r/Quittingfeelfree

What’s good everyone. This morning I was 48 hours into 7oh wd after using for a couple months. I have been using a couple supplements to aid in wd but plain leaf kratom has been working the best. I have a dentist appointment in about an hour and after around 5 hours of sleep last night my anxiety was crushing me and I decided to take 50mg of 7 so I wasn’t tweaking during the dentist appointment.

Unfortunately I am out of leaf kratom but I will probably go get more of that or just continue with CT after this dose wears off. I have two questions. First is how bad did I fuck up, if anything the past two days have been a really intense taper right so I should only have 1-2 more days of acute wd still right?

Second question is if leaf kratom extends the wd timeline. I want to be done with everything and although it’s a lesser evil, I’m not interested in using leaf kratom for more than the first 4 days of wd. Will this usage extend my wd symptoms and do u think that’s long enough to get hooked on kratom?

Thanks guys. Stay stronger than me.

Feel frees were banned in my state and I am freaking out. I’ve been wanting to quit but I could never do it. I’ve been taking 9 a day and I am absolutely terrified of the withdrawals. Someone please help me I don’t know what to do to make this better for myself. I do have around 30 left so I am not completely out so I can taper a bit but I know I will still go through withdrawals. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

Dumb choice, take a little 7oh while on the monthly shot, the 7oh turned into a full blown relapse, anyone else experienced quitting the 7 while on the shot?

I’m 46 days sober today from 7OH, 31 days from weed, and 2.7 years from alcohol, and I gotta say, sobriety is tough for me man. It’s like fighting an endless war with no reward but clarity, a clarity that’s indistinguishable from boredom, a boredom that’s indistinguishable from the peace it creates.

Despite peace being both the reward and the motivation, I recognize it as something extremely brittle. The peace is only as strong as I am during my worst days, and I fear that means it’s not strong at all.

Hah! It’s almost funny. My peace, my stability, my pride…all held up by the ultimate house of cards

Been on 7Oh for 70 days or so. Up to 150mg a day at my worse but down to 60mg (20mg x 3 a day).

I’m going to drop 5mg per dose a day until I jump off. What can I expect? I have diazepam and zofran if needed. I’ve cold turkeyd heroin twice over a decade ago but fell into this trap. Honestly these withdrawals feel more unpredictable. I’ve already lost 8lbs in the last few weeks alone which was my biggest indicator to quit.

My biggest fear is chest pain, that already starts almost 9 hours between doses and it’s freaking me out. I understand I’m on an aggressive taper but just wondering how much worse it gets when jumping off. I know I have Rx that most people don’t get the luxury of having but everyone goes through their own battle.

Not going to lie, ive been through heavy withdrawal from Perc/Heroin use in the past but 7-OH withdrawals still suck...most I got passed was day 2 1/2, the restless legs is what got me...im honestly trying to quit cold turkey and generally cant take suboxone due to my profession...I just need to be strong...Ive been taking on average about 400mg of 7-OH daily for the last month..before that was around 200-300mg, total about 3 1/2 months...im creating this post cause im tired of being alone in all this...Im talking to this girl who I really like alot and just cant disappear to recover, its so tough man..

Ok so I'm going to post this for transparency just to hopefully resonate with others here too. So I haven't had any kratom in 496 days. Super excited for Sunday being 500 days that's huge. I have a huge work commitment on Friday, like crazy huge, and I was all set to get some norcos today to get through it. I got 10 of them on Sunday but those are now gone and I was set to get the rest tomorrow but the guy just cancelled. One of those situations where now I cannot afford to be mini-detoxing for this thing on Friday. So had the legitimate thought to get a couple 7oh pills to get through this. I'm posting this for accountability because I would just hate myself to throw away 500 days of sobriety but the other part of my brain knows how bad this can go if I'm kinda coming down. So, I don't necessarily need any encouragement, I'm 99% sure I'm going to abstain but I just wanted everyone to kind of see the pull that this stuff still has 500 days in - I still think of it as an option when things get really dire, and they are dire right now.

Anyway. I'll update on here tomorrow and let everyone know how it went. I'm sure i'll be fine.

