Hey Everyone,

I’m currently contemplating a taper. I’ve had problems with addiction my full life. Mostly drugs. My brother committed suicide two years ago and I turned to food.

6 months ago I had a gastric sleeve. Removing food I turned to DHC currently taking 350mg to 600mg per day.

I’ve always thought I had the ability to stop before I went too far and have shown this with previous addictions. But in the last month my dose has went up 25%.

I would like to think of realistic ways to taper. I’m going on holiday to vegas a once in lifetime holiday for me a week on Sunday and don’t want to WD there.

My partner is supportive of my decision. I also worry about work in the past two years I’ve managed to create a successful business. The first thing I’ve managed to Truly stick after leaving my job as a nurse.

I suppose I’m scared of losing everything for this stupid addiction.

Thanks for listening 🙂
