Hey all,
I have not read all your posts but can empathise with you all from what I have read. Long story short, I was taking kratom everyday for 3 years and quit while having to walk across northern Spain for a month (Camino de Santiago) I couldn't hack it so I started buying codeine in every village that had a pharmacy to cope with this shit. Anyway I'm off kratom 3 years now and I could never get it again because it was banned here in 2010. I had to come off the codeine when I came home and I swear that loperamide(as stupid as it sounds) saved any hardcore withdrawal and as I tapered that I am free form addiction for 2 years. All I can say is that it's so fucking worth it to get off kratom. I swear it was harder to ct off than codeine and before I did quit I was having fucked up depressing episodes that were all down to the leaf. Panic attacks were all down to the types of strains I was taking prior to quitting, I had been taking extracts and they are hardy. I turned into a kind of exercise freak, I eat smoothies every day and walk miles for exercise and get a familiar feeling of satisfaction from exercise sometimes that I did from kratom. I was not a social character on kratom, I am wayyy more social now and am actually interested in stuff. Kratom (if abused) kills compassion and turns you in on yourself, all you will want is comfort. I think it is a gift for those of us who don't abuse and can actually enjoy it but I just liked it too much and totally abused it essentially ruining it for myself. Anyway I wish I could show you how good it is on the other side sometimes and the kratom cloud will rob stuff from you, ye you will be comfortable but you won't have a real experience.
good luck!
