I would without question like, to encourage you to try it.I have managed to be clean from heroin now I am on subutex after I overdosed and injured myself around christmas time.
I am alcohol dependant though, and really am battling that. I have managed to reduce my intake, but I can't seem to stop. I have never tried Kava.
Reaching out for help, would you recommend I try it, or is it too dangerous where I may well likely drink alcohol?
I see you as having far more to gain potentially than to lose. It could change your life. You would really be stunned to hear how it has done for so many ex alcohol drinkers.
kava feels very similar to alcohol in the anxiolytic, social enhancing, disinhibiting, and general relaxation all effects sense.
I would never nowadays personally crave the effect I used to miss and crave at times and enjoyed from alcohol, because Kava gives me a better version of that, without any toxicity, in a healing fashion too.
Now if you did combine kava and alcohol once or twice, it’s not like....don’t cross the lightsabers whatever you do if you get me.
It pertains really to regular practice and lifestyle. In the name of not overburdening your liver, because Kava inhibits certain enzymes which break alcohol down, which will unquestionably lead to liver harm- and this is the reason for that being the only actual, genuine contraindication I am aware of, but I’m not ruling out others.
So if you tried kava and somehow ended up having some alcohol as well, and if kava just didn’t suffice for that purpose for you, you would be unlikely to do any actual real harm, just dipping your toe, just best avoided.
I mean, I would just encourage you to make a short term commitment, take a minimum 24 hrs off alcohol, try the kava, properly, not underdosing, and correctly prepared or instant Kava, and just commit to leaving off alcohol entirely that evening, see how it feels.
For some people however, there is an unusual in the “drug” world phenomenon with kava of genuine short term reverse tolerance to be worked through, it can take 1 to 3 weeks at most.
I myself did not experience the Reverse Tolerance effect, Kava worked very well from 1st go for me.
You could have a lot to gain and nothing at all to use, as I know for a fact many have discovered to delight, hence my open encouragement of the consideration at least.
If you want any help, tips for basic prep technique options, diff types of kava, cultivar recommendations etc, feel free to pm me anytime.
