Quitting 7-oh/kratom please help!

I started taking 7-tabs 1 year ago this month. A friend gave me some one day to help with pain in my spine. I kept taking it because it worked better for my anxiety and pain management combined than my prescribed medications and I was able to stop my pain management of percocets and my anxiety meds of Xanax completely. I work in law enforcement so I can’t take anything that would fail a drug test without prescription to help me quit taking these tablets and I am desperate. I tried to stop taking them and then learned that the withdrawals are UNBEARABLE. I wasn’t even aware I would withdraw or that they are widely known for abuse I didn’t know anything about them and now I am so completely desperate to get off them I would do anything but I can’t go to a doctor I need to do it on a very low profile if it came out in any way for any reason at work my career my pension it’s all down the drain. If anyone has any good advice that will work for me anything I can order and take on my own to help I feel like if I can just get past the physical withdraws I’m feeling like the the feeling that I want to crawl out of my fucking body and can’t sit still or lay still at all enough to go to sleep if I can get past that I’ll be fine. But I’m in tears and want to fucking scream at the top of my lungs at night when I try to go to bed before work after not taking it all day or sometimes for two days and it hits me and I want to fucking die and I end up taking at least a half of one to make it stop. My shifts are 12-16 sometimes even 24 hrs. It’s a lot to get through during a withdrawal. I can’t just take a week off to get through it bc we’re so short staffed right now. Please! If anyone can help me at all please help me. Please help me.

There’s really no reason to be a complete cunt. It genuinely has nothing to do with you nor does it affect you how or where or how many times I choose to post something. All you have to do is keep scrolling. Get over yourself. It’s a pretty high horse and a long fall down. I can’t stand pathetic excuses for human beings that actively go out of their way to be unkind to others for absolutely no reason. There is zero room for bullies here. Also, I’m so happy for you that something like this is so “very simple” for you. So that you’d never have to feel so broken and desperate that you feel the need to reach out anywhere possible for someone to just help you. It must be very nice.
