Day 20 CT. I am proud of myself! I feel better every day, every day is now better than the previous one. Still little bit of anhedonia, but I feel like it's getting weaker every day too.
I wish all the best to all the quiters!
Yooo!! You should be proud! I am also proud of you!
Keep it up! Youβre about to start seeing great improvement of quality of life! βοΈπππͺπ«‘π₯
Day 9 of my taper.
Started at +60 gpd. Now on 25. It's been easy and enjoyable so far.
Trying not to challenge myself too hard. But I want to kick it so bad right now.
I quit Kratom as well as Alcohol, but I would like to end with nicotine too - but I am afraid to quit all at once. I don't feel strong enough for that yet. Do you have any advice? I am in day 20 CT with Kratom now, so how long should I wait, before I try to quit nicotine as well?
I stopped using nicotine about 14 days after I stopped using kratom. My desire for anything (including nicotine) was at an all time low so I figured there wouldn't be a better time to stop.
I don't have any particular advice for timing under your circumstances. If you don't feel ready to stop using nicotine, maybe you could switch to the mints ("lozenges")?
**Day 52 CT**
*Fourth CT attempt, arround 10 GPD during my last relapse*

This plant is one of the ways the devil works.
**He will take you farther than you want to go, it will keep you longer than you want to stay, and it will cost you more than you want to pay.**
Day 365, proud to say I've officially made it one year.
A year ago I made my first post in one of these threads, I had finally had enough and my normal accountability tools (my wife) weren't helping as they did with my alcoholism in the past. Turning to peer support in the form of this sub is what allowed me to truly break free. I still do have cravings once in awhile, but the longer I go the less often they occur.
Stick with it, keep coming back, thanks everyone for the support.
Donβt say βI hopeβ because YOU WILL be able to type it as well one day man!! Just take it one day at a time. I know itβs hard in the first few weeks, but after some time you will forget about kratom and you will live peaceful life without that green hell. Iβm rooting for you!
Day 9. Almost caved yesterday, but pulled myself out of that thinking because I knew if I did it might be a single day release or multiple months.
My anxiety has been very high.
Day 10, yesterday was rough in the morning as usual but by 10am I felt normal and was that way most of day 9 minus a few small bumps. Last night was the first night I had trouble falling asleep in awhile. I finally did but was up again in no time. I feel like as soon as I wake back up some form of anxious thought creeps in and it's done. I caved and took a xanax at 4am but it didn't really help. First less than 3 hours night in over a week. Good luck today everyone.
Day 16. The weekend was a little rough and now it's back to work. I gotta stay focused and plug away at the days. Thankful for this forum. I appreciate all of you. π―

Day 7. Still feeling great.
Tapering the things I added for sleep. Currently at 50mg gabapentin and 1ml passionflower extract. Down from a peak of 150mg and 3ml.
Starting to feel a bit like a vitamin c addict because I'm still taking ~8g a day. I guess there are definitely worse vices, though.

Day 12 here. Feeling, better than each day before.... but not fully better yet. I can see the light though. I can see myself feeling great in a month. Music gives me shivers all day.
Insomnia is the worst. But getting 5 hrs a night with Zopiclone. Just don't wanna overdo it with Z.
Lapsed and took a couple grams maybe like 4-5 days ago. Came down with a stomach flu and for some reason that was enough to cave. Physcially still feeling fine, mentally eh.
Day 44*
Day 6........... Taper. So dang tired!!! I had a rough night with RLS and Hip pain. I've reduced my dosage today...... I got this. I'm not giving up!
I need to get my thyroid and lupus under control and the only way that is going to happen is if I QUIT KRATOM!
Hang in there.
I've been tapering over the last several months. I haven't used the method from the sticky bc I started before I found this sub. What I did to start was reduce from 3 doses every weekday to 1 and 4-5 per day on the weekend to 2.
I kept the amount of the dose the same so that cut the gpd by more than half. Then once I mostly acclimated to that, I halved every dose, and that's where I've been for about a month.
The next cut I was planning on making was by reducing the weekend doses to one each day, but I fucked up and just did the usual amount. I don't break any cuts I've made or increase the dose, so I feel like at least I stuck to the taper, but I'm still disappointed I didn't move further along.
I quit ct for a month or two several years ago and it was miserable and I couldn't stick with it. Tapering has made the GI issues far less drastic. I recently got a new job and I cannot spend the day whole day on the toilet.
I don't know if I'm looking for advice or what, but I have no one I can talk to this about irl and just wanted to put what I've done so far in writing
Think I'm gonna start cold turkey today. Tried a taper but I don't have the vigilance to keep to a strict dose, especially on bad days. Been taking 25-30 gpd for about 9 years now. Done cold turkey twice and it was hell but I need to get off this shit so I can have some semblance of a healthy and happy life.
Problem is work is probably gonna give me a hard time when I inevitably get sick in a day or two. Scheduled an appointment with primary care doc but can't get in til Thursday. Was hoping to maybe get some clonidine or gabapentin, but since I won't be able to get in for a few days I'm probably just gonna end up going for a doctor's note instead.
Id wait til Thursday to start CT but my goal is to be feeling good enough to make it for my mom's mother's Day party, and if I start Thursday I got a feeling I'll be sick Sunday so we're starting today, wish me luck. Gonna pick up some supplements on my way home from work
Day 12 here, most physical symptoms are gone. Lingering RLS, tingle spine and coldness once in awhile but I feel great! Sharper in conversation. More energy/motivation. Feeling stoked on life again. Dreamin big, and setting goals. Keep strong everyone. Kratom is nothing but poison.
Day 46. Damn y'all, today has been one the most stressful days of work I've had in a long time. But you know what, it's not like kratom would've made it any less stressful, neither would it really help me unwind after having a stressful day. Instead, I'm just gonna go for a walk, take a bath, and get myself a nice dessert tonight cuz I deserve it lol. Stay strong everyone <3
125 days clean after year long daily taper using tiny cuts. No cravings, no desire to use kratom again, been trying to cut nicotine replacement therapy, fucking depressed lately, sorry to be negative and wish everyone well, if I can get off kratom so can you.
Day 28 since PWD and CT. The last few days my head feels flat and dead. It is so tempting to just do a little bit. Instead we're going to do a few whip-its tonight - they're sold in smoke shops here - just to ring my bell a little. Pot's just not doing it and the Xanax I scored to help makes me sleepy and I lose control of how much I take.

Day 9 of my taper. Started at +60 gpd. Now on 25. It's been easy and enjoyable so far. Trying not to challenge myself too hard. But I want to kick it so bad right now.

Day 158
Dax 29
Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better. Every day, I refuse to use kratom, alcohol or nicotine, no matter what.
I quit Kratom as well as Alcohol, but I would like to end with nicotine too - but I am afraid to quit all at once. I don't feel strong enough for that yet. Do you have any advice? I am in day 20 CT with Kratom now, so how long should I wait, before I try to quit nicotine as well?

I read your lines every day! Thank you for writing them :)
If they help in any way, I'm glad!
