Hey,

Tomorrow I will be 20 days clean from a 30+ gpd kratom habit. Quitting has been very hard on my body and mind. I know I will not return to kratom because it was certainly preventing me from loving myself. But, I am still struggling with many issues/ am looking for support and stories of others who have dealt with similar.

The acute withdrawal stage was pretty brutal, was really intense for about 8-10 days and I have been improving since then. I still feel pretty bad, its kind of like being hungover 24/7... BUT am still glad to be through the acutes. That being said, now that some of the physical pain is gone I have some capacity to process my thoughts and have had really awful anxiety. I have always dealt with anxiety and am medicated but sheesh I am really struggling with it right now. My primary concern is the amount of time it seems like it is going to take for my brain to return to normal. I know that I signed up for this battle though....

Was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience/ if so, when you started observing improvements

Sup guys I’ve been posting on here pretty consistently about my use of SR to kick a 30 gpd kratom habit and I am officially 2 weeks out from my last dose of SR. My story has been kind of controversial, as I shared it in a way that indicated that I was experiencing withdrawal from SR itself and not everyone agreed that was the case. Nonetheless, I’ve been fighting my ass off and hope to continue to see progress each day. One thing I will say is that though I believe SR produced an acute withdrawal (partially due to poor tapering strategy), it was helpful in reducing cravings. I am not sure if this would be the case had I not used SR but for the two weeks I have been on nothing, I have had no cravings despite spending a lot of time feeling like I was on the verge of death lol.

Welcome to any questions about my journey and good luck to those going through it!!
