I found kratom in 2016 in the height of my addiction, at first I didn’t care for it, I didn’t feel anything and at the time I was going hard core on all substances. In 2018 my father passed away, and something in me changed, I was just so tired of the up and down and decided I was done. I started taking kratom again but I was still on my addict mindset, so I won’t lie I abused it, I started taking extracts about 3-4 times a week but in May of 2022 I said this is no different than a pill habit, those shots are 20 dollars a piece. So I stopped taking them with just plain leaf powder, it took a long time to feel normal again. But I’ve been off opiates for almost 6 years now, and I’ve finally found my good dose. Kratom has saved my life.
