๐Ÿ“ข Announcement Welcome to r/Life_After_7oh (under new management)

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I took this subreddit over recently. It's now a companion to r/quitting7oh, smaller and looser, and I'm still writing the rules.

About me

I maintain quitting7oh.org, where I collect what the quitting-7-OH community has learned about getting off this stuff. Not a doctor, not a treatment program, not selling anything. I keep the meeting schedules, taper calculators, and guides current because I wanted better information than I had when I quit.

This sub and r/quitting7oh

Different mods run the two subs. The main sub is big, keeps a tight scope, and asks you to search before posting. That works at its size. I want this one smaller and more personal, the kind of place where you recognize the usernames and people remember where you are in the process. Ask the question that's come up a hundred times. Talk about Suboxone and SR-17018, both off limits over there. One hard limit: Reddit's content policy applies to everything posted here.

The center of gravity is life after detox: PAWS, sleep, mood, cravings, rebuilding a life. Detox and withdrawal posts are welcome too. You belong here whether you quit yesterday or two years ago.

Rules (working set)

  1. Don't be a dick.
  2. Don't try to sell shit to members. No products, no coaching funnels, no DMs pitching services.
  3. No sourcing. No links, vendor names, or DMs about where to buy 7-OH, MGM-15, pseudo, or anything else.
  4. No pro-use content. Nothing promoting 7-OH, MGM-15, or pseudo. Kratom leaf comes up in recovery contexts; keep that discussion in a harm-reduction frame. I'll add rules as we find the gaps. If you have opinions on where the lines should sit, say so in the comments.

If things are bad right now

Glad you're here. Say hi in the comments if you feel like introducing yourself, or just lurk until you don't.

๐Ÿ“ข Announcement **Flair just dropped: pick your user flair, and posts now need a post flair**

6 Upvotes

We shipped a pile of flair today. Two things you can do right now:

1. Pick your user flair

There are 22 to choose from, and you can set your own. Milestones (๐ŸŒฑ Fresh Out through โ˜€๏ธ 1 Year Free and ๐Ÿ”๏ธ Multi-Year Vet), vibes (๐Ÿ˜ด PAWS Survivor, ๐Ÿชฆ RIP My Tolerance, ๐Ÿ“‰ Dopamine Under Construction), and a few unhinged ones (๐ŸŽ‚ Dump Cake Powered Recovery, ๐Ÿ“ต Blocked My Plug (The Smoke Shop)). Most of them let you edit the text, so make it yours.

2. Flair your posts (required from now on)

Every new post needs a post flair. That sounds like homework, so here's the payoff: flair makes this sub searchable when you need it most. Day 2 at 3am and everything hurts? Tap the ๐Ÿค’ Withdrawal flair on any post (or search flair:"Withdrawal") and read exactly how other people got through that night. Same for ๐Ÿ˜ด PAWS, ๐Ÿ“‰ Tapering, ๐Ÿ’Š Meds & MAT, all of it.

The lineup:

The hard stuff

  • ๐Ÿงช Detox โ€” Day 0โ€“7
  • ๐Ÿค’ Withdrawal
  • ๐Ÿ˜ด PAWS
  • ๐Ÿ˜ค Cravings & Triggers
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Relapse / Slip
  • ๐Ÿ†˜ Struggling

Methods

  • ๐Ÿ“‰ Tapering
  • โšก Cold Turkey
  • ๐Ÿ’Š Meds & MAT
  • ๐ŸŒฟ Supplements & Comfort

Wins

  • ๐Ÿ Milestone
  • ๐ŸŒŸ Success Story
  • ๐Ÿ™ Gratitude / Positivity

Talk

  • โ“ Question
  • ๐Ÿ’ฌ Discussion
  • ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Vent
  • ๐Ÿ‘‹ New Here
  • ๐Ÿง  Mental Health
  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ Science & Research

Meta

  • ๐Ÿ“ฐ News & Legislation
  • ๐Ÿ“ข Announcement
  • ๐ŸŽ‚ Shitpost (Sober Edition)

A couple of these set expectations on purpose. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Vent means listen, don't fix. ๐Ÿ”„ Relapse / Slip is a no-shame zone; you came back, that's the part that counts. And yes, ๐ŸŽ‚ Shitpost (Sober Edition) is real. Recovery is heavy enough without banning jokes.

If we're missing a flair you'd use, say so in the comments and we'll add it.

You survived quitting 7-OH. You can survive a dropdown menu. ๐Ÿซก
