I just got done kicking a nine year opiod habit, was all prescription from day one but I decided to see if I could get off them.

The last six years at 180 mg of morphine in pill form PER DAY.

It's taken eleven days but I think I'm there now, a little bit of uncomfort left but it went faster than I thought it would.

Kratom and legal marijuana did it, lots of both but IT WORKED.

I can't even fathom coming down in an instant.

It wasn't fun but it can be done, I never had the mental addiction issue but my body sure loved it, almost over now.
