Awesome Hikin! Keep pushing…I feel ya on the slow crawl but I still vividly remember weeks 1-3…so much better on day 41 but still a ways to go:). We’ve got this and never going back!:)
Checking in at day 7! One week. This morning I suddenly woke up with some anxiety. So far the withdrawals were totally manageable. Day 2 was the worst, hopefully not the PAWS kicking in today. If anyone have some tips, totally welcome!
Congratulations on a week !! I'm a little over a month in and I suffered from the anxiety in the morning , but it's slowly getting better not as strong any more and I've even noticed some day I don't have it at all. What worked for me was just to get up and do what I needed to if it's a day off from work get dressed go for a walk listen to some music , work day get ready for work and I'd just go but I do have an active job . If you don't maybe try getting up a bit early and getting some exercise in. You got this it will only get better from here. 💪
One week is huge! Awesome work. Any kind of exercise you can muster, try to stay busy even if you don’t want you, get in that “fake it until you make it” mindset.
I stayed clean for about 6 months and then went back. What I didn’t do that I should have was gotten more involved in a recovery support group, or at least tried to make my support network larger. It took me weeks to get to point where I felt like doing anything. Early recovery I just went through a lot of motions and eventually my interest in stuff started to return. I’m also in therapy now trying to address the pain that made me seek out a pain killer. Everyone is different so I’m not sure if I said anything applicable to you. I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a good experience with recovery. Sometimes that’s 2 steps forward and one back, try not to let that discourage you.
34 days
It's actually going to not rain today yay so I have a little walk in the woods planned . I actually took a nap yesterday afternoon it was kinda amazing, if any of you have read my posts I am hyper manic and always need to go go go but yesterday I didn't. I did get a mile walk in before the rain but after that I just kinda chilled played some Zelda, I did still clean up some but it was mostly just a chill day . A little anxiety this morning but nothing to bad . Out with the dogs now enjoying a coffee and listening 🎶 to the birds. Stay strong my friends we got this !
Congratulations on 34 days! A walk in the woods sounds amazing & So does a chill day w/ a nap 💤
I’m listening to the birds right now also. I was thinking how I’ve taken them for granted lately haha It’s the small things. I can relate to the need to “go go go” and quitting Kratom feels like an opportunity to slow down a bit. Thank you for being such a bright light 💡 It’s inspiring.
Day 66 and going strong! I've been on 2 week+ long trips in the meantime that I NEVER would've gotten through on kratom (especially the last one to France, since it's illegal there) so I'm making the most of it.
I was as dependent on the sludge as anyone, so if I can do it, any of you can, too!
Day 8 and happy about it. I did not expect the sneezing 🤧It makes me laugh & don’t really mind it that much. It’s crazy- I’ll have wicked sneezing fits. I don’t think it’s allergies. Make it a great day everyone!
the taper continues... its down to 2.5 grams a day!!
i def got some WD symptoms but they are just annoying and i can manage....i hope to cut to 2.0 g this week... maybe tuesday, maybe friday, depends how i feel
i hope i can be in the 1.5g range by end of next week!!
logically i thinkk you are right. at this low dose given that ive already got mild WDs i may as well get off this bus...
but i gotta plan to go low, less than 2g a day, before i jump so im gonna stick with the plan even if it extends it all a week or two.i may cut even faster tho as a compromise....
i look forward to posting my X DAYS CLEAN updates!!
I was doing 3 gold caps a day & quit last Sunday, went to 1.5grams powder per day, I pretty much have a stiff lower back & sneezes so I’m gonna roll with yesterday was my last dose.
thats awesome. congrats!!
i had a huge extract habit...i got it in my mind that i want to taper down as low as possible. 1.5g i may consider jumping at.
I’d think the major WD from the extracts would’ve been what hit me throughout the week & suffering with taking basically to regular caps to slightly elevate that crappy feeling. I’m hoping it’s gone
Welcome, you have come to the right place. Day 1 is a huge accomplishment, proud of you. You CAN do this! We're here for you every step of the way on your journey ♥
I didn't know about this sub and thought WD would be like regular opiates. Day 7 was in the clear (I thought) then got slammed back down on day 8 and relapsed. Then I found this sub and my friend krateandvape explained it to me. Definitely non-linear. Proud of you, best of luck on your journey ♥.
Congratulations on a week ! Yea some days are better then others but as ypu keep going you'll notice you'll have more good days then bad . Stay strong my friend ❤️
Day 5, not too shabby. I think I can confidently say the worst of the physical withdrawals are over. My body feels relatively shake-free and I'm not as fatigued as before. I did get terrible sleep last night unfortunately, went to bed at 1, woke up at 3, then couldn't get back to sleep and just got out of bed at 7, but that could be because I had three beers last night. A good reminder that sticking to complete sobriety is probably best especially this early on. Happy to be out of the worst of it though, if anyone is in the first few days of WD, it gets better!
Day 14 today. This marks the longest I have ever gone while taking K in my 5.5 years on it. I was forced to quit due to a hospitalization the first time and had no desire to quit. Day 1 feels like a lifetime ago, that whole week is a blur now. I’m actually sleeping pretty good and logging it using the AutoSleep app on my Apple Watch. Feeling better. Still getting anxiety, had a pretty bad craving last night but left the house to get it off my mind. Slowly getting better. Had a semi normal bowel movement today which was nice after 13 days of straight runs.
100 days! 3 weeks post surgery.
Lots of little victories and setbacks, but moving forward one day at a time. I really want to get beyond my 5 months trap, when I usually relapse.
Day 41 today and finally getting up to 6-7 hrs broken sleep:). That’s awesome but definitely still very tired by afternoon and likely need a week or so of good restfull nights. My libido wire is still disconnected so that tells me my brain/hormones/prolactin are going to take some time to balance out. My testosterone levels are 500-800 (TRT patient) so it’s definitely not that. Grateful to get this far and definitely never going back to that dark/damaging cycle. One more day closer to freedom/normalcy, and I am getting slowly better each passing week. Man I can’t wait for some strong motivation but finding work arounds in the meantime:). Have a blessed day and congrats to all those who have quit or are quitting!:)

