Hi, I'm Billfish2

Yes I am a recovering, was recovering alcoholic w 30 plus years sober. In the last two years I had several health issues. Had a heart attack, six strokes, an aneurysm discovered while treating one of the strokes. I had recovered from these issues when I went in for Bi- Lateral knee replacement and had yet another stroke during the surgery. I woke from the surgery and had had yest another stroke and lost I'd say 50% of my vision. Between the pain of the surgery, but more so the depression caused by the vision loss I started using prescribed opiates as a crutch - when they ran out. I discovered Kratom and the Kratom extract 7OH - in honesty I chose to become addicted as the relief to both the pain and depression were instant and remarkable. Ive already experienced my first ever withdrawal symptoms and the withdrawal is intense, and I know that I have unresolved issues to deal with surrounding grief of living a very active life that is now very limited due to the vision loss. Looking for helpful resources. Im currently using about 150MG of 7OH 5 times per day about 4-5 hours apart - this will be my first week targets anyways 150 MG at 7 - 11 - 2 - 5 and 8 Next week will tapper down on most doses to 130 on most doses and 150 on my first and las t doses, keeping track of any W/D symptoms.
