Absolutely, I definitely think there’s no singular “right way” to do recovery.
What works for some, won’t work for others.
Even within stuff like 12 step programs there are different ways to go about it, and people engage at different levels.
Do what works for you.
Everyone on here who tries to give advice and help you out has the best intentions and wants to see you succeed, but of course we can only really speak from our own experiences, which are different to yours so may not fit as well.
Congrats on hiring a coach, that sounds like a really positive step forward in tackling your addiction!
My #1 DOC is alcohol, but I have many years experience with kratom(and I don’t see it mentioned much around here). I was scared of alcohol withdrawal when I went on probation and someone told me it could help. Idk if that’s even true, but I tried it. While on probation, I got into opiates real bad. Basically everything besides heroin. The first time I went thru withdrawal, my (ex)bf told me kratom would help. It did. So then, when I didn’t have pills or subs, I used it to get by. Every 3-4 hours and even in the middle of the night to sleep. After a few years, I was able to quit opiates relatively easy bc of the drastic toll they took on my life…but not kratom. I was scared to fully withdraw, so I tapered down very very slowly. So kudos for going cold turkey Similar to alcohol, being so readily available makes it that much harder. I read that a huge percentage of those who quit eventually return to using, so stay vigilant
I think it’s great you’re considering going fully sober! Since I only used kratom to avoid withdrawal and feel ‘normal’, I didn’t notice a significant change to my personality to where I didn’t feel like myself, but I do relate to that from alcohol. All the anxiety over what life will be like without, fades away. The more comfortable you get with the real you, the easier it becomes to make those real connections. I wish you all the best on your journey
