Day 32 for me brotha! I’m literally on the same path as you. Getting stronger physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. Working out every day and deal with a lot of the same struggles as you. It’s a trip what addiction can do to the mind and how much you can learn and grow after being sober.
It’s only up from here brother! We’re in this together. We have got to start solid for our family and ourselves. Yes, you learn so much after you quit. It’s almost like you forgot so much while you were using.
You're glowing man! 2 weeks off Kratom for me now. It's a night and day difference with the drive you have for life. Thank you for the inspiration Keith. I bet your wife is benefiting so much from you quitting, and I'm sure my partner is too. Kratom addiction is basically checking out of life, which is ironic as I started it to be able to face life at the time.
Thank you!! Heck yeah I’m glad to hear that! I wondered how it was going with you. My wife is happy! I think her respect for me grew. You’re so right. We start taking it to face life better. Then it’s a huge crutch. Definitely makes you check out.
Let’s go Man. Appreciate the vids. You got good perspective. Me and Kratom have a weird relationship over the years. Recently picked it up again after not using it for 5 years. Was a go to when I didn’t have my DOC. Ended up getting on suboxone 2018, Got off the suboxone Oct 2023, Lasted 2 weeks with nada then caved and hit the gas station for K. Been taking it almost every day this past month, But back of my head is saying this isn’t the way. got off subs for a reason ya know. That said, K doubles as a huge preworkout for me- cardio specifically. Can run for days 😂 Keep doing the good work, cheers
Thank you for watching brother! When I first started taking kratom, I had great gym sessions! Working out sober feels more rewarding though my brother tbh.
Thanks for putting yourself out there and speaking up, I’m coming to an end on my experience getting off. Heavy taper. It’s been much easier than when I went cold turkey the first time. Congratulations, brother
36 days free from kratom! This stuff is deep deep deep in my bones. I can feel the numbness slowly leaving my legs, the cloud starting to lift from my brain, my speech is clearer or more concise….all is better every day!
Yeah bro ❤🤜🤛 Everything on point. Always good to see you. All of this stuff you’re talking about is very important. You got it dude. Don’t really have anything to add at the moment. Definitely gotta be strong and put in the work, you hit everything. I am just happy to know you are on the right track and sticking to it and really I can see everything is in the right place, so just gotta keep doing what you’re doing. Im definitely going through hard times myself lately, it’s rough, but it’s very complicated. I’ve learned so many lessons throughout my life, knowing what to do and what not to do, but the stuff I’m going through lately is still beating me up badly. But I don’t want to bring things down and feels like too much to explain. Anyway, yeah dude I’m definitely happy for you. Matters a lot to me.
Congrats on the 100 days, I recently quit for 1 month while watching your vids then got back on like 2-3 days a week but thinking of just quitting for good since the temptation is there to use more often and I don't want to be a daily user again. Anyways, you mentioned you have some issues with posterior tibial tendonitis, look into getting custom orthotics if you haven't already. I have really high arches and had pronation on one of my feet that was causing knee/hip issues and this helped a lot.
Yeah brother the temptation is big! I have custom orthotics, haven’t worn them in a while but just started wearing them again. I was an idiot for stopping. I think I might have developed a slight pronation from not wearing them. But such is life. We live and learn brother. I hope you can quit kratom for good brother. 🤜🤛
So proud of you bra!! You are such an inspiration to me. Been following your whole journey. Glad I caught your videos when I did because they got me to realize that starting kratom again was a bad bad idea. Been trying to quit for the entire time I got back on it. So glad I got so many clean days that I did because the wds haven't been that bad. I had to leave Kauai and come to Texas to detox at my moms and she has been so supportive. On day 4 now and I'm already sleeping and eating alot. I have no choice but to stop also because I gave my mom all my cash I brought with me and my cards. It's essential, I believe, to have a strong network of people that want the best for you. Mahalo cuz
phew man, wish me luck. Gonna try getting off kratom. I've been stuck on it for 6 months now. I used it to get off hydrocodone. I will try using a vitamin c to ease some withdrawls since im doing really high dose kratom. Been slowly lowering the dosage
You got this bro! Your body is ready! Vitamin C and magnesium. Take vitamins, stretch everyday, stay hydrated, and pray. Tbh, getting and keeping your mind strong is the most important part.
Didn't know it could be a problem for some. Occasionally I may take one or two in a day to take the edge off anxiety. Guess I'll have to make sure not to use much of it.
Good one, man. I'm still sticking to my taper. It's just started to affect my sleep. The last 2 nights, I've had to "borrow" a few caps from the next morning's tapered dose to get back to sleep at 2AM. Today, I'll be at 24 half gram caps. I take one less everyday. Got a family get together this weekend where everyone will be drinking except me. The temptation to skip the taper will be there, but i won't give in.
It's been over 2 weeks for me! I ended up doing a rapid suboxone taper because my stomach was such a mess I couldnt taper any longer. Im off everything now and feeling great! I cant believe how much better my skin is. Also....is it just me or is your hair looking thicker!? Awesome!!
Heck yeah dude! Keep going. You have a journey in front of you, but you’re right. Every day gets better. You’ll notice that 3 days might be the same, then bam, more progress. Keep going!
Very similar story as you. Quit more than 2 mts. The only way to quit is to see what Kratom does to us. One it desensitized mind body and soul. Two it will diminish your faculties enough so you won't recognize who you were. If taking it for pain, the least amount of pain is to deal with pain being the best you can be mentally. I would rather fight something being mentally strong right now than pushing it away by self medicating and later to find when you hit the wall that you are feeble minded and can't or don't have your fight anymore. Choose life recognize the demonic substance of KRATOM.
its truly demonic, theres a dark spirit in that plant. when I was coming off it the little sleeep i got was filled with vivid nightmares, that I can only describe as the demon leaving me , it was terrible! but now three weeks off I see clearly that everything we put in our bodies can have a good or bad spirit to it so we must be ever wise from now on with serious dicernment like our lives depend on it.
@@StrongKeithJI'm just about out of kratom so planning on whenever I get my next 250gram bag on payday (In 2 days on the 20th) As far as a taper I have a few plans written out going to decide which one I want to do tommorow afternoon.
You’re right man! My eyes too. They were sunk in. I have a picture that I took like 2 days before I quit. I look sick! 90 days? Congratulations! You are on the other side!

