[@sunnys3325]

My man..... stay strong my brother! Im right there with u....WE got this!

[@kickinaddiction]

Let’s fucking doooo this! 🤟

[@jackwilliams1371]

im down to 1 mg a day. started at about 6mg a day 8 months ago. ive tried a few times jumping off but failed. funny thing is i only did roxi for one month last year. that one month changed my life forever. i didnt think almost a year later id be battling this situation. im thinking about making the jump very soon since im at a lower dose. have you or anybody watching ever experienced with mood stabilizers like wellbutrin. ive heard a few people say it helped them after getting off subs mainly for depression. depression and anxiety is the thing that most scares me. as we all know opiate wd changes your mood constantly. one second you feel great and think youve kicked it then all the sudden your feel like youre back to day 2. i want something to help with my mood but i also dont want to be trading one drug for another and be dependent on something else. stay strong and keep posting. these videos are very therapeutic for me. people who have never battled this have no clue what we go through thats why we have to stick together.

[@Discovering_Nicole1]

I'm still chillin at 1mg. I dropped to .. .5 & did well for about a week but Then I noticed RLS hitting me on the evening. I went down to .5 against my Doctors advice, so I went back up to 1mg & I'm listening to him. I gotta stick at this 1mg for the amount of time reccomend by my Doctor. :) I was trying to be a doctor for a minute there! Hahahaha!!!!

[@badass1g]

That’s a huge reduction in dose cutting it in half. I’d highly suggest going to .75 as your next dose (this is not medical advice 😜) how long you think until you try going down again? Seems like getting under 1 mg us when physical stuff is for most people including me...

[@dbrammall66]

Covid has thrown a spanner in the works for a lot of people suffering with addiction. Keep kicking ass bro

[@feliciafuehrer741]

We love you. We are so proud of you. Keep on keeping on. You’ve made insane progress. Put one foot I’m front of the other. You’re amazingly inspiring. Thanks for all you do lovey !!!!

[@johnnystockman7948]

Been off that crap for 412 days. Was on it 9 1/2 years. Best decision I’ve ever made. Must stay diligent. Not an easy task but definitely doable. Don’t take Kratom! Just delaying the inevitable. My $.02. -John

[@SUGAR-egg]

What I needed to here. I was addicted to opiates so a lady in recovery gave me some kratom and I got hooked. Bout alot and consumed a lot! Quit kratom with one month of suboxone. Soon I was back on kratom 30 grms a day. Quit CT and in 10 days of pure hell went to ER and said I can't do this so I took some kratom to cure my PAWS. And it did. Went back to Dr and suboxone working, so no WD of kratom. Last day of sub. I had no WD from sub last time and I'm don't with this merrygoround revolving door. Using the SMART RECOVERY plan for my urges! Just abstain... That's the cure

@@parmindersingh-ll9ex the one thing that helped me the most was a clean diet and exercise.

You are doing freaking amazing 👏 keep up that hard work tapering is not easy ! I jumped off 4 mg after being on it for 11 years .So happy for you man !

[@KevinsKontentKorner]

hey, how you doing? how long clean are you?

[@1known2]

Freedom await you. Just subscribed from Australia, known Roberta for a thousand years, wish you well.

[@joecataneo6676]

The taper king 🥇🏆 IFBB ... life beyond your wildest dreams. Big bro, big dog! The man the myth the legend.. yeaaa buddy! Is this Kickin addiction or rich piana god damnit? Anyway you know your the man, felt like you today as I cut my 3mg film in 2.5 and my 2 into 1.5... 4mg here day 1. Day 2 tomorrow.

[@rupturedspeaker3684]

Getting off subs is a process, not a one and done. I went up and down on the doses for 6 months before I finally put it down. So, I'm 17 days w/o any subs and determined to push through no matter the cost. I'll be back often to listen in. I hope you continue well on your journey to health.

[@KevinsKontentKorner]

So what are you going to doing the future when more anxiety happens? What if another wave of covid comes, will you use sub? Life, incidents, will always happen. I'm not trying to preach because I have as of yet failed to get off sub, but I think maybe it's beneficial to sort of give some "tough love." Think about it, you said ONE SUB will last you a month. I mean man, how much withdrawal can you expect from one sub a month? I get it, trust me, I've been on sub for longer than I'd care to admit, and have numerous failed attempts to get off it. Stop doing this to yourself. Stopping, starting, rinse, repeat. Just do it ONCE man and be done, no matter what. I'm yelling at myself along with you, trust me. Also, very important, you are making it so much worse for yourself by psyching yourself out. You're in great shape, you can take time off as needed. What did you do with your week off? Any recovery work? You have no excuse not to get off sub to be honest. It sounds like you need to take your own advice at 5:32. I recently quit smoking, and here's the kicker. I failed to quit when I had days off, I always tried to quit when I wasn't working, but idle time is your enemy when quitting. KEEP BUSY. I quit right when the corona started hitting hard, I worked at a grocery store, and i had A TON of extra energy that first week when we had so much to do, it really truly helped me quit smoking being busy nonstop. I hope I didn't come off as too much of a dick, but I'm similar to you, I weaned up and down and back and forth and stopped and started and man, I wish I was at .25mg now. I jumped from higher and made it 25 days. My excuse is i sat around all day depressed as fuck and tired and i live with someone who's also prescribed sub, so I gave in. ME. Not anyone else. Blame yourself, and when you do finally beat this thing, take all the pride and glory that YOU deserve. Peace my brother, good luck, and I hope you make it.

