My brain feels like it's on fire and I can't control my emotions or thoughts
Chronic drug & alcohol abusers often have an obsessive craving for control.
And an intense fear of experiencing a wide range of human emotions.
Yes, my substance abuse was more or less about control; allowing me to have the means/a-tool to control my emotions, life and thoughts at will and or on that whim of myself; now having given up those tools it feels like pure chaos. Although I am finding great solace in this, I have felt asleep- only now awoken to the world. I slumbered for too many years deluding myself and my consciousness/sub-consciousness that I was the one in control even though I was not.

I have to say that this time I'm not quitting because I want to, but because I am sick and tired of being sick and tired from doctors playing fucking games with my health. It's sad when you can go to the methadone clinic and get all you want but if you're really sick they jerk you around, take your money and leave you hanging. Love my weed card, it's been a lifesaver at times, but some days nothing helps, no matter how much I take and I'm on a fixed income and can't stay on the clinic for $500 a month, thats a rent payment for some.
It has gotten to the point that I have stopped ALL medications, because I just don't give a fuck anymore. Every time it's time to see the doctor or god for bid go to the ER, I'm treated like a criminal instead of a patient and I'm just done with it, because no one person that can do anything about it, will stand up for people like myself. As a matter of fact, they say that helping people in chronic pain today that can only be prescribed opiates, aren't worth risking their licenses over. I get that the DEA has their hands tied, but there's no excuse for treating people like this.
My experience with withdrawal from opiates due to chronic pain issues is exactly why I can relate to the recreational users battle to get free. Add a medical condition to withdrawal and you have a recipe for disaster, it will make you suicidal.
I'm also tired of being afraid of the blood thinners, they scare me way more than a blood clot, which I've had several. I just want to live what time I have left on my terms and not being controlled by drugs.
LSD and Mushrooms with cannabis, that's all I need, to Hell with the drugs that cause physical dependency!
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rant, but do want to sincerely wish you all the best and say I feel you and anyone else who travels this path, because it's full of quagmires.
I am praying for you my friend; I've had multiple surgeries on my hip, knee and ankle all on the right side of my body; unfortunately or fortunately however you want to look at it- I have learned to walk a total of three times, after each major surgery/accident I was unable to walk and told several times walking again may not even be an option for me- yet here I am; walking.
I understand pain, I understand the desire to stop the pain; to be able to live without that constant agonizing throbbing; I am on Buphernorpine for my OUD but I am also prescribed it for minimal pain management, so more or less I will be on this medication the rest of my life. It helps with the pain; slightly but it is always still there- much more so now than ever before. I'm going skiing later today and my knee already akes just thinking about it.
Sending good vibes your way man, If you ever need anybody to talk to

OP here, been on kratom and opium still after a full decade of addiction now. Stopped using all other opis entirely for quite some time, fentalogs nearly clipped me a few times too many.
I got a provider for ibogaine in mexico, setting official date to leave next week. I face up and discovered that if I dont detox off it now I will have to do it in the end anyway, even if its in the next life. I would rather try to use ibogaine.
I am not coming back to shroomery, dont fret. I have a job now and do things with myself, I do not use forums at all anymore.
I am sorry for the sins I commited here against my fellow Man, and that is something I wrote a short letter about recently, its not on my ipad or I would post it now.
Facing up, and facing true, now is the time.

I’m sure you figured it out but…… wait longer it took me a week to get all the fent out my system. The biggest thing with quitting is knowing that you’re gonna be fucking miserable for at least a couple weeks. Life doesn’t get much better for at least months. Your brains takes a long time to bounce back after extended use for years.
I know it seems counter productive but here’s my tek.
Day 1-3 - take a benzo or two a day, preferably at night. Also 2000mg of magnesium. This helps with the restless legs and the benzos knock you out so you can actually get a few hours of sleep.
Day 4-7 heavy of the kratom and don’t ever touch the benzos again. This hits the same receptors that your opioid of choice does as well so it keeps you feeling decent.
Day 7+ Get to the doctor and take some subs. Nobody ever needs more than 8 mg no matter what they tell you. Stay on that course for about 3 month or so and slowly wean yourself off after that.
There are tons of remedies out there and doctors will absolutely tell you not to take any benzo while withdrawing. Because you’re an addict duhhh. I’m telling you you need this shit it is literally a lifesaver it makes it so you can stay awake without wanting to blow your brains out, and actually get some sleep. I’m a year clean right now and the counselor that I voluntarily see every month tells me I should be doing TedTalks with my success story.
Having an appreciation for life again and getting your normal self back is literally priceless, it took me years to quit and a really good support system, which everyone needs, but it’s the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. Think about the ones that have loved you in life, because they will again no matter what you have done to them.
DONT DO ANY IOP PROGRAM!!!!! Can’t stress this enough!! They are just gonna stick you in a room for six hours a day with 10 other people that want drugs just as bad as you really bad combination

Finally did it guys, finally got clean from all opis/kratom after a decade of severe addiction. The ibogaine worked a miracle and got me through.
Today I have a little over 4 months clean.

19 months clean now. I believe in miracles. I’ll never forget how this website and koods helped save my life. I used to be ungrateful but that’s all changed. Everything is different now and everyone I used to know is either dead or dying. Today was the best day of my life and it’s not a problem for me if no one can understand why. In short, thank you shrooms and thank you shroomery.
I will never truly come back here this is just another throw away account to give an update. Seems like everything has changed here a lot.
I member when we used to joke about fentanyl being in everything here years ago, now it’s killed half my friends and almost killed me. So grateful me and a few others made it out before it was too late.
Peace shroomery, I’m never forgetting you.
