One month clean
okay everyone, I was in this group for the better part of a year and was known as foreign_pumpkin.. I deleted my account after I had already gotten clean because I felt the need to get everything 7oh out of my life at the time, even this group that has helped me so much.. I’m back now because I feel like im obligated to help anyone struggling with this awful shit.
I am exactly one month clean as of a half hour ago. I was on this stuff for 15 months. taking it every single day. at my worst I was at 700mg per day but stayed consistently at 300-400mg per day. I like many people on here was frustrated and felt like I would never find a way out, except I did do it and so can everyone else..
I used the vitamin C method, along with gabapentin and leaf. I was so focused on the physical withdrawals that I didn’t even plan ahead for the mental battle I was in for, and I cannot stress enough, how important it is for everyone to have some sort of plan for that. i was not ready for the mood swings, Depression, or overall instability. I’m sure I’m still dealing with some of that but Not nearly as bad as it was from week one through three after quitting. oh, and I did not sleep for a week straight either after . By far one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through if not the absolute hardest. I lost a lot of weight because I wasn’t eating. Probably about 15 pounds altogether. I was sick physically for probably four or five days but nothing compared to what some People have been through. To me th mental aspect was a lot worse than The physical. Especially considering what it cost me, but that’s a completely different story. Anyways, if I can help anyone at all, please feel free to DM me. I feel That people who have successfully been through this need to help in any way they possibly can. Good luck to all of you. As with all the success stories I read when I was still in the thick of it, if I can do this so can all of you. Good luck to you all and much love