[@cherbear6377]

I know you're scared but I jumped at .25 and it's been 3 years and it wasn't bad at all

[@KevinsKontentKorner]

3 years off sub? awesome. how long were you on it? also, what are you doing watching sub videos if you're three years off lol

[@1ststepfitnessandrecovery111]

Good job bro

[@matty6848]

I’m now 3 weeks clean as in was addicted to Opiod based painkillers for nearly 4 years and never felt better. I contacted Swanswell charity which is a U.K based drug addiction charity they carried out a assessment with their G.P who was great and they put me Espranor which not only stops any withdrawal but is a blocker to your receptors so even if you take opiods you don’t have any high effects so it’s a complete waste of time taking them. Don’t know if you use Espranor in America or if you even call it by the same name but it has definitely worked for me. Good luck all what ever problem you have!

[@Mr.E419]

Dude, that's awesome! You look like you're doing great 👌🏻 Im still at 2mgs and feeling a good amount of withdrawal throughout the day (I tapered down too fast). But it looks like your withdrawal is minor which is giving me hope. Thx for the update✌🏻

[@kickinaddiction]

Know your limits and don’t push yourself faster then your limits will allow buddy. Congrats on getting down to 2mg that’s a really low dose!

[@jklhu]

Hey good stuff man!! .25 mg is great!!! I’m currently on 8mg a day and I’m trying to taper! I’m also currently on testosterone and take a small dose of 250mg of sustanon a week (2 .5cc shots a week). The only reason I bring that up is because the test has been making it a little bit easier to taper off subs and I’m hoping it will give me the boost I need to power through coming off. Have you ever used test or steroids in general?

[@keepitallthewayfunky3448]

That’s the low I’m at barely crumbs. I’ve been at it since April but I can’t function . The doctor did say if you jump now at 0.25 every other day , in 90 days , it’s the same out come , just stretching the same result. And PAWs ( post acute withdrawal syndrome) can creep up on you for months or years I’m like 😳 what?!!! Am I ever getting off this beast? 👋🇨🇦✌🏽

[@Rlovencupcakes]

Hey you, good 4 you for handling this taper! Do u think u can just jump at this point? I bet alot of it is just only mental...anyway no matter what it's all good, you got it

[@cnd.9003]

I was at crumbs for months. It’s basically prolonging it If you can’t go lower you gotta do it or nah. I get it hurts . But if you’re at 1/16 th just jump. You’ll still have the same out come in 6 months or 2 years . I had 4 mg. last 16 days . I had to do or die and get over it . It hurts a bit but its doable . Mostly Digestive distress and get some melatonin for sleep.. But I get the prolonged part it’s never the right day to decide to feel shitty for a week or soo

[@Idaknough]

Always appreciate your videos!! How are you feeling? Started in oct on 12 mg. Got to 8 easy easy! 12 was too much. Then somehow i got to 6 then 4..then 2...then corona 4...then 2 now trying now trying 1.5!!! Its been ok but now is when i feel the jumps!! I dont know what to do. Im in public education and wanted to be healed up from the taper before august!! Ima just keep keepin on...i guess. How are you doing? Please?

[@Polecat-qz5om]

I’m off been off and body building feels horrible now

[@stevied1975]

I was subs for 2 years took 8mg on a Monday then on Tuesday I cut it to 2mg then cut myself off on Sunday all within a week and never went back it’s a true mindset my only side thing taken was Kratom

[@matty6848]

Well done Steve. It’s take a lot off balls to take that leap especially when you’ve been addicted for so long. Good work on getting clean bro👍🙏🏼💪🏻

[@hussycaboose]

Dude, you’ve got this!! It’s been 3 years for me now. Use the taper I told you and I promise, the suffering is temporary and you’ll get through it faster than you can even imagine! Also, dude, subs seriously hold back gains!! I’m up 45 lbs of muscle in the past 3 years!!! Get off of subs and you’ll be a mass monster!! Haha

[@matty6848]

Agreed. When your in addiction you don’t make any gains at all because you don’t eat properly and the body isn’t firing on all cylinders. Since I got clean already I’ve put a stone in weight which in American money is about 14lbs. I’ve never felt better and more positive getting clean.

[@Higher_human1]

I just got my first sub script, I don’t want to be on this forever but have been battling abusing pain meds for a little over 2 years now. Any advice I can get from some people in the comments?

[@Idaknough]

She is right! If you are going to get your life back on subs just start tapering as soon as physically possible. Like as soon as you can. Dont be on this forever! Dont get complacent with your sobriety! Use subs to get level headed enough to start over with a clear head enough to understand whatever recovery path you want to take. Use it to your advantage!! Good luck! These channels have helped me sooo much!

[@davidwilliams2481]

Hey bro does your brain heal when your tapering thanks

[@anonymousthug3718]

Thats amazing ❤

[@kerrithompson140]

I think you should try skipping days... so many people say that helped them.. 🔥

[@Jazz434343]

Just curious, how long till your off everything? I feel like it’s been a long time.

[@kickinaddiction]

It’s a bumpy ride!! If I had a magic ball I’d love to give you an exact date. Thanks for following

[@feliciafuehrer741]

Lol respectfully said, this isn’t really an appropriate question to someone who is already being extremely vulnerable. ... “how long till you’re off everything..,?” You’re not an addict are you? It’s a process. If he KNEW, he would have been off of it already. It’s the hardest stuff to get off. (Again. Said respectfully. Not trying to be nasty... but this guy is trying his ASS OFF
