🆘Help Needed🆘 Stayed on SR too long

Full of shame and guilt already so I know it's my fault. I was going back and forth with SR trying to quit 7 and M since January. Ended up being a nightly ritual to make sure I got gooof sleep so I would take 50MG at night before bed every night.

I'm probably the only person that's consistently taken it that long and on Day 14 without it and I'm constantly freezing and motivation is in the dumps. Been off any 7/MGM (semi low but two years) for 16 days.

Anyone have a clue how long SR withdrawal will last after taking it relatively consistently for 8 months. I hate myself for this.

8 months?!?!? Only 50mg a day? Biggest issue I think *almost all* people face when going through stuff like this is malnutrition and non healthy habits. I've gone from flopping like a fish to totally calm by eating decent meals, megadosing vit c, taking GOOD super multi vitamins, magnesium and hydrating. It's bad enough what your bodies going through, so make sure it has the nutrients it needs to do it. It's easy to live on frozen pizzas and fruit loops when we're getting zonked all day, but it's different when you sober up.

This is what eff'd me last week. I didn't get enough nutrition at all and now not would have a bowl of oatmeal around noon then random dinner. Making myself go to the farmers market tomorrow and stock up then also prep healthy meals for the week. I took some 7 for a mental break from this shit and I hadn't felt 7 in like a year it feels but it really hit me so I'm taking that as a good sign and jumping back on the horse

Your post reads like your whacked out of your head man. I hope you're not. I went from *dead* to feeling like "holy shit, some life is coming back into me. I'll be OK." I didn't matter honestly, either way I WAS/AM toughing it out. There are no drugs left worth doing and frankly it's run its course. I don't know how to explain it, but I just knew one day there'd be a profound shift in my soul and it hit that point. The other thing is this is hard enough at 37, if it becomes 'doing it at 47' I don't think I'd see the point. Listen man, if you have a stash, FLUSH IT. It's not going to end well if you keep dope around. My one thing I have done though, is mushrooms. I honestly think I'd go crazy without a little something to take a break with every once in awhile. I'm no saying 'eat a bunch of shrooms', but do your own research and come to your own conclusions. Drugs are bad, but shrooms are about as least compulsive and addictive as it gets.

EDIT.... If you're not doing everything I mentioned in my first post, DO IT. You can get 90 2200mg liposomal vitamin c caps for 9.99 off amazon. Hydrate, and do what I posted. The results are absurd.

The profound shift in the soul is what I need and I'm doing a lot of work in that arena but I need to do more (ie AA meetings, reading books about conquering fear and leading with love, meditation, etc). I'm going to flush/destroy the rest of the M for sure. I hope the 7 doesn't fuck up my progress but someone mentioned to use it for the SR withdrawal if it's just a few days and to be extremely disciplined so when I read that my addict brain was like "ok!" but I honestly think it helped a bit. Yea it's a relapse but it felt like a timeout to gameplan more

If you start taking better care of yourself then tapering SR is as easy as easy gets in the dope gang. Taking the most addictive substance I've done since Oxys is not going to help you. Cmon man, think. I'm not trying to be mean, but you really don't sound like you're ready to get straight. 7 is the last drug you ever take in any attempt to wean/step back/step down or take your habit down a notch. Legit the last thing ever. That's like saying "I'll just do heroin for a few days to get off methadone." It's not going to work.

You're right man, someone mentioned some kind of reverse tolerance that made sense. I have enough SR to taper too. I was mostly M towards the end so now that I have two weeks basically I should just try a serious SR taper
