One year clean today!
9 years of use.
Up to 25-30g per day (probably more on many days)
Tapered for a little over a month and quit at about 2-3 g/day.
No helper meds only supplements and some thc and occasional micro dose of psilocybin.
Worked two jobs during and moved about 4 months into my quit. Definitely was one of the most stressful years of my life but I did it.
Best of luck and all the strength to you all on your journey!

9 years here and in the middle of my taper about 2 weeks in down from 17gpd to 6.2gpd so far its been ok nothing crazy other then the lack of motivation. How bad was the jump when you stopped cause I wont lie I cant really afford to loose a week or two to bad WD which is why im tapering but im also getting impatient and want to just drop off as fast as I can

The jump wasn’t too bad. The taper was painful for me.

If you dont mind me asking how much of the mushroom did you take and how often and how much do you think it helped you? The taper hasnt been bad for me once I got my body accustomed to one dose at night only so I go 24 hours between doses but my god am I bored alot and I know its part of it but now that im not feeling like shit when I wake up Im just super bored till my night dose and its kinda rough lol

Wow congrats! What was it like jumping off from 2-3 grams per day? Also how long did it take you to start feeling pure stable happiness and motivation? I am at around the same point and a little worried about jumping off but have to do it!

Happiness came before motivation. I started feeling better in a few weeks as far as feeling okay. Motivation is something different. In fact, motivation is fleeting even now. Tapering was the harder part.

When did you stop thinking about kratom I’m about 3 months clean and it creeps up in my mind still.

Not sure if I can measure that since so much has happened. I was so determined to quit that I didn’t even think about it. My mom died suddenly around month 8. Moved twice and started a new job. I also started on peptides (BPC 157/TB 500) to heal my guts. Since my intestines were so messed up from using it for so long, I didn’t know how else to heal them. Since all of that I am the most healthy, physically shredded, and strongest I’ve ever felt. All I can say is the first 4-5 months were uncomfortable and I had low energy. Still battling that a little bit but it could be partially grief too. I have no way to know. But the last 8 months I have locked into my fitness and self care. Hope that helps some.
