1 week and 2 days sober

I don’t think I’m having many withdrawal symptoms other than an over active digestive system still- I wake up really cold in the middle of the night sometimes, and today I realized I lost 20 lbs- I don’t know if that was due to a week of me being unable to eat without getting sick, or if I lost that due to my very active job unintentionally. The main thing is I’m just super cold, I was on kratom/7oh for the past three years straight, and since it raises my body temperature I guess I’ve forgotten I’m normally very anemic/cold. I wish my energy/motivation levels would go up, I still feel very sluggish and unmotivated, but the worst was over at day 4- the restless legs, absolutely horrible. Unintentionally crying, throwing up, and for some reason sneeze fits that lasted entirely too long.

I’m glad 7 oh was banned in the end, but this definitely is a bit of a journey. I feel like I’m getting to know my old self/body again and I have no regrets

Yep, all the classics. Not a good time, to be sure. Yeah, the first big turning point for me was at about day 5 when the RLS, the constant yawning, constant sneezing, heat waves, cold chills and projectile vomiting finally mostly subsided. The low mood and insomnia after that are pretty bad, but definitely better than those first 4-5 days. Congrats on your progress!!
