Trying so hard to get off methadone. On it for 24 yrs. Got myself down to 7 mgs. It's so hard. Can't get out of bed & I have responsibilities. Any advice??

@@kimberlydavies4822 omg you're dragging out the suffering. I went down from 150 to 60 dropping 2mg a day. Then 2mg a week till i got to 16mg. I felt awful. I knew once i was off I'd feel better. Eat ONLY healthy foods even if you have to force something down. If you were to stop now, you'd feel a little worse but ONLY for a short time. I had difficulty sleeping that first week but was NOT EVEN CLOSE TO AS BAD AS PEOPLE THINK. Eat healthy, no ciggs no weed no caffiene. You'll think They're going to help but will make worse. Within 3 weeks I was feeling amazing mentally. And physically. I'd be willing to give any advice i can. You've been suffering for too long. Get it over with and have your FREEDOM. Love and strength. P.s. I know the battle.

Don't worry about it Kurt, one relapse isn't a big thing it's just a slip. I've been a fucked up junkie for over 40 years but still managed to keep a full time job and bring up a family. I turned 60 in April and promised myself I would be clean by then but it never happened so fuck it this looks like my lot so I might aswell enjoy it.

Thank you for sharing with the community. The idea of “I relapsed before I relapsed” hit me as I’ve been (am) struggling as well (EtOH). As a recovering addict I commend you for your bravery and congratulate you for you sharing your life. We all struggle and community is a big help. Here in support of you bro

Kurt. You’re the one that gave me hope. I started around you. I have everything in life I could want. But I have the same feeling. Something wrong inside. It’s called purpose. Lack of purpose is what kills

Feel for you brother I relapsed like 6 months ago been on drugs everyday. Still handling my business but I know this shit is not ok. Derek was the man who helped me get off the fetty watching his WD videos I would replay them over and over through the sickness so I wouldn't feel like I was alone in the nightmare. I know what you mean about getting high for no reason. I hope you get sober soon so I get a little motivation to get clean again.
@billj45255 ай бұрын
I just barely missed it. Would have liked to see the two of you live. You both look really good. Glad to see Derek is having a lot of success on his other channel. I have been clean for years, but I felt horrible less night. I needed some kind of talk last night, or it would be helpful. You're doing great Kurt, keep going strong brother. I have been through the very challenging mental fight that you talk about sometimes, it's very very hard, but we have to keep doing our best. Either way, glad you guys are doing well. Hope to see you guys again.

I’m glad that Kurt thinks of this KZbin channel and the community that surrounds it as a way of holding himself accountable. It’s good for him as well as anyone else who has or is currently going through a similar situation. I wish him all the best! Oh and just a little side note….these guys are so handsome!

Yo Kurt, you thinking getting on MAT such as Suboxone would be beneficial to your sobriety term? I understand you just had a lapse, not a full flown relapse. So it might not be necessary. Something to think about perhaps. Take care bro!

Dam i missed this. It's great seeing you both. Don't get hung up on the small slip. Dam think of how far you have come. You need to go back and look at the videos u made when u 1st moved there and were in bad bad withdrawal. You feel too much about life. A total empath .i really hope you do more videos. ❤❤❤

Hey kurt, i gotta be honest, from your last videos before these I kinda knew from the way you was in those videos it was coming man, I was just hoping that if it was a relapse then it was just gonna be the once and you’d jump straight back on it!! It’s crazy cus I see myself and how I am in you so much! The guilt and shame you must have felt after you did it and the drugs wore off, I can just imagine you feeling exactly how id have felt, I’m still in active addiction and I literally feel helpless, and when I watch your videos you give me so much hope that if you can do it then I can do it, it’s the mind games after getting clean that are the hardest to get through!! But you can do it bro! Don’t feel embarrassed or ashamed mate!! These things happen, like you said it was a one time one thing and you didn’t carry on!! You should be proud bro not embarrassed!! ❤ Daz from 🇬🇧 x
