I used to be a hardcore heroin addict but found that lifestyle financially unsustainable and not even that great anyway because I would miss out on life since I was nodding all the time.
Since then I have experimented with alternating drugs in order to keep my tolerance down. I have found that heroin, kratom and suboxone all have incomplete cross tolerance. That means that if you keep cycling them back and forth you can avoid hardcore addiction to any of them. Of course since they all bind to opiate receptors, you will still be an opioid addict and there will be some withdrawal when you stop but in my experience, the withdrawal is nothing like hardcore opiate withdrawal, its not even like kratom withdrawal, which I found could be pretty severe after prolonged use. If you keep switching from kratom back to opiates, you will never get addicted to all the alkaloids in kratom, your addiction will only be to whatever part of the brain kratom and opiates overlap at, which is much smaller than if you allow yourself to get truly hooked on a single drug.
I am not saying that this is a magical way to prevent addiction, you will still be addicted, but ironically, if you alternate kratom with heroin you will be much less addicted than if you simply took kratom all the time, I have found.
