Hello all, just making my introduction.

I have found my way to posts on here a number of times over the years, but never joined up.

I once had issues with alcohol, cigarettes... then it was kratom, then it was opiates. I kicked the opiates and was clean for a while, changed my life around completely, then one day thought a little kratom would do no harm.

Of late I am using huge amounts, and have decided to quit (to be honest I decided to quit many times in the last year, and have quit several times, only to relapse worse than ever). Part of my reason for joining is that I would like to start a thread where I can post my experience of withdrawal when I begin (have set a date next week, I have been waiting for a 10 days window which rarely comes up in my life, so I can avoid social and stress situations). The thread will hopefully be useful for me in posting whenever there is temptation or difficult times, and getting feedback could be really helpful.

I am assuming the Dark side forum will be the best place to set up this thread?

Thanks in advance for any replies and welcomes :)
 
I have had many withdrawal experiences with many different drugs; particularly opiates, cocaine, and Marijuana(if you consider that withdrawal). Let me know if you need any advise. I look forward to reading about your future experiment. Good Luck.
 
Well I started my thread and promptly had it closed as I am not allowed to do that but have to start a blog instead...

Thing is, it doesn't look like anybody actually reads the blogs or comments on them, don't think that is going to work for me :(

Just spent an hour typing the intro to my account and now it has nowhere to go but a blog nobody will read 8)
 
Well I was wrong about the blog, I think, as have had some comments which was reassuring.

I guess having your first real thread closed on a forum is never a good start but i must say a big thank you to a certain mod on here who has taken the time to explain this and suggest the best way of using the site for what I need =D

This is just the sort of finer detail that needs to happen before the challenges of withdrawal, which can maginify the smallest problem. :\

Best wishes to all.
 
I'm glad my post hit close to home for you and it made me want to read into your experience/situation. While I've never ingested Kratom, I know it's very similar to opiates which make is a dangerous withdrawal experience. My assumption is that because it's a natural substance, the W/D are more severe than a pharmaceutical substance or am I mistaken?

I posted a new reply in my thread if you would like to read it - I mentioned what I felt today, which consisted of a variety of things, almost 4 full days into this. I hope you decide this time is the final straw, as I have. This is probably the best decision either of us could make at this point. Support, interaction and a positive attitude have helped me beat the cravings so far and I feel that if I tried to do this alone, with no support, I wouldn't have made it this far.

Good luck in your experience :)

Thank you, and thank you for your interest and support.

Kratom withdrawal is weird - some people get very little, others get symptoms as bad as the "real" opiates. I seem to be one of the latter, the worst of it is the akathisa/restless legs.

Yeah, have tried this alone a few times and it's so easy to kid yourself into using again, with a bit of support there are at least some sensible objective voices around.

keep up your good work!
