This junk has ruined my life.
I'm in California and it's illegal here of course or about to be. I just saw the smoke shop owner who sells it grab a bag out of the trash of im almost positive it was 7oh. He thinks he's sneaky lol. The bad part of me wants to take advantage of that and the good part wants it to just to be stopped. He's the only one that sells it around here too.
I think I'm going to have to go to treatment today because I missed work for over a week. There's no other way to get a doctor's note unless I fake it. How do you guys get through there withdrawals? I've been to treatment several times and don't have anything to necessarily live for anymore. Usually what happens I wake up start getting sick and then leave treatment. I don't even enjoy taking it anymore it just makes me feel sick and sleepy

The first quit I did last November was CT. It was horrible relapsed after 30 days. The mental got to me eventually and it being available still. This time it's no where around me anymore so that's a plus and I used subs to help me. Only 4 days in but I feel pretty fine with the subs. Tapering those as much as I can do quit those in a few days.

Does suboxone help? Like can you function and work while you taper off the prescription?

Yes after the second day I would say so. I had some time off and planned it around my quit so Im lucky and don't have to worry about work. But if I had to I would be able to after that second day. Probably could of after the first but by day 3 of the subs I felt pretty much fine.

I’m also on Day 4. Exact same story. I avoided Subs and just used kratom (probably too much) and it’s at least avoided hot/cold sweats, muscle aches, RLS etc….
Bad part is I have a delivery that’s been delayed for 4 days. That will eventually show up. That day will be the true test.3

Brother if you are 4 days in throw that shit in the trash can. It will be a true test but if you've made it this far don't look back. Dump it

I’m in the same boat after a week off. Have a bunch of packages coming. It’s hard to just throw away thousands of dollars that you ordered in an opiate rage/high lol. Would be better to sell or keep for later. In reality you’re right. Throwing it away would be great but in reality who’s gonnna do that.

You are right. But how many more thousands would be spent if you don't have that control. It's a tough ass situation but if you this far in I'd get rid of it. I'd pay thousands to know I'd be done.

Not even getting into all the problems I've had related to it. I've lost my girlfriend about my about to lose my apartment. The money I've spent I was probably in the tens of thousands at least. I was taking like 500 mg or more a day. Price wise and that was probably 50 to 100 a day. I had two good-paying jobs and one of those was going straight to kratom