I have recently been on about a 3 week stretch of 15-20 g’s a day, and been gambling with kratom in total for about 3 months, I am a recovering alcoholic with about a 10 year addiction and have been sober from it for about 10 months now. I first got started on 7oh out of curiosity and immediately got hooked and knew that stuff was bad news, went through the withdrawals on that sh!t about three different times but all three times weren’t to terrible, anxiety and depression for a few days and some trouble sleeping but after about three days i would be pretty much back to normal, i thought maybe just sticking to plain leaf i would be able to manage and avoid the repercussions from this substance but now i am beginning to realize i am digging myself into a hole again and am worried what will happen when i jump off the leaf. What should i expect? Any tips and pointers? Please no harsh judgement for i am completely aware of the stupidity of the situation and dabbling with these substances as an addict. Thankyou and much love everyone

So i dont have a bad 7oh habit at all. Ive only been using for about 6 days, around 100mg each day or less. I was shocked to feel dope sick when i woke up today. I was reading how quick you can catch a chipper on 7 but dam. I have a long history of heavy opiate addiction going back to the early 2000s so i guess thats why it got its hooks in so quick. Ive been clean for 8 years before i tried this stuff last week. Anyways im trying to get ahead of this thing as quick as i can, but realizing that its not gonna be so easy to just put em down.

Im out of work rn cause i recently had surgery on my shoulder, so Im home with a lot of free time and some PT that can leave me feeling pretty sore. Its kinda how i ended up in this mess to begin with but i def should have known better given my history.

Anyways, W/D symptoms are pretty mild and i know a lot of this is in my head being that its only been a few days, but w/d was def there in the morning today. anything u guys find helpful for mild stuff like running nose, hot/cold sweats? All the same stuff u would use for any opiate like H? Or anything u guys find specifically works well with this 7oh. Was also hoping to hear about your guys experience dropping a small habit like this? Am i over reacting and expecting it to be worse than it should? Thx🫡

I've been taking 708 for a while, and it's causing sweat-filled bumps, almost like acne in my hair . They don't ever become pimples or just huge painful bumps that I can squeeze sweat out of and eventually they scab over but they take forever to go away. I'll see hope they make this s***** legal because I'm having such a hard f****** time getting away from it. I'm not too proud to admit , I have addiction issues from the past. This stuff is so much worse when it comes to withdrawal and since it's legal it's hard to have enough self-control to stay away from it once I quit. This will be by fourth time. The first two times were terrible the third time, was way different for some reason and it doesn't make any sense but I felt fine after about 4 hours well it was about 18 hours after I took my last pill can I started getting restless legs and arms but instead of being miserable for 3 or 4 days straight this time I was good after about 4 hours. No explanation at all for that. I hope this time like that as well . I can't let this s*** keep controlling my f****** life. And on top of all these painful f****** bumps. Why does anybody ever come out with something that makes you feel good without having a million negative side effects? Like how is that even possible that everything that you possibly take to make yourself feel good is always bad for you? Please don't goddamn sense. I don't want my antidepressants make me feel like this? All I get from them is a numb feeling and that's not better than being sad. I don't even know if anybody's going to read this or if I'm just ranting because I'm having a s***** f****** time but have a good day I guess.

Can’t quit and wondering if there’s any way to ease off FF that offers similar effect but cheaper and help me ween off? These cost so much and need help slowly getting off since I can’t take work off and scared to go cold turkey. Any help is much appreciated.

It’s crazy and unfortunate that all the names I see in this thread are new. I joined almost two years ago. And have gone quiet for a few months after relapsing.

I’m on Suboxone now and it helps immensely. There are days when I don’t use. I still can’t kick the habit though. It’s crazy because it hardly even works when using it with Suboxone. The days I don’t use I have sniffles and yawning like usual but it doesn’t get much worse. I’m subscribed the Suboxone doses a day as needed. And I usually only do one in the morning and go drink 4 feel frees the rest of the day. It’s at least better than the 12 I used to do.

I’m hoping to really stop for good here in the next two weeks. I’m working in New Jersey and they are hard as fuck to find. My family and girl don’t know I’ve been using them again for the last two or so months.

