Just broke my 48 hour 7OH "fast". It wasnt really by choice since I forgot to bring it with me on a weekend trip lol. But I did 72 hours last week and while it is daunting and somewhat painful, it definitely feels good knowing I can do it when I need to. And when you finally do pop a tab it feels really, really good. Ive never ever wanted to be a, for lack of a better term, "slave", to any substance, regardless of whether or not its good bad or indifferent. I encourage anyone and everyone to just try. And what ive found is a lot of it truly is mind over matter. I would be in withdrawal pain and then all of a sudden get into an hour long conversation with my girlfriend or watch my step daughters volleyball game and forget all about it. As long as my mind was occupied id honestly forget that I was in fact going through withdrawals. I wouldn't really feel it until I started to focus on it again. Yes I did go on here asking if anybody was in the area and could swing me one, but Im glad none of you took me up on the offer. I was psyching myself out for the car ride home. Thanks everyone for not taking me up on the offer lol. I took a deep breath and told myself ive already gone over 24 hours whats another 3? I can do this no problem. Its nothing but a thing. And sure enough here I am. Still alive lol. I guess what im getting at is if you do want to take a break or dial it back, dont be afraid and psych yourself out. You can do it. You will do it. Youre tougher than you realize and 90% of it really is mind over matter. With all that being said. Youre all beautiful, you're all worth it, and youre bigger and better than whatever you may be going through at this point in your life. So step back, relax, get some fresh air, take a deep breath and tell yourself everyrhing WILL be ok. Thank you and have a wonderful night.

This is baseball, not football. Baseball is a beautiful, frustrating, finicky bitch. You win games you shouldn't and you lose games you shouldn't. The only guarantee is youll win 40 and lose 40. This is a solid Pirates team. The best weve seen in over a decade. The offense is cruising, the starters are dealing, and we have 2 of the most exciting young players in the league. Enjoy the wins. Appreciate Paul Skenes, and accept the losses. They happen. Its a long season and we are in the thick of an incredible divisional race thats gonna come down to the wire. Theyre not perfect by any means, and i understand that the bullpen is garbage. But again, lets try to keep things in perspective and support our buccos and try not to be too negative all the time. Mark Madden has that market cornered. Its cool to criticize and be angry when warranted, but its much more fun to try and focus on the good we have this year. Rant over have a great day! Now let's take this fucking series against the clown ass Rockies! Go Bucs!!

So a little background. Im a combat vet who was blown up twice and shot once in my many deployments. I refused to take any pain meds so when I found kratom it was a godsend. Well, when i heard about 7OH, I decided to try it due to its convenience over powdered kratom leaf. Ive been taking between 100-350 mgs a day for about 6 months. So I decided to take a few days off to kind of reset my tolerance. And man, people were not joking about the withdrawal symptoms. They are nuts. Im going on 72 hours since my last dose and what sucks the most for me is the restless arms and legs. I literally cannot sit down. It feels like electricity is running through my muscles as soon as I try to relax. I havent slept in 3 days. All the other symptoms arent too bad and pretty manageable. I can grind through that. But man this restlessness is something else. Anybody have any tips or tricks to offset the restlessness? Im not trying to quit completely, and i dont want to take subs. But man do I need something to chill this out. Anybody else have this problem? And if so what did you do to calm it down?
