It's about time!

Guess I need to stop by here and say hi. I have been reading the bluelight forums for years and have never posted. You can only Google "opiate withdrawal day 3" though so many times before you might as well just sign up.

I've found myself lurking here a ton over the past couple weeks as I've finally stopped taking pain pills with kratom. The stuff is a god send for now, but I find myself needing to fill my time since I'm not spending it on the hunt these days. I haven't used a pain pill in 2 weeks and 3 days, and I've been taking the kratom for 1 week and 4 days. I'm a nurse and mom. Annnd, that's all I got. See ya around!

Hi, N2theavenue.
Looks like we have something in common: Quitting opiates (and benzos) with kratom. Been a success story for me for 7 months and am jacked about it still.
A chef here (ATM) and no chirrin'.
Agreed that kratom is a godsend for coming off other substances and honestly do not have an issue with keeping a pound or two always on hand (it has helped me save a ton of money and practically all other aspects of my life has been restored to working-order).
Here's to another successful story of a "prodigal" returning to reclaim what is rightfully theirs.
Stay strong.
Cheers and kudos.
Peace

It really is amazing isn't it? It's almost surreal to have money in my hand and my hookup right down the street and not even am I tempted. Two people actually showed up at my front door today since I hadn't been answering my phone and I was STILL able to say thanks but no thanks. I believe if I found an oxy laying around I could just throw it out, and that is really something. I hope kratom stays legal, I don't want to wind up back out there. I'm finally going to get my life back.

Kratom is amazing... so are we (and countless others) for finding an aide to help with our recovery. It is my belief that we all have the ability and strength to recover on our own: Sometimes we may need a little help in order to break habits that have ingrained themselves in our daily activities. This, IMO, is tantamount to a successful return to sanity (or the appearance thereof).
I know the feeling of turning down dope: It is elating and strengthening. As with you; I too trolled BL when I thought I needed help with coming to grips with my decades long abuse of meds. Of course there are other venues that may help with addiction but this site (members) just seemed more "real" and openly honest/caring of others well-being. I joined with the mindset of maybe imparting a little hope to others in their quest for constructive information.
Glad to "see" ya here and look forward to growing along with you and others here and abroad.
Aside: Most (if not all) of my friends are military vets and the majority are prescribed the "good stuff" as I am: They cannot believe that I broke away from the grip of "warm fuzzy comfort pills" and want to know how I did it. I tell them about kratom and they act like they cannot hear what I am saying > lol. After over 40 years of use/abuse; it would seem ridiculous, implausible and unlikely (to me) that a "tea" could break those bonds. My skepticism is replaced by a deep respect for natural healing....
Best Always
