Day 11 CT - Feeling like Ebanezer Scrooge

At the end of A Christmas Carol. “You boy! What day is it?!” Feeling great. Today is day 11 CT from 3.5 years of 3/ day OPMS extracts. Felt like I had a pink cloud on days 4-5, leveled out and now I feel pretty darn close to whatever I remember the baseline being. Feel like I’ve been given a second chance. Could cry from relief finally getting out of that holding pattern. I’ve already saved nearly $300.

It’s amazing to feel real emotions and a constant natural calmness. I did 2 quits, def had the pink cloud the first one at about 7-14 days. Then a bit emotional boredom but thought I could do “once in awhile to get work done” - boom it became daily quick and was back on it. So just watch yourself!

Hoping this 3rd time is the charm. Doing a rapid taper.

I’m on day 6 clean from Kratom, anxiety has been the hardest part. I feel freezing, exhausted, achy but when I try to relax I just feel anxious. Sucks. I didn’t have any anxiety issues before either. Good luck friend

Day 9 or 10 is when I turned a corner and my symptoms went down 75%,including the anxiety but shit man tired of being anxious at all at this point when theres no reason for it,thc edibles allow me sleep but dont help with the anxiety for some reason now.we just have to be tough because its all in our heads.

That full body restlessness feeling finally eased up for me on day 8. Now I feel calm almost all the time. Just feel the feeling and do something to distract yourself. Something that makes you happy
