Hi all! So was not at all expecting to say this but later today I will hit day 58 of my quit. I tapered down on 04/23/2018 from around 12-15g a day to 7gs and jumped completely off at 5gs on 05/06/2018. I had planned on actually spending the entire month of many tapering down and not jumping until 06/01/2018 because I was in the process of getting things together to move to a different state. I decided to just go ahead and see how long I could last one day well that day as you all know was hell but I kept telling myself just a little while longer and kept up with that pace for the first week. IT was BRUTAL no doubt but the thought in the back of my mind of not wanting to be a slave to the plant or any opiates anymore kept ringing in my head louder than ever. Don't get me wrong I still had about 5 kilos with me and could have ended the madness at a moments notice but didn't. I remained strong.

After around 6-8 days of agony I was starting to feel somewhat better but no where closer to back to my old self. Sure I used various things such as Vitamins, Minerals, Supplements, Prescriptions the whole range but what I found to be most helpful was stopping not at a certain gram dosage but stopping once my brain "clicked" and said its time to stop now! So I just road that wave and am continuing to ride that wave of no Kratom or opiates. Do I miss it? You bet I do? Do I crave that warmth of the opiate blanket? You better believe it! Do I miss having my life revolve around taking a pill or downing a couple spoonfuls of plant matter? Not at all! I crave on a daily basis and have actually moved to a city where Kratom is sold right around the corner within walking distance but never the less have remained strong.

I still have those 5 kilos back home so that will be the true test whenever I do return if I will have the power to hold on to it, throw it away or dive head first into it. Thats a choice/decision for another day. Until then I just wanted to let those just starting out or curious as to whether they should stop or not know that there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel. As clique and very often thrown around it is soooo true. Change you surroundings, change up something in your life so that Kratom becomes a thing of the past on purpose.

I wish those well in their continued journeys or those just starting out. If anyone needs to chat or has questions please feel free to reach out and ask. Whether its about quitting K, quitting opiates or whatever don't hesitate to ask.
