Hi Gang,
It's time I knock off the Poppy Seed Tea thing. Actually I'd hardly call my recipe "tea". It's usually a death broth of grapefruit juice, water and store-bought lemon juice. Predictably, it tastes horrendous. It has really gotten out of hand for me I think, and before it gets worse I had better cut the shit. I am up to the point where I'm spending too much money on this witches' brew and while I think I'll have difficulty stopping, I have stopped before and survived. But this time I want it to be for good.
I need to formulate a game plan and I'd like any advice about taper plans, or stop schedules or anything else you've found helpful if you've done it. Many many thank you's in advance to anyone who can contribute their experience to this thread.
I am sick of it and I need to stop because:
I tried to stop once before and it went fairly decent. I had to stop because I couldn't bring a 30lb box full of raw seeds to the Caribbean on vacation - nor could I bring pre-made "tea". Or poppy juice, or whatever my brew should be called. Before the vacation I did a fast taper over about a week. When I did this for my vacation, I had a large amount of Gabapentin at the time which helped but it wasn't a 100% easy thing to do. I still had a night or two of sleeplessness, soreness, and I was constantly sneezing. Once I was back in the US, I started right up again. I think I was on the ground for 3 hours and had already ordered a box of seeds to be delivered overnight.
I am just hoping to get a handle on this, and I'd really appreciate anyone's help. I'm documenting my quitting plan, stories and experience and will be contributing it up to this community. In advance of that, I'd love to hear any kind of stories or experiences you've had. Be they long, short, or in between (just like me!).
Thank you,
NK

I am sick of it and I need to stop because:
- I've had issues with opiates in the past, I know the hallmarks of addiction and I do think this is a legal widely available opiate.
- I don't think I am feeling it anymore, which means my tolerance is way up.
- I constantly have weird boxes full of bulk poppy seeds in my car, and they spill.
- I always have a weird pile of lemon juice, grapefruit juice, scoopers and big iced-coffee cups in my car (which I drain the jugs into) that - when put together with a used jug of squashed, wet & spent seed mush - it looks like a crime scene. That spent and mashed down gallon water jug just looks "bad".
- I usually have my seeds delivered at work, and while it's not cocaine expensive -- it's still expensive
- I've grown calluses on my hands from shaking the jugs o' water+graperfruit juice that I make.
- I'm sure the lemon juice I use in my method/formula/death broth is hurting my stomach in some permanent way.
- The sight and even smell of raw seeds has made me vomit in the past week.
- Sex is better when I'm not mildly poppy tea high.
- I am almost always constipated, and/or nauseous.
- Apart from Amazon and a local bulk place, nobody on Earth knows I do this - I've kept it a secret (I think) for a few years - because it developed over a few years.
- I think I have a problem.
