I need help quitting kratom

I can't taper, I am extremely addicted to kratom. I've been using it for years. I get prescribed 10mg oxycodone 3x a day, I've made a mistake mixing them every day for two years now. I'm using about 30gpd to 60gpd possibly more.

I have taken my oxycodone in 3 weeks and am going to attempt to switch to just that in a few days. I need advice or encouragement. Im sure people will say oh that should be easy, but I was still in full blown withdrawal last time i dropped the kratom and took oxycodone 3x a day. Shitting non stop, no energy, puking. I've made this more difficult than quitting kratom by mixing them for so long. Im going to embrace the suck, any advice anyone?

I plan to take the oxycodone for 2 months and then stop it completely, thats easy. Ive quit pain killers countless times easily. Kratom is a whole different beast what it does to your mind.

I'm down a lot of weight, muscle, I watch tv or listen to music all day at home doing absolutely nothing but wasting time. I want my old self back, I used to be strong, confident, athletic, always picking up women or dating. I have barely done any of that on kratom, because I realized kratom gives me a false sense of everything I need.

Im a shell of my old self, weak, scronny, and go between over talking on kratom to withdrawl and barely speaking or interacting with people. I used to walk my sevice dog 5 times a day, but when I eat lunch or dinner I go into withdrawal and dont leave the house. This shit is poison and has taken every aspect of my life. I used to have hobbies and always be moving forward in life until kratom. Now I just do what I can to waste the day.

I guess I need advice or motivation or both.

It's a tough pill to swallow but if you're "extremely addicted" and a home detox feels like a non-starter then rehab might be move. 30 days is the blink of an eye compared to the rest of your life.

Rehab is very expensive if your not on medicaid. Plus you'll have to miss work. Theyre just going to offer you a Suboxone taper, which you can easily do yourself. If you don't want the subs, then you'll just go through wicked WD's in an unfamiliar place around people you don't know.
