Damn this is tough but I’ll never stop fighting. I quit taking plain leaf kratom yesterday. I didn’t take SR or suboxone or any helper meds during this detox. Just plain leaf and pure grit and Im fresh out of plain leaf. Fuck it feels amazing and terrible at the same time. My emotions are all over the place and it feels good to feel something. Music sounds INSANE. It’s hitting harder than ever before. I’ve been listening to the same song on repeat for 2 days and it still hasn’t gotten old somehow. After quitting the kratom I’m having some rebound withdrawals but nothing I can’t handle. Fuck I’m a savage for this. Excited for the weekend. This week at work has been difficult to say the least. Thanks for everyone who’s DM’d me and commented on my posts. Yall help me more than you know. I appreciate the continued support, encouragement and atta boys. I know I’m doing the right thing but man it still hurts. My whole body is screaming and I want to cry and idk if it’s happy tears or sad tears but I’m down for either right now. Day 8 baby. Let’s get it.

1 week since I took MGM15. Took MIT the first day or two. Then just plain leaf. I ran out of plain leaf this morning and decided I’m just not gonna buy anymore. So as of right now I’m stone cold sober since 7am. Honestly, all things considered, I’m feeling pretty damn good about myself right now. Withdrawals are minimal today so far. Sleep still sucks and I feel weird but not terrible

6 days no MGM. Took MIT the first day and plain leaf kratom ever since day 3. No other helper meds. Lots of people were asking about how much MGM I was taking. I don’t really know —it was about 2-4 Hyroxi tabs a day. Feeling better by the day but every time I try and stop the plain leaf I get withdrawals and can’t sleep and feel awful again. I guess I’m gonna wait until the weekend and rip the band aid off. I’ve been eating capsules all day without really counting. Turns out I’ve been eating way more than I thought. Probably close to 20 or 25 grams a day of plain leaf. Yikes. Now I gotta find a way off this crap. Even still, my life is so so so much better on plain leaf than it was on MGM. That shit was stealing my soul, I swear. I feel like my personality is already coming back and I’m laughing with my coworkers and way less irritable. I’m sleeping some but not great. Maybe 4 or 5 hours a night. Anyways I’m doing good. Almost at the 1 week mark off MGM and things are looking up around here.

Day 5 without MGM. Been taking plain leaf as much as I feel like (prob around 15g per day but not really counting). Last night I ran out of kratom and decided I was done and going cold turkey. Well lo and behold I woke up thinking it was time for work and sure enough it was 4am and I was kicking and jerking and sweating still. I’ve gotta be able to function at work today so I’ve decided to buy some more kratom plain leaf and stay on a couple more days. Stayed up all night sweating and watching the clock waiting until the SS opens so I can go and get some plain leaf. OveralI do feel better than day 1-3 but without the plain leaf as a crutch I’m still withdrawing pretty hard. I’ll give myself until day 7 and then gonna try and quit the kratom again. Worst case I wait until the weekend to kick the kratom because I don’t have work. I found myself laughing with my coworkers yesterday and getting along with everybody so well, when on MGM I was a miserable irritable antisocial asshole. My personality is starting to come back very slowly. Feels good. Can’t wait to get off the plain leaf and really get my life back.

Typed out a whole detailed thing and my phone froze up but basically it’s day 4 I’m back at work I’m feeling much better better still taking plain leaf as needed but worried about getting addicted to that so gonna try and quit that shit real soon. Slept 7 hours last night and in a much better mood today. Still residual withdrawals for sure but overall I’m
Ok. It’s almost the end of day 4