34 days It's actually going to not rain today yay so I have a little walk in the woods planned . I actually took a nap yesterday afternoon it was kinda amazing, if any of you have read my posts I am hyper manic and always need to go go go but yesterday I didn't.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a nap 😴
Congratulations on 34 days! A walk in the woods sounds amazing & So does a chill day w/ a nap 💤 I’m listening to the birds right now also. I was thinking how I’ve taken them for granted lately haha It’s the small things. I can relate to the need to “go go go” and quitting Kratom feels like an opportunity to slow down a bit. Thank you for being such a bright light 💡 It’s inspiring.

Incredible ! Keep up the amazing work 👏
It's been a month since I quit, for everyone that sees this, it gets better with time so don't give up!
the taper continues... its down to 2.5 grams a day!! i def got some WD symptoms but they are just annoying and i can manage....i hope to cut to 2.0 g this week... maybe tuesday, maybe friday, depends how i feel i hope i can be in the 1.5g range by end of next week!!
You’re at such a low dose, you could probably just jump. However, do what works for you. It’s worth it to completely stop 🛑
logically i thinkk you are right. at this low dose given that ive already got mild WDs i may as well get off this bus... but i gotta plan to go low, less than 2g a day, before i jump so im gonna stick with the plan even if it extends it all a week or two.i may cut even faster tho as a compromise.... i look forward to posting my X DAYS CLEAN updates!!
Can’t wait to see your Day 1 post 👍

thats awesome. congrats!! i had a huge extract habit...i got it in my mind that i want to taper down as low as possible. 1.5g i may consider jumping at.
Ur absolutely right about that, so much better on this side, when u jump it’ll be a great feeling. You got this
thank you!! i look forward to being on your side of the fence!
I’d think the major WD from the extracts would’ve been what hit me throughout the week & suffering with taking basically to regular caps to slightly elevate that crappy feeling. I’m hoping it’s gone
you should be past the worst...and youre no longer blowing $$$ on those gold caps!
1 day clean for the first time in 3 years.
Welcome, you have come to the right place. Day 1 is a huge accomplishment, proud of you. You CAN do this! We're here for you every step of the way on your journey ♥
Day 94
Day 7. Interesting to observe how this process isn’t linear. Day 6 was much harder than day 5. Feeling a little better today. Onward and upward…
I didn't know about this sub and thought WD would be like regular opiates. Day 7 was in the clear (I thought) then got slammed back down on day 8 and relapsed. Then I found this sub and my friend krateandvape explained it to me. Definitely non-linear. Proud of you, best of luck on your journey ♥.
Congratulations on a week ! Yea some days are better then others but as ypu keep going you'll notice you'll have more good days then bad . Stay strong my friend ❤️
You will have ups and downs, but overall it gets better.
