I'm hurting but hopeful. I was medically detoxed for one day and am home now. I used kratom for about 2 years to get off of diluted, and while that worked it was a replacement to the existing addiction. I am going to waves of being hopeful, 20 minutes later I am angry, 10 minutes later I am sad, then I just want to sleep. This will get better, right?

That's a huge amount. How was this spread out across the day?
Anyway, the human body is amazing when it comes to regenerate and heal itself. I'm sure you'll be fine in time.
A heaping teaspoon about every 10 to 15 minutes. I never took the time the actually figure it out but when I did I was stunned.

It WILL get better (that's the nature of things) but you will have times of not believing it so find support and connection to help get you through those moments of doubt. I was in a real funk these past two days but it was helpful to be reminded of the overall improvements going on - sometimes these improvements are out of reach of my perception.
And CONGRATS btw. Day 2 off that kind of habit is a big deal. I commend you for facing this sooner than later. I was hovering around 100 grams myself and it's been no joke getting off this stuff.
You are right, it's no joke. Thanks, I think I have some decent support and feel good about that.
ride it out.
I am "Riding The Storm Out", and now you're singing it I bet. I know I am. Thanks for the reply...
I'm on day 4 of not taking it. I tapered down. Stopped for a day here, took a little the next day. It's not been that bad at all. If anything, I have developed a much clearer perspective on the merits and drawbacks of kratom usage.
The only merit I can say it has is it can ground your energy until you are ready to thrive in life. That said, if you are using kratom, you're probably not wanting to allow much more into your life. It will definitely keep you stabile, but that can be either good or bad.
How you feeling?
So so so good. Started doing hot yoga just about everyday. Sometimes twice.
How are you feeling?
Awesome job choosing to slay the dragon, and sounds like also a wise move choosing to get some help with it. I'm guessing you were given some meds to help ease the process?
What can I say I am a Renegade,sorry love that song. Yes, I was given meds and they are helping with the RLS but not energy. That I desperately need back I hate feeling like shit, it slows me down. Thanks for the comment and the support.

Right on, based on my own experience I was going to advise against trying to tough it out on your own, but sounds like you got it covered!
I did have a medical detox for a day and half it got me over the shakes a bit and the hallucinations. That sucked but that's behind me. I am still shaky but the visuals have subsided, bummer that visuals weren't cool shit :-) Thanks for your support. How are you?
YES. It absolutely will get better and I suspect a hell of a lot sooner than you'd even imagine. Wishing even a few days you'll be feeling "more yourself" and "more connected" than you have in quite some time. It may feel raw at first.....but just hang in there. You are on your way back. This is a very worthwhile journey ....
Thanks so much. Right now it does not feel that way. I am relying heavily on the support I find around me. Most if the time I feel bored and frustrated but too damn tired to do anything. Like the flu, I want too sleep but that shit gets old too.