Quit Hyroxi tabs cold turkey without tapering last dose was on Thursday around 11am, it’s now Sunday at noon so it’s been a full 3 days. I took MIT the first day (that was rough) then on days 2 and 3 I’ve been taking like 15+ grams of plain leaf. Mind you the plain leaf helps take away SOME of the withdrawals, but it certinalt doesn’t get me a buzz, not even close. Hell I’m withdrawing right now and I’ve taken like 8 grams already today. Sleeping about 4 hours a night but hey I’ll take it. How long do these withdrawals go on for you all? I was thinking I’d be in a better place by now but nope. Been hitting the gym during the day and having some beers at night with my lady if I’m honest. Anyways just an update. Hoping to drop the plain leaf altogether and go full sober very soon but just depends when these dark withdrawals let up from the Hyroxi tabs cold

So the r/quitting7oh sub won’t let me post. Question is how do you manage cravings when they come? I’m like 5 days off MGM but still taking MIT daily and even still my cravings for MGM are HEAVY today. Only thing keeping me from getting some is 1 I’m at work and 2 I told the lady at the vape shop what I was dealing with and how bad the withdrawals are and told her DO NOT sell me anymore Hyroxi tabs PLEASE. So it would be pretty embarrassing to go back in today and try and buy some. I’ve had over 100 days clean several times in the past but I always end up getting a strong craving around day ~100 and it causes me to relapse. How do I manage this? I go to the gym, stay busy with work, hang out with friends / girlfriend, i do everything I can think of to keep my mind occupied and still I go back and use again. Anybody have tips on how to manage cravings when they come? Thanks

Been taking MIT only and feeling much better. Yesterday I switched to plain leaf capsules. Today I woke up around 5am couldn’t sleep. Didn’t feel THAT bad and tried to go full cold turkey no plain leaf or MIT nothing. My cravings were so bad I ended up stopping at the store otw here and got some MIT. Trying not to beat myself up since I have still been clean from MGM. Cravings are a son of a bitch. At the vape shop, I looked directly at the 7staxx, Hyroxi tabs, the “press’d” pills, hydroxie, etc and didn’t buy any of them. My store in Florida still sells all of it btw. They literally have bottle labeled “DHM tablets” for sale. Like they straight up sell DHM and MGM everyday legally somehow. Whatever. I didn’t want any of it. Just the MIT. I’ll wait a bit longer and then try again to kick the MIT. My life is already 5x better off the MGM pills. Still wanna get off the MIT and kratom too though. Gotta be patient with my recovery I suppose. This shit is hard guys. But I’m still fighting. Thanks for everyone’s support

I took my last 1/4 tab of Hyroxi (MGM15) 2 days ago and have since only taken MIT. I’ve been sleeping HARD too, which is crazy but I’ll take it. The MIT is getting me thru. Today I woke up and wanted MIT bad so I took a bunch and to my surprise I got a nice buzz of it but I really want to be off everything and to full sober so I guess today’s my last day on MIT. Tomorrow I’ll switch to plain leaf kratom and do a rapid taper from that and then go full cold turkey. So far this detox has been way way easier than when I did cold turkey off high doses of MGM with zero helper meds(life changing experience, for the worst)but I can’t wait to be off everything. Will update again in the next couple days when I’m stable on the plain leaf and again when I’m off everything. Thanks for everything guys I appreciate the support and feedback and good luck to all of you

I was taking about 2-4 Hyroxi tabs per day. No idea how much MGM is in them. Let me know! Anyways, yesterday I only took 1.5 tabs, and today I’m trying to only take 1 tablet mixed with a bunch of MIT seltzers. The problem is that the MIT seltzers barely touches the MGM withdrawal at all. Within the next 2-3 days I plan to be tapered down to either .5 of a Hyroxi tablet or better yet, zero Hyroxi. Planning to use MIT / plain leaf to bridge the gap and then go cold turkey. Mind you, I do not have access to SR, suboxone, gabapentin, clonidine or benzos. Just megadosing 2200 mg of liposomal vitamin C every 2 hours, taking 1/4 of a Hyroxi and as much MIT as I can take without making myself dizzy. I have the next 2 days off work so really trying to take advantage of those 2 days and taper as best I can so next week I can make the jump. Any advice for me? This shit is no joke
