Get a scale and measure so you have some idea of how much you’re taking. Tapering down is usually around 10 to 20% every 3 to 5 days. If you drop down and you feel withdrawals, stay on that dose until it goes away(it could be a week or more). Go at the pace your body tells you. it’s going to suck. Remember that a low dose of kratom is 3g. once you reach 3g, and aren’t having withdrawals, start trying to skip days. Since you don’t want to entirely quit, if your able to go without kratom for days without withdrawals that means you aren’t physically addicted to it.

I went up to 8g a dose twice a day because of anxiety. Morning, lunch and 4g an hour before bed for months . Life got better and on good days, I wouldn’t take any but felt like shit and realized it was withdrawals. Mine are chills, joint and body aches, cold and hot flashes, nausea and irritability.I tapered down over 3.5 months with relapses along the way cause life is hard. I now take 5g maybe twice a week around mid day. Its enough for the mood lift and anti anxiety. Maybe once a month I’ll take 8 on a Saturday for a good buzz. Luckily I don’t have a predisposition for addiction. My usage just sort of crept up on me. Since you’re aware of your usage, which is the first step, and the fact you’re doing something about it means you’re serious about this. That you were able to just stop for that long speaks to your strength.

If once a week works for you, please keep going. Im just telling you what worked for me and that you have options. You have ppl around you that care for you. Let them. If you need to talk, you can DM me.

My guess is candidates and handlers told him to stop. He begrudgingly agreed, took his meds, felt great and said fuck that im the greatest and will single handedly win this midterm.

How much were you taking before and how much are you taking on your one day? I know some ppl can’t taper down and prefer to just go cold turkey because there too much temptation. Im asking because if you’re doing once a week, you will be able to manage withdrawals better by tapering down thoughout the weeks, but only you know if you’re able to handle the temptation. Maybe have your bf give you the doses and only they know where its at.

I use keepass, but i have 4 back ups on different drives and 3 locations. I also have my main passphrases written down on a notebook that are also encoded with a Caesar cipher. Haven’t lost data yet. If I forget my password or lose my book, I’m fucked, but that’s security

Every week I learn something about the nords that I like. I need to look at work visa options.
