludge the day before surgery. Not even the fentanyl they pushed into my IV gave me a buzz.
They gave me a nerve block post surgery so I really didn’t feel the intense pain, so I stopped taking everything. But. Because I’m a junkie, I tried the 7 one last time. It wasn’t worth it. I’m new to thins. Only 7 days in.
I’m ready to start healing from all of it. So glad this community is here.
