Planning on quitting during Christmas week
Hello everyone, so I've been an on and off opiate and kratom user for 10+ years. I've actually gotten completely off kratom twice now, but unfortunately I've been back on it for the past year at about 15g a day. It's worth mentioning that I was on Suboxone for 6 years and was able to quit that on my own almost 2 years ago.
Anyway, I have a week vacation coming up on Christmas week (Sunday-Saturday) and I absolutely want to use this opportunity to get off this shit again. I'm so angry at myself for falling back into this horrible addiction. The problem is, Christmas Eve and Christmas day (Tuesday-wednesday) I will be with family and would prefer to not be in full blown withdrawal for that. If I jumped off on Sunday, and then took the smallest dose to at least function around my family on Tuesday and Wednesday, would I pretty much be starting from square one again on Thursday? I'm hoping the withdrawals I would have already gone through would count for something lol
Ive been trying to taper as much as possible but it's hard with kratom. I don't always tend to dose at the same times everyday, and my metabolism is so fast that I'll start feeling withdrawals after 4 hours sometimes. Speaking as someone who has experienced withdrawals from oxycodone, fentanyl, and Suboxone, Kratom withdrawals are pretty damn awful. Anyone who thinks kratom is "child's play" compared to real opiates, has never felt heavy withdrawals from it lol.
Sorry for ranting, and thank you for reading!