That’s awesome. I’m glad you’re getting off bro!
Man love your video helping me a lot I’m 13 days no Kratom and almost 2 days no weed. You seem like a real cool dude. Thanks again for the inspiration
Thank you brother. I try to be honest, humble, and also I try to kill it at life. Sounds like you’re killing it too! I’m happy for you.
@@StrongKeithJ yep 3 kids. Working non stop and just trying to live a Godly life. Thanks again
@@jeredubz24 Godly is huge! 🤜🤛
👏 Well done
Thank you very much!
36 days free from kratom! This stuff is deep deep deep in my bones. I can feel the numbness slowly leaving my legs, the cloud starting to lift from my brain, my speech is clearer or more concise….all is better every day!
It's the only substance that literally stays in the bones for 8-10months after quitting. That's a fact recently discovered.
That’s awesome brother! You’re killing it! You only continue to get better! 🤜🤛
This legit makes a lot of sense. No wonder so many people relapse. It’s still in their bones for months. Where did you hear this at??
Yeah bro ❤🤜🤛
Everything on point.
Always good to see you.
All of this stuff you’re talking about is very important.
You got it dude.

Also on that tendinitis, walking barefoot more can help that. Look into that
Thank you brother. I’ll look into it.
Didn't know it could be a problem for some. Occasionally I may take one or two in a day to take the edge off anxiety. Guess I'll have to make sure not to use much of it.
Yes it can definitely get out of hand. I was pretty clueless about the addiction potential myself.

Heck yeah dude! Keep going. You have a journey in front of you, but you’re right. Every day gets better. You’ll notice that 3 days might be the same, then bam, more progress. Keep going!
Day 39 here. Finally feeling normal. 🙏
It only gets better! That’s awesome! I hope you’re working out. It helps so much.
@@StrongKeithJ not as much as I would like to, but I'm definitely squeezing in a good workout a few days each week.
@@AkiraSudoko That’s awesome! Keep it up!

I can’t agree more! I would rather face it head on! You said it perfectly.

That’s a good way to put it. Evil spirit leaving your body. It’s gone from us!
Your hair grow back
It does feel slightly thicker. Not much though. It’s a hereditary problem. Lol
Im going to taper when I quit.
I don’t blame you! When do you think you’ll start the taper?

@@Brandon-ir6xl I’ll pray for you brother. You got this!
U look good man ur face is way fuller.. u can always tell if someone takes something casue there cheeks sink n..I got almost 90 days
