Hope for You
Just wanted to pop in and say I’ve been hooked on this shit twice. First time for about 3 months. It wasn’t very difficult to quit. I know this wasn’t the healthiest way to go about it, but I drove to a state where it was illegal to stay for 3 nights. I smoked weed and drank beer to keep my mind off of it. Not really many physical symptoms of withdrawal.
Now, the second time was much much worse. I was hooked on them for around 14-15 months. It was so bad this time that if I was able to sleep through the night, I would wake up that morning with full blown withdrawals. Really runny nose, extreme irritation, eyes watering so bad that I would repeatedly get styes. Really shitty stuff. I was spending at least $100 a day more days than not.
Needless to say it was harder to quit this time. My doctor recommended whatever they give heroine addicts for withdrawals because she didn’t know much about it but was concerned since I had lost around 25 lbs. I was told by friends I would probably be on that the rest of my life and didn’t want that.
Again, I drove back to the same state where it was illegal and rented a cabin in the woods for 5 nights. I brought 12 feel frees with me along with a bag of powder kratom pills (I think around 200 .5 pills, it was a cheap brand too) and prepared myself for hell. I finished the feel frees in two days, because you know, I had no power over those things and was ready to feel like I had a really bad flu. The only thing is, the withdrawals never came. I would take 12 of the pills every couple of hours and then started tapering those down. I don’t remember by how much exactly but you can find recommendations online. By the time we got back to my state I didn’t even THINK about stopping at a shitty gas station to buy them.
It’s not gonna be as bad as you think, and if you’re open to trying that method (I know I broke a law bringing the stuff to a state where it was illegal) it worked for me great. You got this dudes.
Tdlr or whatever to sum it up, go somewhere kratom is illegal, bring a bunch of kratom pills to stave off the withdrawals and pot to keep your mind off it and stay somewhere serene for as long as you can take off work/school.