It’s so crazy though. Every time I drink one I know I don’t feel it anymore. And I’ve noticed my body is really starting to reject them. Like I can’t have more than 4 anymore without pretending I have food poisoning. I only get the negative effects now.

I’m keeping vitamin c, L-theanine, and magnesium glycenate with me, definitely double dosing the vitamin c & doing the recommended bottles dose for the other two (might take a lil extra before bed). I’m still groggy as hell during the day and going straight to the couch when I get home from work but it is better than yesterday. Hoping my energy returns soon, I’ll keep avoiding being around any spots where I get the craving for FF or kr8m drinks, really trying to focus on sober living and embracing the stuff that makes me think I need to escape this time around

Welp, after countless tries to quit on my own, getting down to 86lbs and so weak I ended up falling twice - busting my head and lip open and cracking a tooth…finally told my family the truth so I could quit. We all decided I’d go cold turkey and detox at home but within 24 hours I could tell something wasn’t right. Went to the ER and ended up having a massive seizure while detoxing (I’d never had one before, so we know it was the Kratom withdrawal). In the end I decided to go for 30 day residential treatment and have continued on Suboxone - day 55 clean today!

This shit is no joke. ER doctors barely knew anything about it or how to treat it. I know now I never could’ve done it on my own and I’m glad I listened to my body, please do the same and know it’s OK TO GET HELP! Wishing you all the best from the other side and beyond grateful this shit is behind me….

I really want to make sure this is widely known because it took me a long time to realize and understand that there are options out there.

If you’re on your 3rd, 4th, 5th, quit and feel like you can’t do this. Just know, you do not have to go through this alone. There are addiction treatment clinics or even just regular clinics all around the country that can help you with this. Today marks 200 days free for me from a 5-6 bottle a day Feel Free habit. I can’t even count the amount of times I tried and failed white knuckling quits. I resigned myself to living in this hell for the rest of my life. I wiped out my bank account and damn near ruined my relationship.

The thing that finally helped me quit and stay quit was asking for help. My local clinic set me up on a Medically Assisted Treatment plan that has worked. Initially I really kicked myself for not doing it sooner but now I am just so proud of myself for taking that step. Straight up, I could not have gotten myself out of this without MAT, Therapy, and support from others around me.

I know the hell this stuff puts you through every single day. I know the deep dark hole you can find yourself in. Again, everyone has their own path to recovery and some things work for some that don’t for others but I just really needed to share my story here in hopes that it finds the right person and pushes them to get help. There is a way out, I promise you there is.

(I know MAT can be a touchy subject in some of these groups, as it’s not a one size fits all but I can only speak on what saved my life. This was my journey. 200+ days ago I thought my life was over, today I am free.)

Hey I am about a little over a month cold turkey. I haven’t had my period since being off. My period was fine the entire year and a half of using. Now I have essentially missed two periods. Does anyone have any insight if this is normal?

This will be my 4 attempt. I was 9 days clean from 7oh in January 2026. Used for a few weeks. Went 6 days clean from 7oh. Used for a few weeks and then went 11 days clean. I have now been using in pretty much daily for about 2 weeks. Anywhere from 80mg to 160mg. I will be 120 hours clean when I get my shot, which is 5 days. I have slight withdraws at the moment, 48 hours clean, but nothing major. Just lack of motivation, upset stomach, and skin heat every now and then. How likely will I suffer from precipitated withdraws? Some say I’m good and some say I am not. Any advice would help. Some say I should be past the major stuff on day 5. Looking for people that have went through it.

I fucked up big time. I have quit 7oh around 5 times before, and tried to quit again. I took my last dose last night and couldn’t even make it 10 hours before the WD symptoms were so bad this time I had to run and get some. I was constantly crying, not like watery eyes, full on ugly crying for literally no reason. I don’t have enough money to afford to take time off work to withdraw (or to continue 7oh tbh) so rehab unfortunately isn’t really an option. I was also considering getting a script for subs, however if I get diagnosed with substance use disorder I will probably lose my ADHD meds which will also fuck me over majorly especially since I’m gonna be starting nursing school very soon. I just really don’t know what to do. Does anyone have any advice or am I just cooked?
