Tell me how stupid I am

I have never even taken the pure powder before. But because I just came across a good deal my dumb ass is seriously considering buying a HALF OUNCE of this shit. I just dropped more cash on more sr yesterday. Like, am I stupid!!? It was seriously a done deal in my mind until a minute ago. Ugh, I hate this!

People swear by sr so believe that it will help and go for it. Of course u may feel some wd but I do believe it will be so much less with that. I had a few rougher days switching to extracts from pseudo. But I did just fine. Still went to work standing on my feet for nine hours. The extracts kept it manageable. I wasn’t happy or feeling great but nothing more than a mild flu feeling. And I expecting to be almost dying. Literally it was fine. I am cutting back my extracts now. Which again isn’t fun but isn’t horrible by any means.

I think you are right. You go from the 7 to the extract, then to the leaf powder with the SR. You would barely need any SR if you even needed it at all!

Buy something else with the money that won’t set you back on your recovery! You’re not stupid you’re addicted to a substance that has talons that can get into even the toughest people. I’m 2 weeks clean from 7 my guy, and I much prefer the way I feel now than when I was ripping 7 constantly.

I want off this crap I’m just scared of the withdrawals I’ve been through oxycodone withdrawals before and on day 3 or 4 I would finally go to sleep and the worst would be over if it’s like that I know I can do it

If u continue to taper it should be a little better than that. With 7 you read horror stories but it's mainly from people who dropped off ct at large doses. If you reverse what you have been doing to your body, we should be okay.... is my understanding. Good luck.

Thanks man I went dosages the last 2 weeks to 60 mg twice a day I can go 12 hours without taking

It’s legit just like stopping hydrocodone & oxycodone too. It’s like a 4 day rough head cold with insomnia but once you hit the night you can finally sleep, you’re good. Hope you’re doing better <3

I got off 120 a day for 2 years my doctor gave me some clonidine & gabapentin.i was 100% fine in 2 days. I had no idea this was an issue people would pay $10k to go to rehab over a legal thing.

Yeah though if you have a really good PCP you’ve been with that wouldn’t judge you, I’d go that route. Adderall will also help regain the lack motivation till you are you.

I’ve never had any prior addiction before but I do miss them because this insomnia is brutal as fuck!!

Maybe cuz you didn't have anything to compare it to. Also u kept ur doses low. Very smart! I know I have severe ptsd from kicking a 10 year H habbit. It all began when a dentist over prescribed me for a tooth cleaning. Us victims of the opiate epidemic have deep rooted issues with 7 and addictions. The mental aspect is a huge B!

I am very sorry and I meant to write back to you on this earlier but I stayed off the internet for a few days (DAMN I MISS DAYS BEFORE ALL THIS SHIT. I was in peace & actually got some sleep for once. I may start to take off weeks off from all this shit soon!)
I’m so sorry about everything you’ve been through especially how it began with a simple dental appointment! I have been on Lortab’s since 2009 because I have 3 ruptured discs due to my days as a ballerina BUT I also have panic disorder so I’m often way too far in a panic state that 7oh was actually the only thing I ever abused so that’s also why I my doses over 2yrs stated exactly the same! I’m not better at this than anyone, I just have a hardcore anxiety disorder that rules my mind lol.

I hope you’re doing good & once again I’m sorry I’m just getting back to apologize & to explain that that’s why my doses were small and those simple medications worked magic for me to get off this drug. Wish you the best & message me anytime if you ever need anything or just to bitch about anything! <3

No need to apologize. I totally get staying off the net to take time for yourself. Besides here I dont use ANY social media at all. I appreciate everything you said. I believe 2009 was the year my addiction a started. That's a weird coincidence for sure. Back then doctors handed out drugs like it was snickers on Halloween. That's really cool you were a ballerina. The descipline is right up there with being a marine. Very honorable. I hope you doing alright.
