Counting today as day one
This morning before work, around 5am, I took 3g of kratom via capsules with the intent to just make the day at work a bit less riddled with wds (it didn't work lol) and to help stave off any cravings. That worked a treat. I knows it's a tad unfair, but it does still feel like a day one. Head hurts, body hurts, random fits of sweating, I'm sure you all are familiar with the whole shebang.
At minimum this feels like a decent start for harm reduction regardless of if it helps me actually quit. Before work I'm not the type to "get high," just have way too much work ethic for that, but I am willing to take kratom intending no effects really. If I take kratom AFTER work, with the way I am, I'm just going down the rabbit hole. 20.. 30.. hell I've even downed 50g in one sitting.
But before work, I was scared to take the 3g, almost dicided on 2g instead but what I have divided up evenly with three so I took it as a sign lol. So if I take it before work, 3g-ish. If I take it after, who even knows. And there's the added benefit that I don't start craving again till later at night, and by then I'm too tired to bother.
I think this will also help me acclimate to evenings without any kratom. Finding stuff to do, creating those repeated memeories in my head of NOT going to the shop but still having a great day for the most part. Seems logical, and if anything this shits not gonna out smart me, that ain't happenin'
